Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ronan Whelan| T: T Mullins

Cappella Sansevero colt out of a Dutch Art mare. Midfield finishes in a pair of maidens last autumn does not read like the form of a likely winner of this contest.

50/1

Colt by Free Eagle out of a Dubawi mare. Hasn't looked a winner in waiting on both career starts so far including on latest start at Leopardstown last week.

7/4

War Front colt by a dam who was a Group Three winner as a juvenile but found out at the highest level. Cost 220,000gns as a yearling. Very interesting challenger on debut for yard who have registered two winners from 14 starters since racing resumed

100/1

Footstepsinthesand gelding out of a Kingmambo mare. Closely related to seven-time winner Sonnetation victorious at 1m and 1m1½f. Form in two starts in October/November last year doesn't warrant support here.

War Leader^b1²⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 72

9/4

Full brother to the very smart Lancaster Bomber and showed some signs of promise when second in 6f Listowel maiden on his third start before disappointing again at Naas over 6f when last seen in September. First time blinkers likely to assist.

Form: 6627-

Forecasts

Stalingrad (7/4), War Leader (9/4), Lake Sand (7/2), Principalship (11/1), Grey Streak (18/1), Sansevero Chapel (20/1), Plunkett (20/1), Soaring Monarch (50/1), Sydney Blues (100/1), Kodiac Prince (100/1), Na Caith Tobac (150/1)

The fitting of first time blinkers could be the key to WAR LEADER getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking for connections. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt by War Front can add to the trainers winners in Ireland since racing resumed (13 winners from 71 starters, up to Monday 15th) at the expense of a couple of newcomers in the shape of the Michael O'Callaghan-trained Lake Sand and Stalingrad for the Fozzy Stack yard.
