Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand with three colts returning from mid-season breaks. There was a good word for Emperor Of Rome prior to his debut second at Dundalk, but the master trainer also spoke favourably of BATTLE FLEET and his Navan fourth behind the classy Givemethebeatboys was most encouraging. Latin finished behind Star Hunter at Leopardstown back in May but the chief threat to the Ballydoyle trio could come in the shape of Pipsy, who beat all bar the exciting King Cuan at Cork.

There was a lot to like about PIPSY's opening second at Cork 17 days ago and she can build on that and prove too strong for Aidan O'Brien pair Battle Fleet and Latin.

NO MORE PORTER started his solid season off with a fifth in the Irish Lincolnshire and he has hardly run a bad race all year, furthered by his most recent fourth at Leopardstown. The son of Elzaam is allowed to compete off the same rating and he ought to go very close. The main threat is Fernao, who took his maiden in smooth style at Listowel in June and he tries a first-time visor after a gelding operation. Half Nutz completes the shortlist.

HALF NUTZ is down to 2 Ib lower than when successful in this race last season and might prove the answer to it again having recorded a few good efforts in recent weeks. Heavenly Power will be a threat if back to the form when second in a big field over 6f here last month, while Fernao can't have been right last time and retains potential as a lightly-raced sort from an in-form yard.

Maybe the second London bus will come trundling around the corner for DAGODA after her course maiden win

Stromberg may prove popular here after strolling home on his last two starts, but this represents a significant step up in class and he will need to improve again. GROSVENOR SQUARE won his only start despite running green at Galway and, with improvement to come, the half-brother to Irish Derby winner Santiago may come out on top, while stable companions Chief Little Rock and Navy Seal are last-time-out winners too and also warrant respect.

STROMBERG has created a very good impression on his last 2 outings and is taken to deny Aidan O'Brien a remarkable 22nd win in this Group 2 contest. The presence of Frankie Dettori in the saddle on Navy Seal suggests he could be the pick of the Ballydoyle maestro's trio.

It's hard to take a firm view of the stable's riding arrangements, but NAVY SEAL edges preference over Grosvenor Square.
Class & Speed Card

SILMANIYA has finished runner-up the last twice and this looks a good opportunity to go one better on this occasion. Johnny Murtagh's charge is on 3lb better terms with The Highway Rat, who finished just half a length in front of the selection at Navan earlier in the month. The top-weight is feared most with this drop in trip likely to bring out some more improvement in the five-year-old, while the consistent Never Shout Never can improve further and go well despite a 3lb rise for his second over 6f here last time.

Another hot renewal of this premier sprint handicap, with CURRAHEEN PRINCESS selected to better last year's second and come out on top. Real Force and Never Shout Never are among the chief dangers.

Cork 5f winner NEVER SHOUT NEVER gets the vote on the strength of an excellent seconf over 6f here on Irish Champions Weekend

CHERRY BLOSSOM was an easy maiden winner over 6f here before going on to fill second place in the Group 2 Lowther at York a month ago. The daughter of No Nay Never may improve for this step up in trip and will be hard to beat if doing so. Guildenstern should not be underestimated having chased home a top-class prospect on his racecourse bow at this venue last month. My Mate Alfie edges out Do It With Style and Storm Miami to be best of the rest.

Europe's most valuable juvenile contest that looks ripe for CHERRY BLOSSOM to strike after her fine second in the Lowther. British-trained runners came to the fore last year and Mission To Moon and Havanagreattime are big players.

The extra furlong should not be a problem for the Lowther Stakes runner-up CHERRY BLOSSOM (nap), potentially a cut above these rivals

Martin Hassett rode a winner at Punchestown last week and he has another good mount in this apprentice handicap courtesy of MAGIC CHARM, who was only beaten two lengths into fourth at Naas last time despite traffic problems and racing from 7lb out of the handicap. A drop back to the trip of his only success should help and he is expected go well in first-time blinkers. However, there are no shortage of dangers, most notably recent C&D winner Brewel Hill and Partisan Hero, who can improve again following a confidence-boosting first victory. Morning Approach and Coffeemeanscoffee are others to consider.

Several to consider in this open-looking handicap. MORNING APPROACH deserves to get her head back in front and is taken to do just that on the back of another decent effort in defeat when fourth at Punchestown 10 days ago. She may have most to fear from Akmaam, who was below par in that Punchestown handicap but has performed with credit on each of his three visits here this season and is on a workable mark. Recent Gowran winner Partisan Hero also enters calculations, along with Stormy Jenn.

She'd prefer it to get drier than wetter but MORNING APPROACH, in good heart, should run a decent race in any event and gets the nod

YOSEMITE VALLEY was pitched into the Anglesey on the back of a promising debut fourth over C&D last year and proved it wasn't tilting at windmills, chasing home brilliant sprinter Little Big Bear. He was then forced to sit out 13 months, and was turned over at short odds on his Navan comeback, but the run should help bring him forward and he can get his career back on track. Vera's Secret shaped like an imminent winner on her Punchestown introduction and is the logical threat, although newcomer Never Cry Never is worth a look.

YOSEMITE VALLEY made an encouraging return from a long absence when runner-up at Navan last month and should prove a tough nut to crack here. Vera's Secret also shaped well though when a debut second at Punchestown so should ensure that Donnacha O'Brien's colt doesn't have things all his own way. Newcomer Never Cry Never catches the eye on pedigree so is worth monitoring in the betting too.

This looks like a suitable opportunity for VERA'S SECRET to step up a place following a promising debut second at Punchestown

Plenty of unknown quantities here, but it may be best to focus on the experienced runners, starting with FEATHERTOP. Twice raced, she has finished third and second so far and if she finds any further improvement, she may get off the mark. Shrewsbury Road could surprise a few after running on into fifth on his return and, with improvement likely, he can go close. Jupiter Rock and Nostringsattached are a couple more to consider.

Plenty are in with a shout. NOSTRINGSATTACHED holds the edge on form and is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success on the back of her good Ballinrobe second last time out. Jupiter Rock has progressed with each of his three runs to date and is feared most, although Shrewsbury Road, Dorset Lady and Feathertop all need factoring into this open maiden too.

Little between Feathertop and SHREWSBURY ROAD on collateral form and both are open to more improvement; the latter is preferred
