2/1

Produced a respectable effort on debut when fourth over C&D. Holds Falsaron comfortably on the bare form of that contest and despite the poor form of the yard he must rate highly on the shortlist.

Falsaron¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Donnacha O'Brien

14/1

Looked in desperate need of the experience when failing to get involved over C&D on debut last week. Should be more straightforward this time but does need to show vastly more ability. One to oppose for the time being.

Hale Bopp

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons

5/2

Represents the bang in-form Ger Lyons/Colin Keane combination. By Belardo and went from 44,00gns as a foal to 80,000gns as a yearling. Half-brother to 7f two-year-old winner Kestrel Prince and should be involved at the finish.

Mexico City

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

5/1

No Nay Never colt. Sales price rose from €160,000 as a foal to 260,000gns as a yearling to three French winners over a variety of trips ranging from 7f-1m4f. Afforded maximum respect for powerful connections on debut.

Military Style

10/3

Beautiful pedigree being a War Front colt out of 2018 Epsom Oaks winner Forever Together. Full brother to 7f AW two-year-old winner King Of Athens. Yards newcomers are more forward than usual this season and he looks the pick of the Ballydoyle pair.

An interesting looking maiden on paper with Eastern Voice a leading player after he finished fourth on debut over C&D last week. The second from that contest has been deemed good enough to contest the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot, but the form of the yard is a major worry, Therefore, this can go to MILITARY STYLE looks the most likely one to make a winning racecourse debut. This colt has an attractive pedigree and is narrowly favoured over stablemate Mexico City on paper. It would be no surprise to see a big run from Hale Bopp who makes his debut for the all conquering Ger Lyons and Colin Keane and looks the biggest danger to the selection.
