CORDOUAN comes out best here on official ratings and gets the vote. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding last won on the beach at Laytown in 2022 but put in a number of fine efforts last year, including when fourth in the valuable 1m1f Nasrullah Handicap at Leopardstown and should benefit from his reappearance over seven furlongs at Dundalk last Friday. The selection's former stablemate Spanish Tenor likes to force the pace but needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Naas last month, while others to consider include Mindthegap and Rick Dalton. The latter has been a frustrating sort to follow and now reappears after an eight-month break.

A low-key start to proceedings but CORDOUAN was well backed on return at Dundalk last week and although he disappointed, he's fancied to snap a long losing run back on turf at the expense of Spanish Tenor, who was below form on his yard debut but should make more of an impact back in this company. Dynamic Force can edge out Rick Dalton for third.

The 7f trip was probably too sharp for CORDOUAN at Dundalk last week and he could be hard to beat if he has recovered sufficiently

GREEN TRIANGLE was placed on his opening two starts before being backed as if defeat was out of the question when scoring in no uncertain manner at Roscommon earlier this month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt easily beat newcomer J'adore Chris by over four lengths and can follow up, although it's interesting to note that Dylan Browne McMonagle now rides stablemate Cap Saint Martin. Lady O made a winning debut at Roscommon and may have compromised her chance when subsequently getting upset in the stalls at Tipperary, while Ja'marr also showed promise on debut at the Curragh. Lambourn, by Australia and out of a juvenile winner, is of obvious interest from Ballydoyle.

GREEN TRIANGLE got off the mark in impressive fashion at Roscommon and should have enough to defy a penalty unless the well-bred Lambourn has enough know-how to challenge him on debut. Lady O and J'Adore Chris could also make the selection think if they were able to find some improvement.

It may pay to side with the experienced GREEN TRIANGLE who beat J'Adore Chris convincingly at Roscommon

THEQUIETMAN made a pleasing debut on testing ground at Leopardstown back in April when runner-up to Ecureuil Secret, who is now rated 100. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding, who cost 235,000gns at the Newmarket Breeze Up Sale last year, has not been seen since but given normal improvement should be difficult to beat. Monasterboice has been a model of consistency this year and made the frame for the fourth time when third to Four Blondes at Fairyhouse last week. John Steinbeck has a superb pedigree but wasn't too strong in the market before taken out of that Fairyhouse maiden due to the going.

THEQUIETMAN shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in a well-run maiden at Leopardstown on his debut in April and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards, though strong market support for choicely-bred newcomer John Steinbeck would put a slightly different slant on matters. Monasterboice is fully exposed but should give another good account.

It is slightly concerning that THEQUIETMAN has not run since his debut second at Leopardstown in April but the form looks solid

SAKTI showed plenty of promise when placed twice in Stakes races last year including when runner-up to Vespertilio in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh, and landed short odds in a Dundalk maiden this spring. The daughter of Caravaggio probably has more scope for improvement than her rivals and gets the vote over Greenfinch. The Justify half-sister to the speedy U S Navy Flag has been tried over a variety of trips and had Fleur De Chine two lengths behind when placed in the 1m2f Oaks Trial at Naas last time. Adelaise carries a 3lb penalty for a Listed win at Kempton but has since finished in mid-division in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot.

SAKTI was placed twice in Group company as a juvenile and can land this listed prize for the Ger Lyons/Colin Keane combination. The chief threat may come from fellow 3-y-os Greenfinch, who was third in a listed race last time, and Jessie Harrington's Fleur de Chine.

Gowran Classic winner FLEUR DE CHINE should be more at home over the mile than the 1m2f at Naas and should go a lot closer here

THE WORLD'S ASTAGE was an eyecatcher at Bellewstown last time and Colin Keane takes the mount now. The Rajj filly was left with plenty to do then, when a few lengths out the back at the top of the hill, and ran on strongly in the closing stages to finish third to The Bog Bank. She remains on the same mark of 52. Hokusai was a cosy winner at Leopardstown six days ago and has to be respected under a 7lb penalty. He hasn't fared well with the draw, though. The Blue Panther won on his first outing for Jenny Lynch at Listowel last month and is another who has to come into calculations.

GLENCULLEN hinted at a revival when third at Fairyhouse for his new yard so looks the way to go here off a lenient mark. C&D scorer Skontonovski could emerge as the chief threat on the back of his recent Fairyhouse victory with in-form trio Perfect Curves, The World's Astage and On Our Radar also worthy of respect in this very open handicap.

Having slumped to a career-low mark THE BLUE PANTHER was a front-running winner on his stable/seasonal debut and may score again
Class & Speed Card

STATUS GREEN ran a solid race at Ballinrobe last time when meeting some traffic problems and looks capable of landing another race off his current mark. The Le Havre gelding had scored at Tipperary previously and had also been runner-up over a shorter trip here in mid-May. Thefullbackline has run well on his last couple of outings and is just 1lb higher than when third at Bellewstown recently. He has to be on the shortlist. Barrogstown Girl won on her handicap debut at Limerick 10 days ago and is still relatively unexposed. She went up 5lb for that success and should be competitive again.

STATUS GREEN has been in good form since the headgear went on, shaping better than the bare result when third at Ballinrobe 23 days ago. He earns the vote to confirm his revised mark a workable one back down in trip. Limerick-scorer Barrogstown Girl is easily one of the least exposed and is feared along with Forlio. Thefullbackline is also respected.

The one to beat is likely to be BARROGSTOWN GIRL, a winner at Limerick last time over the trip and has not been harshly penalised

Seamie Heffernan takes the mount on JUST ANOTHER EAGLE and she looks capable of landing one of these. The Free Eagle filly has been knocking on the door and ran a decent race when fourth at Limerick last time. She was keen early on then and didn't finish off her race. If she settles a bit better, she has enough ability to strike off the basement mark. Ifitwasme comes here in winning form after his victory at Tipperary a fortnight ago, and has to be respected off a 7lb higher mark. The veteran No Trouble ran well when runner-up at Bellewstown and also comes into the mix.

IFITWASME was well on top at the finish when opening his account at Tipperary a fortnight ago and may be able to follow up. No Trouble and Elsa's Pride can also make their presence felt.

Preference is for ELSA'S PRIDE, a consistent performer at around this mark and is 8lb better off with Ifitwasme from Tipperary
Class & Speed Card

BYNX might be worth a shot here on her return to the Flat. The Vadamos mare has won a couple of hurdles since last seen on the level back in May 2022. She has been eased 6lb since that last outing on the Flat and could be nicely treated in a moderate contest on her return to action. Calmafterthestorm sprang a 33/1 shock last time on his handicap debut. The four-year-old is unexposed and might benefit from going up in trip again here. Final Orders is a decent sort over fences and is another who could run well tried back on the level now.

This could be a strong race for the grade with CHUTZPAL fancied to step up on his stable debut with blinkers back on and cash in on this very workable mark. Young Lucy has been pulled out of a couple of engagements of late but a market check is essential given connections, with Final Orders likely to give it a good go back on the level.

It could be hard to oppose FINAL ORDERS(nap), not seen on the level since winning at Bellewstown last year and 9lb higher now

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
