Aidan O'Brien's GUN CARRIAGE was caught in the closing stages over further on debut at Leopardstown before dropping to third, so this trip could see him off the mark with improvement more than probable. Paddy Twomey's Standard Deviation is likely to come on plenty from an opening fourth at Gowran Park last month. Joseph O'Brien introduces two colts in Valorous Power and Dancingondiamonds, who should be given a market check. The former is by Frankel and is a full-brother to a Group 3-placed filly. There are plenty of winners in newcomer Bold Spirit's pedigree, while Washington Street could have improved over the winter.
Tough to get away from the well bred GUN CARRIAGE who will appreciate the quickening ground and placed on debut behind a rival who has since finished runner up at Listed level. That sets a clear standard ahead of Standard Deviation who was green but flew home when the penny dropped first time out. He can chase the selection home if progressing as expected while Dancingondiamonds may do best of the Jospeh O'Brien newcomers.

FAIYUM created a good impression when winning on debut at Naas in March. The form has worked out incredibly well, with the second, third and fifth all delivering in maiden company on their next starts. Faiyum is a filly with considerable potential. Iowa City could be a more-than-useful recruit for Paddy Twomey. She was never out of the first three in nine starts in France, which yielded a maiden victory in addition to a runner-up berth in a Group 3. Her experience makes her dangerous. De Novo, who was a beaten favourite in third at Gowran Park, looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's pair.
The standard is set by Iowa City who was highly tried in France last year placing at Group level on soft ground in the autumn. She should run well on stable debut but may be vulnerable to race fit debut winner FAIYUM. She wasn't fully extended first time out and both the placed horses behind her won next time out so she likely had plenty more in the tank and is potentially classy. De Novo may do best of the O'Brien duo behind that pair.

QUEEN OF THUNDER sets a high bar with a mark of 102. Her rating rocketed up from 82 after a mid-division finish in the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh almost a year ago. She has a Group 2 entry this month and a Group 1 entry for June, so it is fair to assume she has trained on from three to four. Royal Entry showed potential last season when placed in three maidens and has since switched to Paddy Twomey. She gets a first-time visor and, interestingly, holds the same Group 1 entry next month. Ocean Manifest should appreciate better ground on his first start since moving to Stephen Thorne, while Convincing shouldn't be ruled out.
A couple miles clear of their rivals on form here in Royal Entry and QUEEN OF THUNDER. The former finished last season in good form chasing home a Graded hurdles winner in this discipline and if getting a stiff test at the trip will go close on her return. The latter also has an absence to overcome but has a class edge on these having run well in the Irish Guineas last spring. She wasn't helped by a slow start that day either and her debut effort has been franked at Listed level. If ready to go for her first run in a year she will be tough to stop.

DAZZLING SPIRIT made a promising return to action in third in Gowran Park at the start of April. There's no doubt the handicapper gave her a chance and she remains on the same mark ahead of her second outing for Cian Collins. Colin Keane is an eyecatching booking for her. Still She Blooms hasn't been beaten far in her last five appearances and is on a very handy mark with Jack Kearney's 5lb claim factored in. She has the box seat in stall one. Mogwli gave Megan Telford-Kelly her first winner in Gowran Park last week. He races off 7lb higher, but of more concern is the widest draw of all.
Maiden STILL SHE BLOOMS has shown a consistent level of form on maiden and turf so is taken to get off the mark here. Her latest run came on ground softer than ideal and she is open to further improvement on this quicker surface. Harry The Rogue was a winner on his penultimate start and was far from disgraced next time having met trouble. If turned out quickly he may provide the biggest threat ahead of Dazzling Spirit who is on a long losing run but hinted at a revival last time off a reduced mark.

Having caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third at Navan last time, ICE JET can open his account. Making his handicap debut, on his first start since October, the John O'Donoghue-trained gelded looked to appreciate the step up in trip. Faced with an extra furlong now, the son of Phoenix Of Spain should relish the long run-in. Ranting And Raven was disappointing on her first start outside of maiden company recently but is almost certainly better than that form. Perhaps, the application of first-time blinkers will see the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly show a bit more here. With John Joseph Murphy always a man to fear at this track, Love Sonnet and Eagles Dream have to be respected.
A tight contest where it may be best to stick with the experienced and steadily progressive REFRESHMENT. He's proven himself versatile surface wise and capable off his current rating so if his stamina holds up over this longer trip he should go close under this top jockey. Ice Jet benefitted from a drop in grade when placed on handicap debut over a stiff 10f and is entitled to be thereabouts over this slightly longer distance. Consistent AW performer Sottsands completes the list of dangers.
Below par comfortably held in a handicap over 2m at Kempton last time; usually consistent; flat and hurdles winner; bit to find off stiff looking mark
Winner of six races from 1m to 2m on ground varying from soft to yielding - soft and on the all-weather; has also won a hurdle. Finished 16l behind Cool Party when sixth of 9 at 12-1 on his latest outing at Kempton over 2m in March.

Having had just the four starts on the Flat at the very beginning of his career, ZANAHIYR could be very well handicapped. After winning his maiden for Michael Halford at Fairyhouse in 2020, the gelding was subsequently bought to go jumping with Gordon Elliott. Successful in his first three runs over flights, he later finished runner-up in Grade 1 races on four occasions. Although not the force of old in recent years, Zanahiyr ran a huge race when third off 145 in last years Galway Plate. Reverting to the Flat off a mark of 77 here, he has to be well treated. The veteran Lord Erskine and lightly raced four-year-old Robbies Rock look the biggest threats to the Elliott runner.
Dual purpose performers look the way into this and the classy hurdler ZANAHIYR may well be the answer. A multiple Graded winner in that discipline he was still rated as high as 155 this year making an opening flat rating of 77 look extremely lenient. Furthermore when last seen in this sphere he was landing a maiden over 12f so there is likely more to come over this longer distance. Robbies Rock has proven progressive in both codes and appeared to find 12f too sharp last time. He has plenty of mileage in this mark based on his hurdles form and is another likely improver up in trip. He can chase the selection home ahead of recent charity race winner Dark Note who is feasbily treated returned to handicaps.

This looks a nice opportunity for WAR ROOMS to register a first Irish success. Runner-up over this trip at Gowran Park on his recent stable debut, the four-year-old was staying on well at the finish. Sure to be all the better for that outing, the Gerard Keane-trained gelding should land this prize before having his sights raised. A bumper winner at this track, San Salvador later went on to record a Grade 3 victory over fences at Roscommon. Successful on the all-weather at Dundalk in January, the Joseph O'Brien-trained nine-year-old will appreciate this test of stamina. Comic Book is another with leading claims in what looks a competitive affair despite the small number of runners.
Two clear standouts here in WAR ROOMS and Cosmic Book who were both highly tried last year. The latter ran well to place at Group level at Newmarket last year and is best forgiven her reappearance Listed run where she needed the outing. The former appeals most though having chased home a useful veteran on his recent reappearance and run well behind a top class winner in the Dante last year. He is open to further progress this term and is the one to beat here.
