Dundalk runner-up FIRST APPROACH can go one place better. The Aidan O'Brien-trained No Nay Never colt made eyecatching late headway to take minor honours on that initial run last month. Sure to have benefited from that introduction, he can make the most of a potentially favourable high draw. Award Ceremony, who finished third in that aforementioned maiden, is also entitled to be sharper now. Donnacha O'Brien's filly ran green when coming off the bridle, but is likely to be a different proposition on this second start. Both the Aidan O'Brien-trained Kansas and Jessica Harrington's Taiyi are newcomers worthy of consideration, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
This looks like a shoot-out between Father and Son with Aidan O'Brien's FIRST APPROACH re-opposing Donnacha's Award Ceremony. The pair ran almost identical races when second and fourth at Dundalk on their debuts and the former is taken to confirm that running. Amiata from Ger Lyons yard may prove to be best of the newcomers though Aidan's Kansas is not to be overlooked.
Probably needed race beaten 5l in a handicap over 6f at The Curragh last time though ran well to a point; generally out of form; top course jockey; down in trip; needs more
A winner at 5f on good ground. Beaten 5l behind Gazelle D'or at 9-1 when eighth of 15 on her latest outing at Curragh over 6f (good) last month.

TOMARLO should be all the better after his recent third at Tipperary. Noticeably weak in the market, the David Marnane-trained three-year-old travelled into the race strongly before weakening inside the final furlong. Likely to be much straighter, the son of Iffraaj has the potential to be a lot better than a mark of 67. Nicely drawn towards the stands side, the gelding should be capable of making his presence felt against more exposed opposition. Navan winner Beano Power should be competitive off an 8lb higher rating. Eddie Lynam has few peers when it comes to training sprinters, so further improvement would not surprise. Sarahmae, who beat the selection last time, is another with leading claims.
Sarahmae got the better of TOMARLO last time but she had a fitness edge that day and may struggle to confirm that form on these revised terms. The selection was a winner over 6f on the AW this winter so will appreciate this stiffer venue compared to his turf return. Far At Sea left her previous form behind last time in a maiden and though she may be flattered by that she looks well treated back in a handicap so could surprise at a big price. Surpass And Shine is a strong stayer at the trip and was well fancied for her final couple of starts last term. He is entitled to come on for his reappearance and if settling better can complete the places.

Having finished third on his debut at the Curragh, EVENING BLUES should take the beating. The Ger Lyons-trained colt didn't really get the run of the race on that occasion, having to wait for the gaps to open before keeping on late. Even then, the son of Blue Point gave the distinct impression that he would be all the better for the experience. As the only runner in this field with a previous outing to his name, he has a definite advantage. A half-brother to a dual Group 1-winning sprinter, Gstaad has to be respected on his racecourse debut. Aidan O'Brien's other representative Albert Einstein also warrants consideration on his first start.
There are some hot-looking newcomers in this, but experience counts for three or four lengths in general and EVENING BLUES who ran very promisingly on debut may see them all off. Albert Einstein has probably acquired his name because he is expected to be "relatively" good and is probably the stable first string while Gstaad cost what you could buy a rather nice detached house in most parts for and is worth consideration.

A progressive sprinter last season, PINAR DEL RIO can make a winning debut for Kieran Cotter. Narrowly denied at the Curragh on his return last April, the gelded son of Havana Gold tends to run well fresh. With Paddy Harnett claiming a valuable 5lb and provided that the low numbers are the place to be, the six-year-old has to be very competitive. With Colin Keane a notable booking, the Paul Flynn-trained Rappell enters calculations. A three-time winner last term, the Soldier's Call gelding should be all the better for his return at the Curragh. Never Shout Never can also play a leading role.
This is a little bit needle in a haystack time. A chance is taken with NEVER SHOUT NEVER who is in good form and looks on a fair mark. Altimara whose yard won the race last year could threaten and Staysound Susie has a chance based on the form of her penultimate start.

In a race which has the potential to become quite tactical, GAZELLE D'OR is a tentative selection. Michael Grassick's filly is a strong traveller who will be suited to getting a lead before being produced from off the pace. A winner at the Curragh last time, the daughter of Equiano is 5lb higher. However, having only had the 10 career runs, she could still be open to further improvement this term. No Return, who was clear after a furlong when making all to win his maiden, rates a threat. Jorge Alvares adopted similar tactics to win at Dundalk, so supporters will be hoping that they don't cut each other's throats vying for the lead.
This is a cracking little handicap with at least four having very serious chances. Preference is for NO RETURN who while probably not quite as good as his trap to line win in a good maiden last time suggests still looks well handicapped. Jorge Alvares is extremely likeable and is a danger both because he may try to take the selection on up front and because he has a live chance regardless. If those two do cut each others throats the one to benefit is likely to be hold-up horse Gazelle D'Or who was dropped in front on the line last time after travelling very well.
Ran to form beaten 6l in Athasi Stakes (Group 3) over 8f at The Curragh last time; that backed up very solid 2yo form; one of three for the yard that tends to win the race, probably not first string
A winner at 7f on good - yielding ground. Finished 6l behind Atsila when sixth of 11 at 14-1 on her latest outing in the Group 3 Coolmore Stud Auguste Rodin Irish EBF Athasi Stakes at Curragh over 1m (good) earlier this month.

Recent C&D maiden winner KALIXA may be progressive enough to cope with this step up in class. The Dermot Weld-trained filly quickened up smartly to lead over two furlongs out before keeping on strongly to repel all challenges. With just the three starts to date, the daughter of Kingman is open to any amount of improvement. She is certainly in the right hands to develop into a leading middle-distance horse this season. Island Hopping, who beat the selection at Gowran last September, arguably sets the standard. Third in a Group 3 at Navan recently, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly should improve from that outing. Tamam Desert is one who could run well at a bigger price.
Ballydoyle tend to win this race and are three-handed, but on this occasion it may go to another yard. GOTOMYLOVELY is a big, good looking filly and looked to be just getting her act together when winning last time. That form is probably the best on offer and she is taken to improve and win this. Island Hopping is probably the best of the O'Brien trio. Garden Of Eden could be their number two and make the places.
Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 7f here most recent; won modest maiden prior; up in trip; others preferred
A winner at 1m on heavy ground. Well beaten at 5-1 behind East Hampton when last of 10 on his latest outing here over 7f (soft - heavy) in March.

If first-time blinkers work the oracle, GALVESTON can resume winning ways. Strongly fancied when a beaten favourite on his racecourse debut last September, the Frankel colt subsequently made all to win at this track. Again somewhat disappointing on his seasonal reappearance in March, the application of headgear may just see him in a better light. With just the seven runners, Wayne Lordan might be able to dictate from the front. Despite being unraced on grass, the Ger Lyons-trained Heather has shown enough to suggest that she can make her presence felt. Killarney maiden winner Tangapour is almost certainty better than he showed at this venue on his return.
GALVESTON has always been held in high regard by his connections and though he was slightly disappointing on reappearance he did have excuses that day when going off too fast and meeting trouble. His yard has clicked into gear this week and his breeding suggests he should be a level above this. He can account for the steadily progressive Marazion who should come on a bundle for her first run in 9 months. William F Browne is probably flattered by his claiming wins but brings in an experience edge so isn't dismissed and neither is impressive AW winner Heather.

Fourth over C&D at the beginning of the season, SHARAYKA can make the most of that experience. Well supported to make a winning debut, the daughter of Pinatubo shaped with plenty of promise before weakening late on. With the second and third horses both going on to win subsequently, that form has a solid look about it. Given time to recover, the Dermot Weld-trained filly should also be more at home on this better ground. Paddy Twomey debutants always deserve maximum respect - a remark that applies to Bond International here. Any market support should be noted. Weld's second string Katashuna shouldn't be left out of calculations on her initial appearance.
SHARAYKA was well backed on debut and shaped with promise before flattening out on testing ground. That race has thrown up numerous winners since and she is taken to justify that support on this quicker surface. Smiling also hails from a top stable and has shown a consistent level of form so far. She should appreciate this step up in trip and can follow the selection home. The well bred Bond International comes from a shrewd yard and is worth checking in the betting ahead of her debut.
