THE PARTHENON was pitched in at the deep end on his debut and can strike in maiden company now. The son of Kingman contested the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh just over three weeks ago and was far from disgraced when finishing fifth of the seven runners. He should have learned a good bit from that experience. Green Triangle looks the obvious danger having been runner-up on his debut at Roscommon last month. The Gleneagles colt went down by half a length, with the front two pulling nicely clear. The Dermot Weld-trained newcomer Hazdann is one to note in the market. His half-brother was Group 3-placed in France.

THE PARTHENON acquitted himself very well in face of a stiff task when fifth in a Group 3 at the Curragh on debut and sets a high standard for a maiden. Green Triangle looks well up to winning one of these after his promising second at Roscommon so rates the main threat ahead of William F Browne, who also offered something to work on first time out.

Kingman colt THE PARTHENON (nap) was introduced in the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes, showing enough to suggest he can win here

MM DRAGONFLY is interesting here on her handicap debut and first outing for Paddy Twomey. The Invincible Spirit filly showed some ability in Dundalk maidens earlier in the year and catches the eye now off a lowly mark of 65. Tanazadia is another who could be nicely treated on her handicap debut. The Aga Khan-owned filly ran a solid race when fifth in a Naas maiden on her seasonal debut and a mark of 68 doesn't look harsh. Dark Viper has been knocking on the door and should appreciate stepping back up in trip having been third at the Curragh last time.

MM DRAGONFY is very interesting having switched to Paddy Twomey ahead of her handicap debut and she gets the nod, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Johnny Murtagh's Tanazadia is another who appeals as one who should have more to offer in handicaps and is second choice ahead of the more-established Dark Viper, a good third at the Curragh last week.

There are a few unexposed runners here, and it could pay to take a chance with HELP ME RHONDA who recently qualified for a mark

SLUICE has been running well in some competitive events and wouldn't be winning out of turn here. The Starspangledbanner filly was placed twice to start her campaign before finishing a close fifth at the Curragh in a race that has worked out well. Cheekpieces are tried now and any rain should help. Indigo Five ended last year with a big run to finish second at the Curragh having won at the same venue previously. She is only 2lb higher on her return and commands respect. Drop The Dip is another filly who had a good year in 2023 and will appreciate any rain.

RED HEEL signalled she's ready to end a long losing run when a good recent second at Down Royal so this C&D winner looks the way to go here. In-form Elinor Dashwood could emerge as the main danger ahead of the returning Indigo Five and course scorer Barnhill Rose.

Hard to rule any of these out. RED HEEL is now 12lb below her last winning mark and returned to form with a Down Royal second

With Amy Jo Hayes able to claim her 7lb here, PINK SOCKS is fancied to confirm course form with Engines On from 13 days ago. The in-form 7lb claimer got a good tune from the Vadamos mare when scoring over C&D, beating her rival by three-parts of a length. She gave 10lb away to Engines On and when the claims are taken into account, she concedes 4lb this time. Kodiac Prince has been knocking on the door and could go well under top weight.

PINK SOCKS looked better than ever when scoring over C&D on return and there was something to spare, so he's fancied to confirm placings with Engines On, who should also go well.

The admirable KODIAC PRINCE beat Pink Socks in a division of this 12 months ago and he returns in good order.

SINBAD MY DAD should appreciate the slight drop in trip here having only weakened late on over 1m2f in a stronger race last time. The Seamus Fahey-trained gelding had previously run well on his reappearance when fourth at Killarney. Despite having to concede weight to all but one rival, he looks up to the task. Tachos reverts to racing against her own age group having shaped well when third at Leopardstown against her elders. Adam Caffrey looks a very significant booking here for trainer Dermot Weld. Artful Approach undoubtedly has the ability to win a race of this nature when everything falls right.

PUTURHANDSTOGETHER is unexposed and caught the eye in no uncertain terms when a staying-on third at this course on handicap debut. Up in trip, there could be a chunk of improvement in him, so he's preferred to Sinbad My Dad, who shaped well at Fairyhouse recently. Tachos and La Juliana are others to consider in what appeals as a strong race for the grade.

This will be the first time beyond 1m for ARTFUL APPROACH and he may stay effectively enough to cope with these rivals

SIEGE OF TROY can get off the mark at the second time of asking having only just lost out at Naas on her racecourse debut last month. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly looked to need every yard of the mile trip on that occasion, so stepping up almost two furlongs should be in her favour. With a rating of 86, Jessica Harrington's Betula sets a fair standard to aim at. Runner-up at Down Royal last time, the daughter of Lope De Vega is stepped up significantly in trip now. Abbey Actress improved considerably on a moderate debut effort when staying on nicely to finish fifth at the Curragh on her latest start. It would be no surprise to see further progression here.

SIEGE OF TROY produced a really promising first effort when second at Naas 4 weeks ago and she's fancied to win this en route to better things. Abbey Actress left her debut run well behind when an eye-catching fifth in a decent maiden at the Curragh and is next best ahead of Betula.

A Pretty Polly entry may be highly optimistic but SIEGE OF TROY would have won in another stride or two at Naas.

C&D winner TRUSTYOURINSTINCT can make it three wins from four starts on the Flat. Successful on his first two career outings last season, the four-year-old had excuses when disappointing in Group company on his third run. Having progressed further over jumps this term, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding should be good enough to see off this opposition. Longbourn suffered a nightmare passage when fifth in a small field at Leopardstown earlier this month. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained eight-year-old can go close here granted better luck in running. Buttermere Ridge, a maiden winner at this track on his only start to date, could be open to plenty of improvement.

TRUSTYOURINSTINCT possesses much the best form on show so rates a confident choice to make a winning return to this sphere on the back of his Tramore hurdling victory. Longbourn is rated next best if, as expected, building on his Leopardstown reappearance fifth, with Narmar and Cristal Clere also in the picture for minor honours.

Last year's winner TRUSTYOURINSTINCT confirmed his recent wellbeing with a comfortable success over hurdles. Terms are favourable.
