THOR'S HAMMER is the most experienced of these and may put that know-how to good use. His C&D second to Bremen last summer reads well, with that colt now rated 100, and there wasn't much wrong with his return to action at Gowran where he chased home a promising colt of Paddy Twomey's. Ben Coen's mount handles soft ground. Master Of The Hunt is rated 4lb higher than the selection after some fair efforts over 7f last term. Disappointing on his comeback at the Curragh, he now tries a mile for the first time. Jessica Harrington has really hit form in recent days and Heliogabalus, much improved on his second start when only beaten a length at Dundalk, can't be discounted.

MASTER OF THE HUNT sets the standard on the pick of his 2-y-o form and can bounce back now up in trip. Thor's Hammer is next best on form, while Heliogabalus is open to improvement still, and also interesting.

Preference is for THOR'S HAMMER, second over C&D last year and also second to a decent type on his recent return at Gowran

Connections of ALPHERATZ will welcome any of the forecast rain that arrives as the Phoenix Of Spain filly is very effective on soft ground. Her form is rock-solid and she almost won a Group 3 on her reappearance at the Curragh. Seven furlongs may have been a bit sharp for her when fifth in another strong stakes race at Leopardstown and this trip looks ideal. Tannola has a few pounds to find on ratings and lacks a recent run. She was twice second to smart types last term before winning a soft-ground Galway maiden at cramped odds. Uluru readily won a soft-ground maiden for Kevin Coleman before running creditably in a sales race at Naas on stable debut.

Successful on the second of her 2 starts in maidens last year, ALPHERATZ has improved again this term, running creditably when fifth in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown 37 days ago, and a repeat of that level of form should see her playing a lead role. Tannola and Uluru both promise to do better as 3-y-os and rate next best.

None of the quartet can be ruled out but ALPHERATZ has the best form and if handling the ground could take some beating

This maiden is now wide-open following Uncanny's withdrawal, and it could pay to side with QUANTUM LIGHT, who was third, one place behind the aforementioned daughter of Churchill, at Navan last week. That looks the best piece of recent form on offer and connections have swapped the cheekpieces for a visor, which could help her if she's ridden prominently again. She's not going to get many better opportunities than this and can strike at the main expense of Free Flow and See Me Through.

UCANNY has the best form and is open to further improvement, so this looks an ideal chance for her to get off the mark at the third attempt. Free Flow and See Me Through should give their running but both have plenty to find with the selection.

A modest maiden with SEE ME THROUGH having as good a chance as any and first-time cheekpieces could see him go close

There's unlikely to be any quarter asked or given in this maximum-field, competitive-looking heat. As such, on the pace and out of trouble is the run style that could yield maximum dividends and, to that end, a low draw would look a prerequisite. KIKI ROBERTS breaks from a helpful berth in two and Colin Keane might make use of that starting position and go forward to take up a prominent spot. Her maiden win came over 6f and she wouldn't want the ground to deteriorate too much, but Kiki Roberts looks primed for a big performance after a pipe-opener at Dundalk last month. Joseph and Aidan O'Brien contenders Puturhandstogether and Gushing are among the others to consider.

PUTURHANDSTOGETHER caught the eye at Gowran last time and there could be a lot more to come from this lightly-raced sort, so he's the obvious choice in a race where most have something to prove. Gushing and Sobriety Blue could both up their game now handicapping.

The superbly-bred GUSHING is handicapped on slow-ground form and she be a significant improver under these conditions.

Chasing a first winner in the training ranks, the breakthrough ought to be just around the corner for Sean Davis, given that plenty of his horses have shown up well in recent times. He also rides his representative here, and VENETIAN looks worthy of an each-way play. We haven't seen the Awtaad gelding since February, and he wasn't in particularly good form then. However, the dual victor is capable at his best and can go forward from stall four to put himself in a good position as the race unfolds up the straight. Recent Gowran Park first and second Cage Rattler and Passionate will justifiably feature on many shortlists. Second in this 12 months back, Kodiac Prince has plenty going for him, despite his top-weight impost.

KODIAC PRINCE is back around his last winning mark and could be the answer to this following a decent second in a big-field Gowran handicap last week. Comfort Line also found just one too good on his latest start at Naas and he is just about second choice ahead of Passionate, who is taken to reverse recent Gowran placings with Cage Rattler on these revised terms and with this step back up to a mile a plus. Daonethatgotaway is another to consider.

Cage Rattler beat PASSIONATE (nap) last week but the latter has a pull in the weights and will appreciate this longer distance.

Nostra Casa has won three times from six starts since joining Paul Flynn, beating a subsequent winner (Bay Of Sanibel) into second when successful at Navan on his latest start. The Moyglare cast-off is sure to have plenty of supporters in this competitive heat, with fellow Navan victor Boher Road another leading hope for the in-form Jarlath Fahey yard. For a selection, the Willie Mullins-trained HIGHWIND gets the nod. No worse than third in five outings on the level in France and successful at Deauville, the Zarak bay was again victorious on his debut for current connections over flights at Punchestown in January. Highly tried since, the four-year-old will appreciate this drop in class and with Colin Keane aboard, he should go close. C&D winner Almuhit, The Banger Doyle and Dunvegan, who is better known for his exploits over fences, are others for the shortlist.

ALMUHIT is still on a good mark and shaped well on reappearance with an eye on this step up in trip, so he takes preference over Highwind, who is having his first Flat outing for Willie Mullins. Boher Road is another one to consider.

Plenty of these can be given chances but NEPTUNES STAIRCASE had been coming along nicely until an excusable failure last time.

With race fitness on his side, BUNTING appears the safest option. The French import has a similar profile to stable companion Highwind, the selection in the previous contest. A winner on debut at Fontainebleau last year, the Tony Bloom-owned four-year-old followed up on his first start over flights at Limerick. Tried at the highest level in three outings since, he reverts to the level now and should appreciate this drop in class. The 106-rated Uxmal is the danger. The five-year-old won on his fifth start at Tramore in September and is clearly going in the right direction after he was since beaten by just a neck in Listed company at Saint-Cloud. Six-time winner Dads Lad and Enjoy The Dream, who won a Grade 2 over flights, are both returning from over a year off and are likely to need the run.

UXMAL found only one too good in listed company in France on his final outing last season and he probably won't need to improve to go one better back down in grade. Stablemates Bunting and Dads Lad both have the scope to improved based on jumps form, so they're both feasible threats.

Uxmal has the best Flat form but with race-fitness on his side a chance is taken with BUNTING. He impressed in his only Flat race.
