Ruler of The World half-brother to useful 1½m winner Alveena out of 1½m Listed winner Aliyfa, herself half-sister to Irish St Leger/Prix Du Cadran winner Alandi. Likely to need further, but merits a market check given his smart pedigree.
Camelot half-brother to 1m winner Battle of Memphis out of a winning half-sister to Canadian Grade 3 2-y-o 1m winner Prussian. Fitting of tongue tie a worry, and yard's newcomers almost always need experience.
Raven's Pass half-brother to 1¼m winner A Wave of The Sea. Cost less when resold last year than as a yearling, and others make more appeal on paper.
Fracas colt out of an unraced half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Eighteen Summers. Didn't show much after breaking well on debut here last month, and looks one of his yard's lesser inmates on that form.
Kitten's Joy colt out of a mare whose previous foal was a minor winner in the US. Yard without a juvenile winner in the past five years, and this colt looks one for the longer term.
Hard Spun colt out of a US 1¼m winner, half-sister to US 2-y-o Grade 2 6f winner Classic Elegance. Cost $60,000 as a yearling, and represents a belated first 2-y-o runner of the season for the yard. Market useful.
Half-brother to 5 winners including useful dual-purpose performer Manhattan Swing, but yard not known for success with juveniles, and he beat only one home on his debut here earlier in the month.
3,400,000 gns full-brother to recent International Stakes winner Japan among other high-class winners, and shaped well when 5½L second of 10 to Geometrical in a 1m maiden at Gowran recently. Sure to progress, and shortlisted.
Full-brother to top-class pair Highland Reel and Idaho, and holds entries in the National Stakes and Dewhurst Stakes, suggesting he's showing plenty at home. Market will be useful in separating him from stablemate Mogul.
Full-brother to 6f-1m3f winner Allimac, and his sales price rose to €70,000 as a yearling. Yard without a two-year-old winner so far this year, although has gone close on occasion. Others more appealing.
Not disgraced after a slow start here on debut, and much improved when neck second of 8 to Innisfree in maiden at Galway last time, finding plenty for pressure despite failing to settle. Sets the standard for others to aim at.
Galileo half-brother to smart 6f winner Astaire and useful winner up to 1¾m Every Chance. One of three well-bred sorts for this powerful yard, and holds an entry in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes here next month.
Forecasts
Mogul (8/13), Shekhem (7/2), King Of The Throne (10/1), Nobel Prize (12/1), Shoshone Warrior (14/1), Dark Voyager (20/1), Fiscal Prudence (25/1), Alatar (25/1), Praise You (33/1), Jurgen (50/1), Camelot Rock (50/1), Manhattan Dandy (100/1)
Shekhem sets the form standard on his Galway second, and should go well again, but it will be a surprise if Aidan O'Brien doesn't have a major impact in this, with three stunningly-bred youngsters, of whom MOGUL appears the pick on riding arrangements. That said, it would be folly to ignore either Nobel Prize or Shoshone Warrior for that reason alone.
