Promising sort. 3/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 34 days ago, best work finish. Open to progress and he's a must for the shortlist.

9/1

Foaled March 2. Camelot colt. Closely related to 7f winner Fountain and half-brother to 1m-10.7f winner Latchet and useful 1m-1¼m winner Mother Vincent. One to note in the betting.

25/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, soft) on debut 21 days ago, never nearer. Stable in good form and improvement on the cards.

Interpretation

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

10/1

Foaled February 23. Dam, ran twice in France, half-sister to very smart performer Dolniya. Interesting to see how he fares in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemate Cleveland.

11/8

Promising type. Third of 10 in minor event at Cork (8f, soft, 10/3) 24 days ago. Remains open to improvement and he's the one to beat.

8/1

Foaled April 18. Brother to very smart performer Cliffs of Moher and 12.5f winner Lugnaquilla. Represents top yard, but jockey bookings suggest he may be the least fancied of the stable's trio.

50/1

Foaled March 4. €15,000 yearling, Vocalised colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Spring Focus. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner). Will only be of interest on debut if notably strong in the betting.

Forecasts

Kailash (11/8), Cleveland (3/1), Ebasari (15/2), Lord Of The Manor (8/1), Coolcullen (9/1), Interpretation (10/1), Uno Miligre (12/1), Lunar Power (33/1), San Aer (50/1), Captain Rock (66/1), Parliament Hill (66/1), Montepulciano (125/1), No Never Again (150/1)

The Aga Khan-owned colts EBASARI and Kailash are both appealing. The latter sets a good standard on the strength of his latest effort at Cork where he was just behind subsequent Group 3 winner Flying Visit. However, Ebasari shaped with distinct promise on his Leopardstown debut and he is open to any amount of improvement. Cleveland, one of three representing Aidan O'Brien, is also shortlisted.
