100-rated Jim Bolger representative Stellar Mass sets the standard for the rest to aim at, having been beaten by only a length in Group 2 company at the Curragh in September, though he has suffered defeats in maiden company the last twice and may be worth taking on with HOUSESOFPARLIAMENT. The selection is entitled to build on his debut fifth over 1m1f at Tipperary and could improve for the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie. Any money for Dermot Weld's newcomer Orillion would be notable.
HOUSESOFPARLIAMENT shaped with plenty of promise in a decent Tipperary maiden on his sole 2-y-o start and, likely to be far more street-wise this time, the well-bred colt looks the way to go. Stellar Mass brings the most solid form to the table and will be a live danger if, as expected, he copes with this step up in trip. Mighty Legend is also worthy of serious consideration.
He has won three times from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to heavy. A winner at 5-2 in the Group 1 Criterium International Group 1 Stakes at Saint-Cloud over 7f (heavy) on his latest outing in November last year, beating Stormy Antarctic by a head.

Johannes Vermeer landed a C&D Group 3 last year and ended his juvenile campaign with a Group 1 success over 7f at Saint-Cloud. He sets the standard on that performance, though he is returning from a 161-day break and is entitled to come on for the run. With many Aidan O'Brien runners often improving for their comeback run, it might be worth siding with TRUE SOLITAIRE, who appears to be Dermot Weld's best chance of landing this race for the third year in succession. The selection was second to the first-named over C&D in September but may be a bit further forward than that rival at this point in the year. Stenographer, who made a winning debut at the Curragh, also enters calculations.
JOHANNES VERMEER signed his 2-y-o campaign off by landing a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud and, assuming he's fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance, Aidan O'Brien's charge should prove a very tough nut to crack. True Solitaire chased home the selection in a C&D Group 3 in September and could again be the one for the forecast, although Curragh maiden winner Stenographer is also feared.
Successful twice at 7f on good to firm and good ground. Beaten 3/4l by Catch A Glimpse when second of 15 at 14-5fav on her latest outing in the Group 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland over 1m (firm) in October last year.

ALICE SPRINGS built on her Cheveley Park fourth when landing a 7f sales race at HQ and then signed off her juvenile campaign with a superb second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland in October. The selection is making her season return and the concern is that she might just need the run. However, she sets a clear form bar for the others to aim at and gets the vote in hope the market vibes are positive. Dermot Weld's Juliette Fair was second in a Listed race over 6f at Fairyhouse in September and is considered the main danger ahead of Queen Of Sicily, who finished an outpaced third over the extended 6f at the Curragh last summer.
This could result in a 1-2 for the Aidan O'Brien yard, with ALICE SPRINGS taken to see off stablemate How High The Moon and several other promising fillies. The selection went down all guns blazing in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on her final 2-y-o start and will take plenty of beating, assuming conditions here won't be a problem. Radiantly and Red Stars are each-way players.
A winner at 1m on yielding - soft ground. Beaten 1/2l by Gifted Master when second of 8 at 15-8fav on his latest outing in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket over 1m (good) in October last year.

MOONLIGHT MAGIC followed up his neck success over 7f at Cork on debut with a Listed victory over 1m1f at this track next time out and is expected to build on that effort and give a good account now stepping up slightly in trip on his seasonal return. It is hard to get a handle on what Harzand achieved when winning a heavy-ground Cork maiden by 16 lengths last month but this race should tell us more and he's worth a market check, likewise returning Ballydoyle trio Beacon Rock, Cook Islands and Idaho.
Jim Bolger has saddled 3 of the last 6 winners of this race and MOONLIGHT MAGIC could be another Ballysax Stakes hero for the yard. He looked potentially smart when winning both of his 2-y-o starts and could develop into a live Derby contender. Jockey bookings suggest that Cook Islands is the pick of the Ballydoyle trio and is feared most, ahead of stablemate Beacon Rock and Harzand.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 4f on ground varying from good to soft to soft - heavy. Finished 6l behind Buenos Y Bobos when sixth of 8 at 14-1 on his latest outing at Curragh over 1m 2f (heavy) earlier this month.

Benkei was only beaten a length in the Tote November Handicap when last sighted and must enter calculations on his return to action, similarly Alveena who ended last year with solid win and placed efforts at Galway and the Curragh respectively. Preference, however, is for the race-fit PAPA'S WAY. He is a smart dual purpose performer and looks sure to mount a bold bid lining up off the same mark as when a length third at the Curragh last week.
ALVEENA finished nicely clear of the rest when runner-up at the Curragh on her final start of 2015 and, just 2 lb higher on return here and with the promise of better to come, she is the clear pick. Benkei and Papa's Way are both accorded plenty of respect but the biggest threat could be posed by Spacious Sky, who returns from a break on a very attractive mark.
A winner at 1m on yielding ground. Beaten 1/2l by Malicious Intent when second of 11 at 7-4fav on her latest outing at Tipperary over 1m 1f (yielding - soft) in August last year.

AIMHIRGIN LASS improved throughout last year and the feeling is that she will make up into an even better four-year-old. Obviously there is a slight fitness concern, but she ran well first-time-out last season and could potentially be a notch above these rivals. Tribal Path won impressively on similarly testing ground at Cork and he warrants plenty of respect off a light weight, while Falcao also has a squeak in the first-time hood.
HIDDEN OASIS struggled in 2015 but his mark has nosedived as a result, and he shaped well on his reapperance in the Cork handicap won by Tribal Path last month. Conditions here won't be a problem and the 5-y-o could be the answer to this competitive-looking contest. The unexposed Aimhirgin Lass has to be feared, while Tribal Path should go well again and Falcao is also on the shortlist.
A winner at 7f on soft ground. Beaten 17l behind Sruthan at 25-1 when 13th of 22 on his latest outing at Curragh over 1m (yielding - soft) last month.

AUSSIE VALENTINE's two placed efforts last month were full of promise, particularly when runner-up in the Irish Lincolnshire last time, and he is very much the one to beat returning to a venue where his record reads one from one. Unyielding has been a little disappointing over hurdles of late but has a definite chance on his return to Flat duty, while Curragh scorer Shadagann also merits consideration on his reappearance.
AUSSIE VALENTINE lost no caste in defeat when runner-up in the Irish Lincoln at the Curragh last month, a race in which he was also second in 2015, and he will take the world of beating in this less competitive affair. Unyielding makes his handicap debut off a handy-looking mark and is expected to emerge as the main danger, although Laganore is also a live contender.
