Adrian Murray has won this race for the past two years with smart juveniles and riding arrangements suggest POWER BLUE is the pick of his trio. The Space Blues colt from a useful Italian family cost 44,000 pounds as a yearling. Jim Bolger has had many sharp early two-year-olds over the years and he relies on Slaney View, who is by Mehmas and out of a Vocalised mare who has already produced two winners. Zaltan, by Lucky Vega and out of a Listed winner, and the Supremacy filly Ski Supreme are others to consider.

Adrian Murray has won the last 2 runnings of this with smart sorts so it might be best to focus on his trio, with POWER BLUE preferred to Leblon Beach and Stonezilian before any betting clues are known. Slaney View also makes paper appeal in a race where the market should help to shape things.

Three runners here for Adrian Murray who has won the last two editions of the race. David Egan's mount POWER BLUE gets the vote

CLEVER AND CUTE was placed twice in maidens on testing ground last year and this is effectively her first handicap having unseated rider when hitting a rail soon after the start on her latest start at Listowel. She hails from a family that the yard has done well with in the past including Group 3 winner Clever And Cool. Tai Tam Bay got a hefty rise for an impressive win on her reappearance at Naas last spring but held her form well throughout the year, while course winner Back Down Under and New Theory are others to note.

NEVER SHOUT NEVER has been in top form at Dundalk (third on Friday) and has some good runs here to his name so could be the way to go. New Theory is very interesting on her return/handicap debut having opened her account when last seen and chased home the now 112-rated Camille Pissarro first time up as a 2-y-o. Rathbranchurch is another to note having gone well fresh, while Clever And Cute could have more to offer for Jim Bolger this term.

It could pay to take a chance with NEW THEORY who signed off last season with a 5f maiden win at Navan. Clonmacash is a danger

BIG GOSSEY continues to hold his form well despite his advancing years and returns to his favourite track with strong claims. The selection has won seven times at this venue including three premier handicaps over C&D and having signed off on a winning note on the turf here last November, he's performed with credit on three outings at Dundalk this year. Merisi Diamond and Stag Night both handle soft ground well and are two for the shortlist, while Love Billy Boy won on testing ground at Chester last year for Richard Hannon and is an interesting addition to Ger O'Leary's yard.

It might be worth taking a chance on the class-dropping GO ATHLETICO, with the booking of Colin Keane taking the eye. This former C&D Group 3 winner is also equipped with a first-time headgear combination and confidence in his chance would be increased if the betting vibes are strong. Laugh A Minute should be primed for this after a decent reappearance effort at Dundalk and is second choice ahead of Stag Night and the other Ado McGuinness runner Apache Outlaw.

This looks very open. MERISI DIAMOND returned from a similar break to win on this card 12 months ago.

WIN ME OVER is Aidan O'Brien's sole representative from three entries at the five-day stage and the Kingman filly is bred to be smart, being a sister to top-class miler Palace Pier. Saol Nios Gile and Bint Queen Kindly are other newcomers to keep an eye on in the market. Murkala made a promising debut over C&D but didn't really progress in two subsequent starts, while Wannabe Royal was placed on both outings at Dundalk over the winter. Kitty Rickets showed promise in three maidens last year, while Copacabana Sands was unlucky in running when a close third in a valuable Naas event over this trip last autumn.

WIN ME OVER ticks plenty of boxes on paper as a full sister to the mighty Palace Pier and she can make a successful debut for Ballydoyle. Bint Queen Kindly is another well-bred newcomer for a top yard and interestingly holds a Guineas entry, so she must be respected. Wannabe Royal might be the pick of those with experience and the betting may point the way.

Some of those with experience have already performed to a good level, notably COPACABANA SANDS, Kitty Rickets and Murkala.

Another wide-open renewal and 2022 winner RAADOBARG may be worth a shot. He won this off a mark of 98 and is now 3lb lower. The Night Of Thunder gelding was third 12 months ago off a mark of 105 and slipped down the handicap last season, despite a few good efforts. Chris Hayes has won the race twice in the last four years and Independent Expert is an interesting runner on her first outing for Stephen Thorne. She was just edged out in the Irish Cambridgeshire and handles cut in the ground. Rhythm King ended last season in fine form and is another to consider.

Any number to consider but fresh could be the time to catch RAADOBARG starting out for a new yard from a much-reduced mark compared to when third in this a year ago. Gleneagle Bay brings potential to the table so he's on the shortlist, along with Rhythm King at the foot of the weights.

One of the less exposed runners GLENEAGLE BAY can emerge best in a remathc of a C&D clash wit Rhythm King and Orandi

The 90-rated FIRST WAVE sets a good standard and should prove the one to beat if stripping fit. The Wootton Bassett colt was pipped close home on his debut here in October before another solid effort to chase home stablemate Serengeti at Dundalk later that month. Former Cheltenham Champion Bumper winner A Dream To Share is a fascinating runner. He has had his issues and hasn't set the world alight in two hurdle runs this winter, but has the ability to make a nice Flat horse. Admiral Churchill chased home a smart horse in Rock Of Cashel in a Galway maiden last July and is another for the shortlist.

FIRST WAVE has a lot to live up to given his pedigree and sales price but he's sure to make a better 3-y-o so is taken to open his account at the third time of asking. Admiral Churchill is another key form player, while it will be fascinating to see what very talented bumper performer A Dream To Share can do in this code.

Runner-up to stablemates on both starts last year, including at this track, FIRST WAVE (nap) can be suited by the step up to this trip

PANDION POWER may be able to pick up the winning thread again on his return to action. The Footstepsinthesand gelding won twice in soft ground in October and ended his campaign by finishing a solid third at Galway. That final run was his third in a fortnight. Off the same mark, there may be another race in him. Escape Act was a winner in soft ground in England and is one to note on his first outing for Richard O'Brien. English horses can be well handicapped coming to Ireland. Matthew Smith saddles La La Lucrative, a winner at Leicester when last seen, and he's another to note.

PANDION POWER showed improved form on his final 3 starts last season, making another bold bid from the front when finishing third at Galway in his hat-trick bid, so he is taken to resume winning ways on his return. He can see off the challenge of Goldrush Kid, who is respected back on the level, with Martinelli completing the shortlist.

A chance is taken on GOLDRUSH KID who goes well on soft and is fit from hurdling over the winter.

CHESTER NIMITZ ran a big race on his debut at Navan last season when pushing Majestic Wave to half a length, and it was a solid effort to finish third at Dundalk three weeks later. Back on turf, there looks scope for further improvement. Alfred Tennyson is rated a couple of pounds superior and had some solid form last season. He's a leading contender on the pick of his juvenile form. Mathan ran well with cut in the ground when second to Bodhi Bear at Navan and is another who has to come into calculations.

An expensive purchase, MATHAN has shown plenty on the track having only been bettered by a useful-looking rival when runner-up on his second start, and he is taken to make a winning return. Alfred Tennyson has already shown a fair level of ability and may improve as a 3-y-o, as might Passing Phase following a gelding operation, while Chester Nimitz could be a different proposition returned to the turf.

Having finished a close third to a pair of smart sorts on his final start last year, ALFRED TENNYSON can take this.
