Thrice-raced winner. Won 11-runner maiden at Leopardstown (1m, good, 11/2) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Stable in good form. Will need tro leave that bare form well behind to figure in this higher grade.

11/1
Useful filly. 10/3, creditable 3 lengths second of 8 to Rumbles of Thunder in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Can figure but Hannibal Barca has to be considered yard first string.

Forecasts

Hannibal Barca (7/4), Boundless Ocean (11/4), Lyrical Poetry (4/1), Anchorage (11/2), Seisai (11/1), Sussex (14/1), Global Energy (33/1), Manbehindthemoney (50/1)

Verdict

HANNIBAL BARCA is an exciting new recruit for the Joseph O'Brien stable and can make a winning return to action for his new connections. Aidan O'Brien has a very good record in this so Anchorage, the mount of Ryan Moore from the yard's pair, is put forward as the chief threat ahead of Boundless Ocean, who acquitted himself quite well in the 2000 Guineas last month.
