COLD HEARTED made a pleasing debut when third to Sparkling Sea and Fairy Godmother over a similar trip at Naas last month. The form of that race has been working out well since and the Jessica Harrington yard continues in great form. Heavens Gate is an obvious threat having also shaped well on debut when runner-up to the well-backed Unexpected Issues at Navan, while Queens Fury and Twinkling Toes also made promising debuts. And So To Bed is a Kodiac half-sister to three juvenile winners from a stable with a good line on juvenile form, while Grande Marques is by Starspangledbanner and from a family which connections have enjoyed plenty of success with.

This maiden has been won by some smart types over the years and COLD HEARTED is taken to add her name to the roll of honour before going on to better things herself. The two that beat her at Naas last month subsequently fought out the finish of a Group 3 contest, so the form looks strong. Heavens Gate shaped like a ready-made future winner when going down narrowly on her introduction at Navan and she is feared most ahead of Queens Fury and newcomer And So To Bed.

This could be a good chance for COLD HEARTED who chased home two well bred sorts who finished 1-2 in a Group 3 subsequently

Asian Daze gained a third career win when making an impressive reappearance over 7f here earlier this month, beating SLUICE by three and a half lengths. However, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly could be suited by the combination of moving up to a mile and this sounder surface, so may reverse the form on 10lb better terms. Flight Of Fancy takes a drop in class after her fourth in a Naas Group 3 and the step back in trip could suit, while Zaynab showed a smart turn of foot to snatch a 7f maiden here last month. Evening Blossom and September Leaves are two to consider on their handicap debut with useful claimers booked.

The pick of several promising fillies is SHELAKA, who shaped well when chasing home a useful type on her reappearance at Gowran and the return to this trip/switch to handicap company can help unlock improvement. Conversely, Flight of Fancy drops back in trip after contesting a 10.4f listed race at Naas and she is second choice off what looks a fair opening mark. Evening Blossom also merits respect, along with Asian Daze and Sluice, who were the first two home in a handicap here 20 days ago.

SLUICE shaped like she would relish a mile when second here earlier this month and she should have plenty more to give this season

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and ROGUE MILLENNIUM may prove the pick of his trio. The Dubawi mare seems best suited by a mile and good ground, having won the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last year and also filling the runner-up spot behind Tahiyra in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown, before being sold out of Tom Clover's yard for 1,650,000 guineas in December. Goldana had Villanova Queen five lengths behind when just touched off at Gowran last time, while Gregarina got up on the line to pip You Send Me by a head in the Group 3 Athasi Stakes over 7f here earlier this month.

All being well ROGUE MILLENNIUM should prove too strong for her eight rivals. She contested Group 1s after landing the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer and may well kick on again this year now with Joseph O'Brien. Gregarina, one of two fellow representatives from the same yard, could be the one for the forecast, while Ocean Jewel and Orchid Bloom are other plausible candidates for minor honours.

Joseph O'Brien's 2024 recruit ROGUE MILLENNIUM (nap) sets a high standard based on her Royal Ascot win and Matron Stakes second

WHITE BIRCH must turn around the Epsom and Irish Derby form with Auguste Rodin but has had a better preparation. Ground-versatile, he was beaten a little over five lengths by Auguste Rodin in the Derby and, while disappointing in the Irish version, he's looked better than ever this year. Auguste Rodin flopped for a third time in March's Sheema Classic and while two of those disappointments were on seasonal reappearances, he also failed in the King George last July. This race has been his target since Meydan and, while better can be expected, he needs his best to beat the selection in his current mood. Lumiere Rock finished third in October's Prix de l'Opera and is noted along with Elegant Man.

If AUGUSTE RODIN is on one of his going days he'll be hard to stop. Elegant Man jumps from a handicap to a Group 1 but it was some performance from him to defy a mark of 108 at Newcastle on Good Friday and he's feared more than White Birch, a winner of 2 pattern events over C&D already this season.

It is worth opposing the enigmatic Auguste Rodin with the Derby third WHITE BIRCH who has impressed with two Pattern wins this term

OPERA SINGER was a top juvenile last year and while she missed the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket having met with a setback, it is encouraging she contests this Classic. By City Of Troy's sire Justify, she has her first run as a three-year-old and meets high-class, race-fit rivals, although she did win the Prix Marcel Boussac by five lengths last October and looks up to the task. Vespertilio finished a close third in the French equivalent and while she has proven recent form, she would probably prefer some cut in the ground. She was beaten by Fallen Angel here last September, but the UK raider does need to improve on her Newmarket exploits.

The manner in which OPERA SINGER demolished her field in the Marcel Boussac marks her down as a potential top notcher and she can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eleventh success in this race. Moyglare winner Fallen Angel can bounce back from a slightly disappointing run in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow British raider Skellet.

Third in the French 1,000 Guineas third VESPERTILIO gets the vote to reverse last season's Moyglare running with Fallen Angel

SPOKEN TRUTH won the same Cork maiden that Dermot Weld's dual Derby winner Harzand landed in 2016. Those behind him at Cork haven't boosted the form but the son of Frankel remains a colt of some promise and his trainer believes he will improve for better ground. Aidan O'Brien runs three and Ryan Moore has plumped for Mundi. The brother to Churchill won a Dundalk maiden over a mile on debut but doesn't hold any notable entries in the coming months. Stablemate Chief Little Rock, twice runner-up in Group races last term, is highest-rated and ran well when third in a Listed contest at Epsom on his reappearance. Norwalk Havoc's pedigree suggests he may improve for this longer trip.

It looks significant that Ryan Moore has opted to ride MUNDI ahead of Chief Little Rock, who is a proven Group-class performer. Indeed, Mundi looked very promising indeed when landing a Dundalk maiden on debut last month and this superbly-bred colt possesses stacks of potential. Spoken Truth is also promising and he is third choice, albeit only marginally as there's another promising Ballydoyle colt on show in The Equator, while Norwalk Havoc and Stromberg are no back numbers either.

Moore is on Mundi but Wayne Lordan's mount CHIEF LITTLE ROCK was a good juvenile may not have done himself justice at Epsom

SIDIZA, a half-sister to a 1m4f winner from the family of Sinndar, has obviously shown promise in her homework as she holds an entry in the Group 3 Munster Oaks at Cork next month and Dermot Weld's daughter of Sea The Stars can make a winning debut. Ryan Moore sets a poser by riding Lily Hart, unfancied when down the field at Dundalk on her sole outing at two, as opposed to North Africa who was green when showing mild promise at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. The latter holds the same Group 3 entry as the selection, and so too does claimer-ridden Pink Orchid who is a third runner for Ballydoyle. Gowran fourth Hanalia may improve for better ground.

Though passed over by Ryan Moore, NORTH AFRICA is nevertheless appealing on the back of her encouraging introduction at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. Moore's pick Lily Hart was never in the hunt on her sole 2-y-o start at Dundalk but she can be expected to leave that form well behind in time. Hanalia should build on her debut promise, while newcomers Cathedral Peak and Sidiza both need a close look in the betting.

NORTH AFRICA shades the vote with a recent run under her belt. That was an encouraging enough start, a 5th in an above average maiden

Fourth in the Fred Winter, HARSH has risen to a hurdles mark of 128 after winning a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival and looks nicely treated on the level. He's had only five starts in this discipline and is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip. Bay Of Sanibel is a proven stayer and is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Navan. She was value for more than the winning margin and, like the selection, is open to more improvement. Bumper winner The Mediator showed promise in Flat maidens last year and has a massive pull at the weights with Bay Of Sanibel compared to a clash at Navan in October.

BAY OF SANIBEL stuck to her task well when scoring at Navan recently and a 4 lb rise looks very fair indeed. She is taken to see off Harsh and The Mediator, both of whom are open to improvement. Bold Approach took a step back in the right direction at Leopardstown and he is also accorded respect, along with Valleyoftheeagles.

This can go the way of the unexposed BAY OF SANIBEL who has won 2 of her last 3 and a 4lb rise for her latest success looks lenient

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
