HOTAZHELL was an eye-catcher when fourth on debut in a hot maiden at Leopardstown last month. He was unable to get racing room in the straight, so his performance can certainly be marked up. Yamal picked up well to finish a place in front of him and is a big player. Hill Road landed a Naas barrier trial and his stable does well with juveniles, while Aidan O'Brien's newcomer Swagman is an obvious threat. Mount Parnassus is a potential improver up in trip, sporting first-time blinkers and on better ground, while Joseph O'Brien's Sea The Stars colt Drivers Seat is another interesting debutant.

A maiden that looks sure to throw up plenty of winners and it's HOTAZHELL who gets the vote having finished with running left when sent off favourite on debut at Leopardstown last month. Yamal was third (a place in front of the selection) that day, and he may well emerge as the main danger, with Swagman and Hill Road a couple of notable debutants, too.

The key to this is a Leopardstown race in which favourite HOTAZHELL failed to get a clear run. He can reverse form with Yamal

TUNBRIDGE WELLS ought to reap the benefit of a runner-up effort on debut at Navan. He was outgunned by a smart sort, but finished nicely clear of the remainder and holds a Group 2 entry at the end of the month. Joseph O'Brien unleashes American Pharoah filly Girl Like You, who has to be taken seriously particularly with the entries she holds. Ger Lyons saddled plenty of winners in May and he takes the wraps off Zambales, who should be checked for market strength. This Ain't Texas was highly tried on debut at Naas and wasn't outclassed in fourth, while there are winners in newcomer Mighty Eriu's pedigree.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS is bred to be smart and produced a very promising first effort when second in a Navan maiden (5.8f) 18 days ago. The type to improve markedly, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better with that under his belt. This Ain't Texas is another likely improver with his debut run behind him and is feared. Zambales and Girl Like You are a couple of the newcomers to note.

No previous winners here and a good opportunity for TUNBRIDGE WELLS to step up a place from an initial run at Naas

Aidan O'Brien's MOTHER NATURE lost out by a short head on her first outing on the Polytrack at Dundalk and can make a successful transition to turf. She holds a Group 3 and Irish Oaks entry, so should have a bright future. Paddy Twomey is well versed in taking the wraps off a horse to win on racecourse bow, so Australia filly Alinta has to be respected. O'Brien's Grateful should be a different proposition over this trip after finishing unplaced over 7f in a valuable race at this track last summer, and she is another with an Irish Oaks entry. Ob La Di isn't out of it either.

Aidan O'Brien looks to hold a strong hand and his well-bred Justify filly MOTHER NATURE is fancied to build on her promising debut Dundalk second and get off the mark. Stablemate Grateful also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list with Ob La Di and Saol Gaelach appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

It will be a surprise if MOTHER NATURE, odds-on when touched off on debut at Dundalk, doesn't land this maiden

NIKKI SWANGO didn't have the clearest of runs when fifth on seasonal debut at Naas and Natalia Lupini's filly can strike here on her second run in handicap company. The daughter of Galileo Gold has shown her best form over 6f but has enough early speed to cope with this drop back to the minimum distance, and Wayne Lordan has a good record for the stable. Kendall Roy's bid for a four-timer failed at Cork, but he had Alpha Cephei a place behind when finishing runner-up and is likely to be on the premises again. Majestic Beauty has good form in stakes company and has to be respected on handicap debut, as does Navan maiden winner Air Force One.

AIR FORCE ONE, an expensive yearling, took a marked step forward to make a winning debut for this stable in a first-time visor at Navan and he's open to further improvement, so he gets the nod ahead of Kendall Roy, who found only one too good at Cork recently. Goal Exceeded is another big player if he can get back on track.

Her maiden win was over 6f but she has the pace for this trip and NIKKI SWANGO shaped well on her return to action at Naas

DAME RAPIDE is a dual C&D winner and is only 3lb higher than when winning an 18-runner handicap at this venue just over a year ago. After a winter break, James Barrett gave her a spin over hurdles a few weeks ago, which should have set her up nicely for this valuable contest, and the seven-year-old will relish the quick ground. Saturn was beaten only a length in a premier handicap here last month and now steps up in trip by half a mile. He's lightly raced and open to more improvement. Fairytale Princess is up 11lb for a C&D victory at the Guineas meeting and will find life tougher in this grade.

SATURN ran well in defeat when bidding for the hat-trick here 11 days ago and this regally-bred sort remains of strong interest stepping up in trip. Reina Del Mar made a positive start for this yard when fourth at Leopardstown so rates the main threat ahead of Fairytale Princess, who won in good style over C&D recently.

A dual course and distance winner, DAME RAPIDE is only 3lb higher than when gaining her most recent victory here just over a year ago

Never worse than third, and runner-up in her last three starts, OJW LEGACY can gain reward for her consistency. The daughter of Kodiac has finished in front of Beatrix Power on her last two appearances, including in a C&D contest on Guineas weekend, and can confirm the form. Sir Sagacious was fancied when second over 7f at Dundalk, with the winner now rated 100 after finishing fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. That is an eyecatching line of form and Willie Browne's gelding must have a good chance if he's fully primed after four months off. Gaenari and Four Blondes share the same rating, but the former has let down favourite-backers the last twice and the latter hasn't run since October.

The market can prove a good guide but OJW LEGACY rates the form pick on her recent second here so is taken to gain a deserved first success. Beatrix Power came in a couple of places behind her there and looks the main danger, although Ger Lyons' newcomer Yefimenko and Dundalk runner-up Sir Sagacious both need factoring in too.

This could provide a change of fortune for OJW LEGACY who has been beaten under one length on all three starts this season

SATURN SEVEN holds leading claims on just her third start for new connections. A two-time winner last season, including over 5f here, she proved her stamina when successful at Limerick over 7f. Following a promising run last time in a much higher grade, the daughter of Sioux Nation should be hard to beat under Shane Foley. Inishmot Prince is undoubtedly a better horse on the all weather but the Tom McCourt-trained six-year-old, who is handicapped accordingly on turf, shaped much better when fourth at Navan last time. He will surely find his level at some point on grass this season. Run Forrest Run tends to reserve his best for this venue, so has to be respected for Micky Fenton.

ICE COLD IN ALEX is handicapped to win, shaped well on his reappearance, and has an excellent record at the track, so he gets the marginal vote in a wide-open handicap. Bold Optimist and Rathbranchurch are two of the biggest dangers.

Ken Condon's stalwart ICE COLD IN ALEX ran well on his reappearance and there might just be one more day in him; fast ground will suit

Having been short of room over two furlongs out at Naas last time, BARLEY COVE finished strongly up the stiff hill to claim third spot. Faced with an additional half-furlong here, the Wayne Lordan-ridden three-year-old should be keeping on late. Sean Davis has gone agonisingly close to opening his account in the training ranks in recent weeks. Layoftheland, a filly who has twice just been denied during that period, holds every chance once again under champion jockey Colin Keane. The Jessica Harrington-trained Dark Viper is another who has hinted that his turn is near, having hit the crossbar on recent outings.

SHE'S SMART bounced back from a quiet spell when successful at Down Royal on Friday and with this step back up in trip sure to suit, she may well be up to defying a penalty. Layoftheland and Byzantine Express are a couple of live threats.

Considering it was her first run of the season BYZANTINE EMPRESS did well at Cork and may reverse form with The Bear Trap
