Requinto colt is a half-brother to 5f winner Accalia, makes debut here and potentially going to find a couple of these too strong on paper.

Alhebayeb colt cost €15,000 as a yearling, is a half-brother to multiple winners and no reason this trip won't suit for a starting point.

Seventh foal by No Nay Never out of the Group 3 6f-winning dam Theann. Finished third in 5f Naas maiden on debut, no surprise to see improved effort for Ballydoyle team going typically well.

8/1
Vocalised colt, plenty on pedigree to suggest he'll be best suited by a longer trip in time but worth noting for this firm on debut, sporting a tongue-strap.

Galileo colt whose dam was a two-year-old winner over 5f, makes debut here and faces a few notable newcomers. Market can steer.

Forecasts

Land Force (11/10), Wargrave (13/8), Indigo Balance (5/1), Vocatus (8/1), Biltmore (12/1), Gotohawkeye (14/1), Wolfofmountstreet (25/1), Gee Rex (33/1)

Verdict

LAND FORCE shaped well enough on debut last month at Naas and the Ballydoyle colt is a likely improver now. He steps up in trip and, given how he finished last time, should be well suited and hard to topple. The market will tell more of the newcomers, with Indigo Balance and Vocatus deemed most likely to leave their mark.
