Won in 2018 by ill-fated Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck, this maiden certainly wouldn't be out of place at the Curragh. Successful in 2021 with Piz Badile and again 12-months ago with Alder, Donnacha O'Brien is bidding for his third win in-a-row. The Bawnmore handler is represented by BREMEN, who really caught the eye on debut at Tipperary, despite proving friendless in the market. After a slow start, he finished strongly, going down by just a neck to the well-regarded Spanish Flame. Stepped up in trip to a mile now, he looks the one to beat. School Of Law is one of just four others with form. An excellent second on debut at the Curragh, he was since a bit disappointing when sixth at the Co Kildare venue. It'll come as no surprise if one of the nine newcomers prove good enough to take this. Alonzo and Navy Seal are the most interesting of them, with the former a 380,000-pound yearling purchase. He holds some big race entries and is a brother to Group 3 winner Hans Andersen. Navy Seal is a brother to dual-Group 3 winner Never Ending Story and he too holds plenty of big race entries.

BREMEN made a very promising start at Tipperary a fortnight ago and looks a banker for a maiden with improvement coming. Three of Aidan O'Brien's last 4 newcomers have won and Navy Seal demands plenty of respect on debut. Alonzo and Halberd are also interesting first time up.

Donnacha O'Brien's runner BREMEN may step up a place now having made a race of it with a previous winner on his debut at Tipperary.

Paddy Twomey looks to have found a nice opportunity for BELLA BLUE EYES to follow up on her maiden success at Leopardstown. The Edward Walsh-owned bay beat subsequent winners into second and third at the Foxrock venue, with the 101-rated Eternal Silence filling the runner-up spot. Nation's Call is the one to beat on official ratings and the son of Frankel is given second preference. A consistent sort, he finished third on his handicap debut at the Curragh on Derby weekend and it'll come as a surprise if he is not involved towards the business end here. Joe Murphy is represented by Mr Lincoln and Sea Chariot, with both capable of making an impact. In truth, none of the five here can be safely ruled out, with Starry Heavens (first time cheekpieces) completing the line-up.

There could be more to come from BELLA BLUE EYES, who got the better of next-time-out winners Eternal Silence and Gypsy Woman when opening her account in a Leopardstown maiden last month. Nation's Call sets the standard on form and dropping back to this trip looks a good move after finishing third in a competitive 9f handicap at the Curragh last time. Dermot Weld's charge is the clear main danger ahead of Sea Chariot.

It looked as if NATION'S CALL may have hit the front too soon at the Curragh last time. He has a good chance at these weights

Not many can be discounted in this competitive affair. The subject of a gamble at Naas recently, it might be worth taking a chance on ANO MANNA. Things didn't go right for the Saxon Warrior filly at the Tipper Road venue, starting slowly from a wide draw before being hampered early on. A half-sister to smart stable companion Ano Syra, she is surely capable of better than what she has shown to date. For whatever reason, Dappled Light ran no sort of race at Tipperary recently. However, he did win over the course and distance on his penultimate start and returning to Killarney now, a much-improved performance can be expected from this John Murphy-trained colt. Emorcee should be suited by the step-up in trip to a mile, and he should give a good account of himself, while other leading contenders are dual-winner Fleetfootsoldier and handicap debutant Hotaugustnight.

FLEETFOOTSOLDIER found further improvement when making a successful turf debut at Bellewstown earlier this month and is still low mileage. He can score again. Emorcee and Hotaugustnight rate the principal dangers.

There could be more to come from FLEETFOOTSOLDIER who made a pleasing transition to turf when winning at Bellewstown

JOE MASSERIA can overcome topweight with leading apprentice Robert Whearty taking off a valuable 7lb. Having run better than his finishing position suggests on his reappearance in the Irish Lincoln at the Curragh, the Noel Meade-trained gelding then got up close home to win over 7f at Cork last time. The four-year-old will appreciate stepping back up to a mile now, while he can actually race off 5lb lower here once taking the riders claim into account. Howyoulikethat ran a big race when fifth in a premier handicap at the Curragh on Derby weekend. Provided he acts on the easier ground then Hilary McLoughlin's six-year-old should make his presence felt. Fernao is totally unexposed after just the three starts so has to enter calculations on his handicap debut.

FERNAO has progressed with each run to date and, having opened his account in likeable fashion at Listowel 44 days ago, he's taken to follow up from what looks a fair opening mark. Brazil is a big danger based on hurdling form and another solid showing from Kodiac Prince is expected.

The in-form \Kodiac Prince\p could be a tough nut to crack but slight preference is for HOWYOULIKETHAT who has been edging back to form

AGHADOWEY should take plenty of beating if able to reproduce the form of her debut run. Finishing second on that occasion, she split subsequent Ribblesdale Stakes and Leopardstown Group 3 winners. With the benefit of that experience to call upon, it would be surprising if the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly can't lose her maiden status stepping up in grade. Beechwood ran well in a fair backend maiden at Naas on her only start as a juvenile and was perhaps somewhat unlucky to bump into an above average gelding when runner-up at Limerick on her return. Alalcance is another who showed ability on her first outing in public, the Jessica Harrington-trained daughter of Mastercraftsman keeping on well for second at Leopardstown last month.

AGHADOWEY displayed plenty of ability amidst obvious greenness when second starting out at Leopardstown in May and with that form well advertised since, she'll take some stopping. Alalcance and Beechwood are a couple of potential threats.

The form of the Leopardstown maiden where AGHADOWEY divided subsequent stakes winners Warm Heart and Shamida is beyond reproach

VOICE OF REASON is worth another chance despite failing to live up to expectations when well supported on his reappearance at Roscommon last month. On the basis of his sole juvenile run, when third at the Curragh, the Ger Lyons-trained gelding should be well up to winning a race of this nature. Golden Temple is well exposed at this stage but the Noel Meade-trained gelding ran his best race to date when fitted with first-time blinkers on his most recent start. If the headgear has the same effect, then he looks a strong contender on overall form. Cosmic Lady, who hails from one of the bigger yards, wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary in order to make her presence felt on racecourse debut.

This can go to VOICE OF REASON, who boasts the best form on offer and is entitled to build on last month's Roscommon return. Golden Temple and Eastmore can also make their presence felt.

A horse that kept very good company last year was GOLDEN TEMPLE(nap), and he stepped up in first-time blinkers at Fairyhouse last month

NOTTURNO has been done no favours with the draw here but the Noel Meade-trained gelding has just about the best form on offer. Prior to a disappointing effort at Limerick last time, the son of Zoffany had been a very consistent performer in similar races. Colin Keane is well adept at getting one out from a poor stall, so followers of the Meade stable will be hoping he can do likewise now. Ifitwasme kept on nicely when third at Listowel on his penultimate start and again showed promise when filling the same position at Limerick on his most recent start. The Eric McNamara-trained gelding looks good enough to win one of these. Upepo ran well at Gowran before failing to back that run up at Roscommon after. Connections will be hoping that the first-time cheekpieces work the oracle.

A huge field for this closing contest but preference is for NOTTURNO, who wasn't seen to best effect at Limerick last month and Noel Meade's charge is fancied to break his duck reunited with Colin Keane. Snowhaven was about to make her move when slipping up on the home bend at Gowran 6 weeks ago and she looks a major threat provided she's none the worse from that spill. Upepo and Ifitwasme are a couple of others worth considering.

Preference is for IFITWASME, a close third on his first try at this trip last time and will be hard to beat with a repeat
