Looked green in the early stages at Roscommon on debut but stayed on well to get the better of his three rivals. Yard in good form and likely capable of better but needs a sizable step forward from that effort to trouble some of these.

Still a maiden after four starts, narrowly beaten last time out at Leopardstown but needs to improve to have a say here now upped in trip.

Finally off the mark when returned to maiden company at Gowran Park last time but plenty more needed in here and down the order on jockey bookings.

Runner-up to a nice prospect at Naas on debut and only just beaten back at that course on return. Should come on for that run and he's the first-string on jockey bookings here.

Pour Moi colt, cost €50,000 as a yearling. Won in impressive fashion over a similar trip at Dundalk last month. More needed here but progress likely and not ruled out.

Won a Dundalk maiden in November and ran well in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown last time out. Form of that race looks rock solid and he sets the standard here.

A winner on debut at Gowran Park last year and bounced back from a disappointing run at Leopardstown in a Group 3 with a handicap success back at that course last month. More needed back up in class here though.

Confirmed the promise of her debut at Dundalk with a win back at that course in March. Plenty to like about that effort and ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time. Potentially more to come upped in trip here.

Justified favouritism on debut at Leopardstown but struggled up in class twice since, most recently in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket. Drop in class should help but down the order on jockey bookings. Wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Looked like an exciting prospect last year but she's been in poor form this time around and not beaten a rival home in either of her last two starts. Bounce back needed.

Forecasts

Latrobe (3/1), Platinum Warrior (7/2), Ming (11/2), Conclusion (6/1), Harvestfortheworld (7/1), Sarrocchi (8/1), Boho (16/1), Sizzling (16/1), Cimeara (40/1), Irish Minister (50/1)

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has won eight of the last 10 renewals of this race and it's likely to be significant Moore sides with Conclusion but the maiden will have to take a sizable step forward form what he's done so far. Stablemate Latrobe is an interesting contender who ran well on return last time and may come forward for that effort. However, PLATINUM WARRIOR sets the standard on form after an excellent effort in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown last time and he's still unexposed.
