AZAZAT made a pleasing debut when second over 7f on testing ground in the Curragh at October and could go one better. Being by Camelot out of a Sea The Stars mare, she should enjoy the step up in trip. She holds an entry in the Irish Oaks. Aidan O'Brien runs three, all with big-race entries. Ryan Moore is on Boogie Woogie who is the most experienced horse in the field with two placings from her three outings. She will handle the ground. Savethelastdance could improve from her opening fifth at Thurles in October. She had subsequent winners in front of her. All Time Great is a regally-bred newcomer by Justify out of a Group 1 winner. She is likely to have a bright future ahead of her, but may not want the ground to be too deep. Star Galaxy is likely to improve on her second start.

AZAZAT displayed plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a Curragh maiden (7f) back in the autumn and, with progress anticipated in line with the longer trip, she gets the nod to make a winning return. Boogie Woogie was another who showed plenty of ability at 2 yrs and she's feared, with newcomer All Time Great and Star Galaxy completing the shortlist.

The one to beat is AZAZAT who ran a really nice race on debut at the Curragh last autumn when touched off by a decent filly

The 87-rated WALSINGHAM has each-way claims. Although vulnerable to a decent newcomer, the form of his fourth in a big field on heavy ground over 1m at Naas in November has been well franked. Harsh has posted two solid efforts on slow ground. He stayed on for fourth over an extended 1m at Galway in September and improved upon that when getting to within half a length of the winner in second at the Curragh the next month. Again, Aidan O'Brien fields three horses including debutant The Black Tiger who is by Justify and has Ryan Moore up. The Prairie was noted keeping on well for fourth on debut at Killarney towards the end of last season. The ground was testing that day, so the experience will stand to him. Dubawi Delight is by Dubawi out of a multiple Group 1 winner and made 425,000 guineas at Tattersalls. A market check is imperative.

HARSH sets a good standard and may do better still, so he's a straightforward choice despite the presence of an interesting newcomer in the shape of The Black Tiger. The Prairie is open to improvement, so he also merits strong consideration.

Moore is on the newcomer The Black Tiger which is significant but DUKE CADOR ran well on soft ground in a good maiden at Gowran

There should be races to be won with BRAZIL on the Flat off a mark of 83. There's no doubt he disappointed when beaten in a match race for a Grade 2 hurdle at Limerick over Christmas but, prior to that, his form had been rock solid and featured Grade 3 victories in Naas and Cheltenham. He will be very much at home on this ground. He won over a mile on deep ground at the Curragh during his juvenile campaign. New Hill was only caught on the line over this trip at Naas in November. The handicapper didn't miss that effort, but she is a contender on her return. Cristal Clere was eye-catching in powering three and three-quarter lengths clear over a mile at this track on Sunday, but it was a race where the pace collapsed. Smooth Tom is another with a chance while first-reserve Purple Gown has started this season well and could enter the equation if getting a run.

CRISTAL CLERE is turned out quickly after winning in good style here 3 days ago and can follow up. Brazil and Dalvey rate the principal dangers.

Sunday's 1m winner Cristal Cleere has good claims but there should be more to come from SMOOTH TOM this year and heavy ground is ok

Everything looks in place for a big run from HOMELESS SONGS. Dermot Weld's star filly was impressive in slamming the Irish 1,000 Guineas field at the Curragh last May. Afterwards, she was minded from fast ground before finishing fourth in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September and then she disappointed in a Group 1 at Newmarket in October. It is worth noting that she wasn't at her best in the previous autumn as well. This could be more her time of year and she is well clear of her rivals on official ratings. In addition, she has won on seasonal debut before. Buckaroo has plenty of class and finished sixth in last season's Irish 2,000 Guineas. He has run well fresh before. Mea Domina is the dark horse. She has joined Paddy Twomey after winning twice in her native France including in Listed class when last seen in October. She is proven on heavy ground. Power Under Me is up in class, but showed a real aptitude for 1m in Listed class over C&D in October. He will love the ground.

Having looked destined for the very top, HOMELESS SONGS failed to finish her race off both starts in the autumn having missed the summer. She's in top hands though and this is a huge drop in class so she can hopefully get her career back on track. Power Under Me won on last season's reappearance at this level and rates the pick of the opposition.

There is no doubt on the ground about SALTONSTALL who carried last season's form through to an agonising defeat in the Lincoln

FARNBOROUGH is one of two Aidan O'Brien representatives and looks to have solid claims. He was beaten half a length into second in a 7f maiden at Dundalk in November, and the horse two and a-half lengths behind him in third has been good enough to easily win a Curragh maiden last month. Fleetfoot was placed in all three starts, on better ground, in his juvenile campaign. His third at the Curragh behind a subsequent Group 1 winner is strong form. O'Brien's Canute gets blinkers after a debut fourth on fast ground at the Curragh last summer. He's superbly bred by US sire Quality Road out of a top-class mare, but deep ground may not see him at his absolute best. Ger Lyons introduces a pair of newcomers and Colin Keane takes the ride on Tipsy Scholars.

FLEETFOOT sets a solid standard and narrowly shades the vote over Aidan O'Brien's pair Farnborough and Canute, who both have potential.

The standard is set by FLEETFOOT on his three summer maiden runs last year and he is the one to beat if he handles the ground

SUPERIOR FORCE is match fit from a placed effort at the Curragh last month and blinkers are applied. He attracted plenty of support that day and was beaten just over two and a-half lengths into fourth. The runner-up boosted the form with a victory at this track. All Lies Ahead has to rate a serious danger. She won her maiden on ground with plenty of cut in it at Killarney in May and then finished second on handicap debut (in a much higher grade) at Gowran Park when last seen in June. Cavallo Pazzo is a handicap debutant, up in trip, with a fair chance. He showed a real fondness for heavy ground last season in finishing second at Navan and then in winning his maiden at Naas. Yudish Geerdharry's 10lb claim has Loingseoir on an appealing mark. The handicapper has given Zephron a chance.

ALL LIES AHEAD is very lightly raced for a 5-y-o and there's every chance she can improve again this year. Her mark looks attractive so she's the way to go, for all Cavallo Pazzo has been crying out for 7f. Hightimeyouwon completes the shortlist.

A potential long shot that appeals is MAJESTIC COLT from a stable bang in form. He is down to a very workable mark and likes an ease
Class & Speed Card

REVERBERATION has an each-way chance from a wide draw. There is no doubt that he needs things to fall his way, but it is also fair to say that he is going pop up one of these days. He kept on without threatening in seventh at the Curragh last month and had been running very consistently between December and February at Dundalk. He is down to a mark of 49. Pulse Of Shanghai ran well for a long way off the front in Navan before dropping to third. He is another with a tough draw to overcome. Born Invincible is of interest on her first start for Shane Duffy after moving from Ger O'Leary. The negative is that she has tended to need her first run back off a significant break. Reserve Pallasmore Lass would be a major player if getting into the field. She is on a very handy mark.

PULSE OF SHANGHAI is on an appealing mark and arrives in good order, so he's worth siding with in a race where the majority have something to prove. Leclerc looks a danger and Sadiqaa is one to note starting out for a new yard.

A chance is taken with LISAMARIA who showed promise on handicap bow last year and Wayne Lordan is an interesting booking

BRINGSTY has the ability to win this on his second start for James McAuley. He kept on to get up for fourth on his last start in Dundalk and, before that, he wasn't beaten far in two races on the Polytrack in Dundalk for Pat Downey. Crucially, he won on soft ground during his career in Britain. Gudrun Genberg is one that could show up well at a price. She has to bounce back from a below-par run at Killarney in October, however, that run may have come too quickly after her runner-up spot at Navan five days earlier. Neverfindanother U has been in good form on the Polytrack, but previous efforts on testing ground haven't gone to plan. Shona Mea and Nevada Brave are others to scrutinise.

A tentative vote goes to WAYNE R WALKER, who shaped as if better for the run on his return at the Curragh 11 days ago and is operating from a career-low mark. Nevada Brave and Neverfindanother U are a couple of potential threats in an open race.

By soft ground influence Dragon Pulse, Dundalk winner NEVERFINDANOTHER U may be able to transfer that form to a testing turf surface
