Zoffany gelding, cost €16,000 as a yearling. Dam a sister to a winner over further. Not a good sign he's already had a gelding operation and others make more appeal on pedigree.

Galileo colt, brother to three useful types, one of whom a juvenile winner over this trip. Dam a sister to a Group 1 winner over this trip. Yard's debutantes can need the run but plenty to like on paper here.

Galileo colt, brother to a winner over this trip. Dam a Group 3 winning sprinter and half-sister to two Group 1 winners including Hydrangea. Beautifully bred but Sydney Opera House may be first-string here.

Dawn Approach colt, dam a juvenile winner who placed in Group class and half-sister to more pattern level performers. Yard can reveal expectations here.

Bated Breath colt, cost €26,000 as a foal and 72,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to a Listed winner. Well beaten on debut at Gowran but given time to recover and may do better here.

Australia colt, cost €140,000 as a yearling. Dam a half-sister to a Group 3 winner and a Listed winner. Makes appeal on pedigree and yard should reveal how he may run here.

Zoffany colt, cost €31,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners. Dam a sister to a Listed winner. Likely to be in need of his debut.

Australia colt, cost 525,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to five winners including Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling. Sure to appreciate the step up in trip from a highly promising Curragh debut. Leading claims here.

Forecasts

Sydney Opera House (4/9), Madhmoon (9/2), Jack Yeats (8/1), Army Recruit (10/1), Constantinople (12/1), Marshall Law (16/1), Patrick Sarsfield (20/1), Pearland (50/1)

Verdict

If SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE improves from his debut as many of Aidan O'Briens typically do, he's going to be hard to beat here with only one other runner with experience in here. Stablemate Jack Yeats is beautifully bred and any money for the colt ought to be noted. Patrick Sarsfield is another who makes appeal on paper.
  1. Sydney Opera House
  2. Jack Yeats
  3. Patrick Sarsfield
