50/1
Gelded Windsor Knot half-brother to a sprint winner. Makes little appeal though on pedigree and it would be a surprise if he is good enough to score on his racecourse bow.
34,000 gns gelding by Big Bad Bob making his debut. Half-brother to a number of winners and with yard in fine form at present so any market interest would be worth noting.

Last of 10 on racecourse bow at Naas earlier this month and should have learned from that experience. Related to a number of winners, but may need more time.
Cost a massive $2.6 million at Keeneland Sales in November 2015. Very well bred colt by successful US stallion War Front represents top team. Expected to be ready to make an immediate impact.

30,000 euros colt by middle-distance star Duke of Marmalade. Progeny usually need time so it would be a surprise if he is sharp enough to get involved on debut.
340,000 euro Lope De Vega colt is a half-brother to six individual winners, including two listed juvenile winners. Pedigree indicates he should be speedy. Yard shows good level stakes profit with its juveniles.

Showed pace early on Naas debut before getting tired in the closing stages. Will know more today and could be in the mix assuming progression from racecourse bow.

Stepped up on debut effort when staying-on 33/1 third at Dundalk last time. Most experienced in this field but probably not classy enough to land the spoils.

180,000 gns Scat Daddy colt related to an 8f juvenile winner. Dam was useful, so worth checking the market for any sign of confidence from connections.

£100,000 Dandy Man colt. Full brother to a juvenile winner and half-brother to a number of other winners. Yard capable of producing a decent juvenile but may be better for this outing.

46,000 euros Red Jazz colt ran green on recent racecourse bow at Dundalk before keeping on to be 5th. Should improve for that and can't be completely ruled out. Yard in good form.

£65,000 Roderic O'Connor colt representing strong connections. Dam related to a number of decent performers at between 8-10f so looks type to improve when facing more of a trip.

Son of Holy Roman Emperor makes debut here. Pedigree suggests middle distances wil be his game in due course so could be taken off his feet although not completely dismissed.

Interesting pedigree. 90,000 euros Choisir colt out of a Galileo mare who was a middle-distance maiden. Yard made a cracking start to the term so any market confidence would likely be significant.
Sales price jumped from 14,000 euros foal to 64 euros yearling, suggesting this Equiano colt looks the part. Bred to be speedy so one of the more realistic option among the newcomers.

Raven's Pass filly not disgraced on debut at Dundalk on A/W. Better for that outing but may improve when facing more of a trip in due course.
Famous Name filly with decent pedigree. Sire yet to really make a name for himself having been a tough as teak racehorse, and progeny may well need plenty of time.

24,000 euros filly by Arcano, with winner sin the family. Dam full sister to very useful Olden Times. May improve for the run but not totally ruled out of contention on debut.

Forecasts

Verdict

There will be some long faces at Ballydoyle if the $2.6 million colt DECLARATIONOFPEACE doesn't run really well here on his racecourse bow. He's bred to be the part and must be a looker too given that connections forked out so much money for him. Of the few with previous experience Ragtime Red may come out best having hinted he would improve for his first run. Of the other necwcomers, Brick by Brick, Medal of Honour, Raphael and Shifted Strategy are worth noting in the betting markets.
