SHACKLETON can make it third-time lucky. The Camelot colt has finished runner-up on both outings. He was turned over at a short price at Tipperary but the front two pulled well clear and he can step forward now to open his account. Deetee shaped nicely when fifth in a decent maiden here on his debut last month and he could be a danger. The Masar colt was staying on behind Acapulco Bay and with the benefit of that run under his belt, he can go well. Joseph O'Brien runs two newcomers and Kilcrea Rock would appear the pick of them on jockey bookings.

SHACKLETON still looked a work-in-progress when failing to land the odds at Tipperary a month ago but it was by no means a bad effort and he's fancied to get it right this time. Sujet's pedigree strongly suggests he'll show more this time so he's a threat, along with newcomer Medallion, a stablemate of the selection.

Shackleton sets a decent standard but is opposed by SUJET, who shaped nicely on debut in a strong Killarney maiden

STORM PIECE has bumped into a couple of useful sorts and can get his turn now. He looked set to collect at Punchestown recently before Genealogy picked up late to trump him close home. He had lost out by half a length to Officer in a decent contest over course and distance first time up and can gain a deserved success. The danger looks to be Aftermath, who has also performed well on both starts and is the Ballydoyle main hope with Ryan Moore on board. The Quality Road newcomer Saints N Scholars wears blinkers and the market may prove the best guide to his chances.

Highly tried on his second start, AFTERMATH took a big step forward when third in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Storm Piece has also made a promising start to his career and could be the main danger, with Saints N Scholars the pick of the newcomers.

Third in an admittedly sub-standard Champagne Stakes makes AFTERMATH the one to beat back in maiden company

HEAVENS GATE should appreciate going another furlong here and can gain her black-type success. When she landed the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas, it was interesting to hear Aidan O'Brien say that she wanted to go seven furlongs. She performed with credit when fourth in the Lowther Stakes at York last month and looks capable of landing this. Barnavara sets the standard off a mark of 104 and is the obvious danger. She has been third behind Bedtime Story on her last couple of outings and is entitled to be a big player. English raider Alla Stella could be suited by dropping back a furlong and is place material.

HEAVENS GATE holds the edge on form so is fancied to bag a third success at the chief expense of course-winner Barnavara. Alla Stella and Merrily appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Belatedly tried over this trip, HEAVENS GATE could prove the answer, stablemate Merrily a likely danger

The rain looks like it will come in time for SPYCATCHER. Karl Burke's charge failed to make much impression in the Haydock Sprint Cup last time on good ground. He had taken a Deauville Group 3 contest in testing conditions previously and should be a big player back at this level. My Mate Alfie produced a really good performance to carry a big weight to success in the Bold Lad Handicap on Irish Champions Weekend. He is actually top-rated in this now and handles a bit of cut as well. Go Athletico has been crying out for rain and could be place material.

If MY MATE ALFIE is in the same mood as when taking a big-field C&D handicap on Irish Champions weekend he'll take plenty of stopping. Spycatcher can bounce back from his lesser run in the Sprint Cup and provide the chief threat ahead of Paddy Twomey's Super Sox.

With further easing in the ground possible, conditions should suit SPYCATCHER, back in top form at Deauville before a Group 1 bid

Due to go up 14lb following his narrow defeat in a Listowel rated race in mid-week, THE MARTY PARTY is difficult to oppose here off his old rating. Prominent throughout, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt kept on well, only being caught close home. Provided that this race doesn't come too soon, he looks a seriously well-handicapped horse. Fairyhouse claiming-race winner Moonhall Church also makes a swift return to action but travelled well throughout that contest, scoring with a bit in hand. Off the track since June, Irish Acclamation could be interesting on her return given that she shaped with promise on a couple of occasions prior to her break.

THE MARTY PARTY looks well treated after his improved second at Listowel on Wedensday and can go one better. His stablemate Montpellier Green should have more to offer now returning to 7f for his handicap debut and is feared most ahead of Moonhall Church and Mykonian Odyssey.

If none the worse for his fine effort in a rated race at Listowel THE MARTY PARTY should be able to exploit this handicap opportunity.

Galway Hurdle winner NURBURGRING can land another valuable handicap for trainer Joseph O'Brien. The four-year-old, who went up to a mark of 150 after winning that summer feature, looks nicely treated back on the level. Having caught the eye staying on late over a shorter trip at Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend, he should be primed for this assignment. The Gavin Cromwell-trained Sixandahalf is well handicapped under a 7lb penalty following her win at Newmarket last month. A former bumper winner, the filly should appreciate stepping up beyond two miles for the first time on the Flat. Despite a very wide draw, Dawn Rising has to have claims of improving on his third-placed finish from last year.

A highly competitive renewal of the Irish Cesarewitch but THE EUPHRATES looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut on the back of his excellent Irish St Leger fourth so gets the vote. Gavin Cromwell's improving filly Sixandahalf could emerge as the main danger to Aidan O'Brien's 3-y-o, although lots of others need factoring in, chiefly Nurburgring, Spasiba, Chally Chute and Dawn Rising.

The 2m4f trip found out ZANNDABAD in the Ascot Stakes. His staying-on third in the Chester Cup gives him good credentials for this

Despite being absent since making a winning debut over C&D in March, PROCRASTINATE can maintain his unbeaten record. The Paddy Twomey-trained colt travelled strongly throughout that race, readily beating two horses who have franked the form subsequently. Given that he held an entry in a Listed race at Cork next week, the three-year-old must be pleasing connections. Tokenomics, who looked a progressive gelding prior to finishing mid-division at York last time, should be competitive. He should have no issues dropping back down to 7f having raced over further of late. Elinor Dashwood will need to break on terms, but has every chance of getting involved if doing so.

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT has proven most progressive since joining the Jack Davison yard and he can follow up his recent smooth-travelling win at Navan. Tokenomics was on the upgrade until contesting a hot handicap at the Ebor meeting and can't be best judged on that performance, so rates as the biggest threat, whilst impressive maiden winner Procrastinate is very interesting after a 6-month break.

It may be worth taking a chance on PROCRASTINATE who made a good first impression here in March and is likely to be fit and ready

Although somewhat disappointing at Dundalk last time, BARD OF AVON is worth another chance on the basis of his reappearance fourth over C&D on his previous start. The winner of that latter race easily landed a premier handicap on Irish Champions Weekend, while the runner-up won her maiden next time. On the assumption that he is better suited to turf, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt gets the vote. Navan runner-up Dahab, who boasts an identical official rating to the selection, has to be respected. The Denis Hogan-trained gelding was well supported when finding just one too strong on that occasion. Newcomer John Steinbeck also has to be considered in a contest where the majority of those to have previously raced appear vulnerable.

Following a debut full of promise, THEQUIETMAN wasn't seen to best effect when odds-on to land a Galway novice last time, denied a run at a crucial time. He's well worth another chance, possibly at the main expense of Daboya and newcomrt John Steinbeck.

JOHN STEINBECK won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to make a belated winning debut
