ASCENDENT showed a likeable attitude when leading home eight rivals in a barrier trial at Naas last month and she could be up to winning this on her official debut. Owned and bred by Gigginstown House Stud, the Invincible Spirit bay is closely related to some smart French performers. The Caribbean is given second preference, despite failing to make an impact on his first start at York. A half-brother to 2013 Phoenix Stakes winner Sudirman, he should come on plenty for that debut effort. Duplantis and Imperial Magic represent Ger Lyons and Jessica Harrington respectively and they both warrant respect, while the twice-raced Prince X J is another that with claims.

It will look significant if IMPERIAL MAGIC is strong in the betting. Indeed, the Showcasing colt fetched €200,000 when resold as a yearling and an entry in the Group 2 Railway Stakes suggests that he's be showing the right signs at home. The Caribbean can be expected to build on his debut effort at York and he is feared most ahead of newcomers Duplantis and Ascendent.

There's every reason to believe that THE CARIBBEAN can leave the form of his York debut behind and progress to better things.

On ratings, My Eyes Adore You is the one to beat. The Profitable filly has just one win to her name from 13 starts, but has run some fine races in defeat, finishing second in Listed company at the Curragh last October. She was no match for Art Power in a Group 2 on her most recent start, but still finished a respectable fifth and had some smart types in behind. Gordon Bennett really turned a corner in the second half of last season, winning three of his four starts from July to September. Returning to action now, he could very well go in again. For a selection, it might be worth siding with OSTRAKA. Closely related to sprinting legend Osterhase, she impressed when winning on debut at the Curragh and it'll be interesting to see if she can back up that performance. Tango Flare and Queen Maedbh also warrant respect, while Vikki Wall looks out of her depth.

QUEEN MAEDBH is the pick at the weights and she makes plenty of appeal having finished a solid third in a competitive handicap at the Curragh recently. Next on the list is Ostraka, who readily belied her 50/1 SP when landing a maiden at the aforementioned course a fortnight ago and she is open to improvement. Gordon Bennett enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign and will also be a threat if ready to roll back from an 8-month break.

With progress likely from her striking winning debut at the Curragh two weeks ago, OSTRAKA can win again in this stronger company.

WARRIOR BRAVE and Secret Road appear the ones to focus on here, with both impressing within the last eight days. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained former landed a gamble at Listowel on Saturday and went up 10lb as a result. After finishing eighth at Naas on his penultimate start, Dylan Browne McMonagle advised O'Sullivan to run the selection on a track with a bend, to 'keep his mind occupied.' That theory was proved correct at Listowel and with another bend to negotiate here, he may just follow up. Secret Road was slow about getting to the start over the course and distance last week, but certainly wasn't wasting anytime coming home, as he blitzed his rivals by seven lengths. Up 15lb for that win, he still looks well treated on a mark of 73 and will be well fancied to go in again. Fourth and fifth 12 months ago, Dream Today and Ampeson warrant respect, while Hypernova might be able to make an impact in first-time blinkers.

The majority of these arrive here out of form but SECRET ROAD and Warrior Brave, easy winners over C&D and at Listowel respectively last week, are glaring exceptions. The former has inevitably been hammered by the handicapper for his 7-length success but he is appealing all the same. Master Matt would be a threat if back to something like his best, while an on-song Dream Today would also be in with a real shout.

Preference is for last week's Listowel winner WARRIOR BRAVE (nap) as he is still 10lb below his career-high mark.

With his rider claiming a valuable 10lb, PARADISE PERFECT might be able to make the breakthrough. He came home strongly over 6f here last Thursday and the step up in trip to 7f should prove ideal for the American bred colt. Rated just 1lb below the selection, The Franchise is given second preference. The Joseph O'Brien-trained bay was a solid fourth on his return to action at the Curragh last month and should go even closer now, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Ger Lyons saddles two of the 15 declared, with Colin Keane opting to partner Banana Three. Third on debut at Dundalk in April, he was disappointing when 11th of 20 on his second start at Leopardstown. Hero Blues is the other Lyons contender, with Gary Carroll aboard this Saxon Warrior gelding. Fourth in a stronger contest at Leopardstown on his most recent start, he should be able to make an impact here. A brother to dual winner Aristovic, newcomer Capernoity warrants respect.

A case of quantity over quality with THE FRANCHISE selected to open his account with cheekpieces applied having shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off at the Curragh a fortnight ago. Paradise Perfect took another step forward when runner-up over 6f here last week so he may emerge as the main threat stepping back up in trip, with Ger Lyons' pair Banana Three and Hero Blues another couple to consider.

Though his draw is wider than ideal, THE FRANCHISE should have improved enough from his Curragh comeback run to score.

Bought for 250,000 pounds as a yearling and out of a sister to 2015 Coronation Cup winner Pether's Moon, ST VINCENTS GARDEN gets the nod. He made late progress to finish third on debut at Leopardstown last month and was then tried in Listed company at Navan. While he finished last of six there, he was little over two and a quarter lengths off the winner. Back in calmer waters now and encountering quick ground for the first time, the son of Camelot looks the one to beat. Joseph O'Brien trains the selection and is also represented by Ikigai Star and Sullivan Bay, who will both need to improve if they are to feature. Johnny Murtagh is double handed with Esquiline and newcomer Queen Lioness, with stable jockey Ben Coen aboard the former. Well supported on her most recent start at the Curragh, the French bred filly ran well to finish second and should be suited by this step up in trip. Votre Homme also filled the runner-up spot at Sligo last month and he has definite claims in first time cheekpieces. A solid fourth on debut at Navan, Van Demon is another leading hope.

ST VINCENTS GARDEN wasn't beaten far upped to listed level on just his second outing at Navan last month so, back in maiden company, Joseph O'Brien's colt is fancied to open his account. Esquiline took a big step forward 8 months on from her debut when runner-up at the Curragh recently and she may emerge as the main danger as her stamina is drawn out further. Van Demon and newcomer Queen Lioness can fight out third spot.

St Vincents Garden looks a nice prospect but ESQUILINE chased home a talented filly at the Curragh and she's preferred.

This looks a good opportunity for BLAZING SUNSET to double his tally. A solid fourth of seven on his sole start as a juvenile in a good quality Killarney contest, he made the breakthrough on his return to action at Sligo last month, comfortably accounting for 10 rivals. Stepping up in trip now to a 1m 4f, he has to contend with top weight on what will be his handicap debut. Dubawi Spectre has really been knocking on the door of late and is another being upped in trip. Beaten by less than a length on his three most recent starts, the Jessica Harrington-trained bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. A Moment Like This is out of Stellar Wind, a six-time winner at the highest level in the US. A close fourth at Dundalk on her latest outing, it'll be interesting to see how she fares in first-time blinkers.

BLAZING SUNSET confirmed his debut promise when getting off the mark on return at Sligo last month and, with better to come upped further in distance, Dermot Weld's charge gets the nod to make a winning handicap debut. Dubawi Spectre has plenty of experience on his side, so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of sole filly in the line-up A Moment Like This.

There should be more to come from BLAZING SUNSET and he can confirm form with Giselles Defence from last time.

A competitive affair to round off proceedings, with MISS UPBEAT the suggestion. She ran well to finish fourth in first time cheekpieces at Tipperary last week and might be able to go a few places better now. Celtic Revival just gets in here after being dropped 2lb for his latest effort at Gowran. Successful three times at Dundalk from January to March, the chestnut gelding is a leading contender with James Ryan claiming a valuable 7lb. Conor Stone-Walsh also claims 7lb aboard Scalor, who was placed three times on the level last season. The versatile Liz Doyle-trained eight-year-old unseated early at Kilbeggan on Sunday last and looks capable of making his presence felt here. A son of Frankel and a brother to Listed winner Franconia, Winterscape is of definite interest in first time cheekpieces, while Not Just Any Eagle and Romann are others for the shortlist.

MISS UPBEAT is less exposed than most and took a small step forward when fourth in a big field Tipperary handicap on her latest start 10 days ago. She could well be up to building on that equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Scalor, back from a stint chasing, and Celtic Revival head up the dangers.

An open finale. First choice is MISS UPBEAT who seems to be finding her level after finishing closer again at Tipperary.
