3,000 gns son of Sir Prancelot was down the field on debut at Naas last November before finishing last of 17 beaten 43L earlier this month in a Leopardstown maiden over this trip. Looks a tall order on form shown.

Teofilo colt, half-brother to a winner and dam a Group 3 winner who is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Cape Cross. Plenty to like about his fourth of 16 beaten 6¾L over C&D earlier this month. Open to plenty of improvement.

7/2
Out of a half-sister to Derby winner Harzand and a couple of Group 3 winners. Promising third of 19 beaten 4½L on debut here over 1m when last seen in November. Yard going well and another bold show looks likely.

Colt by Dubawi out of a Danehill mare. Half-brother to 1m6f - 2m winner Forgotten Rules and 1m2f - 1m4f Listed victor Vintage Nouveau. Second string at Cork on debut earlier this month and appears to be a long term prospect.

Gelding by Heeraat out of a Galileo mare. Cost €57,000 as a yearling. Dam fourth over 1m from three starts, sister to useful winner Jackaroo. Market likely to be the best guide on debut.

Colt by Loup De Vega out of a Azamour mare. Half-brother to French 1m winner Shemda. Likely to be of more interest in time.

Lethal Force colt. Half-brother to multiple winners over variety of trips. Improvement on debut run at Leopardstown in October when finishing 21L adrift of Kastasa in a Clonmel maiden earlier this month. Future interest when handicapping.

Forecasts

Jack Yeats (9/10), Hazran (7/2), Inflection Point (6/1), Mackqeez (8/1), Halimi (12/1), Shamiyan (14/1), Nostra Casa (16/1), Solar Wind (25/1), Overheer (66/1), Tremwedge (66/1), Lake District (66/1), Appian Way (100/1), St Estephe (100/1), Final Endeavour (100/1), Charlie Bit Me (100/1), Indictment (100/1), Saor In Aisce (100/1)

Verdict

The form of the two contests MACKQEEZ ran in last September have produced a fair share of winners and the Adrian Keatley-trained gelding can add to that total here. The son of Elzaam can out-point a couple of big dangers in the shape of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Jack Yeats, beaten a nose at Leopardstown earlier this month and Mick Halford's, Aga Khan-owned, Hazran who ran well in defeat here over 1m when last seen in November.
