Riding arrangements suggest BUTTERFLY WINGS is preferred of Aidan O'Brien's three runners. The daughter of Justify showed promise on both outings over a mile last year and may progress further over this longer trip. Takemetothemoon also has plenty to recommend on her two runs as a juvenile and shouldn't be lightly discounted, while Tswalu didn't enjoy a clear passage on debut at Cork and is bound to progress from the experience. Catalina Delcarpio (by Lope De Vega) cost 400,000 guineas as a yearling, while Etawa is another interesting newcomer by Kingman with plenty of stamina on the dam side.

A likely informative maiden in which BUTTERFLY WINGS gets a tentative vote over the debutantes Etawa and Catalina Delcarpio

GAME POINT was putting in his best work at the finish on both outings last year and should appreciate this step up in trip. The Ger Lyons-trained colt beat all bar Kibris in a 27-runner maiden at the Curagh and just gets the vote over Kilcrea Rock. The son of Wootton Bassett has a similar profile and the form of his second to Serious Contender here over a mile has already been advertised this season. Aidan O'Brien has three newcomers with Ryan Moore partnering Stay True, while Lombardi Trophy is another that appeals on pedigree also being from the last crop of super stallion Galileo.

Previous experience could give GAME POINT an edge here over newcomers Stay True and Lombardi Trophy

ARD NA MARA won a 1m1f Punchestown maiden last autumn and was again prominent throughout when making the frame on her latest start over C&D. The selection only weakened in the closing stages on testing ground and may be better suited by this sounder surface. Ozark Daze, Pepper Noir and Sacred Oath all ran well on the Polytrack over the winter, while it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in favour of Instant Appeal after a lengthy absence.

Competitive, with a chance taken on EXPOUND who was only caught late here last week and he's going to relish stepping back up in trip

SOME PERFORMANCE showed plenty of promise on both outings last year notably when a close fourth at the Curragh behind Expanded. That form looks very strong in the context of this race as the winner was only beaten a neck seven days later in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket. No Such Thing made a promising debut when runner-up to Orchidaceae in a 21-runner Curragh maiden and again advertised his claims when placed behind the odds-on Currawood over 7f at Dundalk last month. Desmond Castle is not the most consistent of performers but has claims on his second to Montpellier Green in a 7f Curragh nursery.

With the benefit of a recent run on the AW, NO SUCH THING (nap) could now have the edge on Some Performance and Desmond Castle

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

MUTASARREF has proved a great servant to connections with ten career wins and is very effective at this venue scoring four times. The selection had Lord Massusus back in third when taking the Group 3 Desmond Stakes over C&D last August and was also successful on his latest start over a mile at Cork. Uluru showed smart placed form last year including when only beaten a length in the Sandringham Stakes over this trip at Royal Ascot and is well treated by the conditions, while This Songisforyou also boasts high level handicap form having landed the 'Northfields' at the Curragh last autumn. Bluedrum was second to Jancis in a Group 3 over 7f here last summer and has scope for further improvement.

A dual Group 3 winner here last season, MUTASARREF can concede the weight to Uluru

COMFORT LINE won three times on turf for Mick Mulvany before recording a further six wins over the past 18 months at Dundalk for current connections. The selection has been a model of consistency this year and had Imperial Fighter back in fifth when successful last time over this trip on the Polytrack. The Bear Trap and Moyassr are others for the shortlist having also won at Dundalk last time, while Enchanted Garden scored in good style over C&D last summer and reportedly scoped badly when disappointing on her only subsequent start. Pier Pressure and Morning Approach are others to consider.

This can go the way of in form COMFORT LINE who deservedly got his head back in front on AW last time and he's still feasibly treated

BROWNED OFF was given a lowly rating after three modest maiden runs at Dundalk but showed definite promise on her handicap debut here over a mile. The Paul Flynn-trained filly only weakened inside the final furlong when beaten just over four lengths and should be suited by this shorter trip. Are You In Or Out filled the runner-up spot twice last year including on her penultimate start when beating all bar Genuine Jim in a 24-runner handicap over this trip at the Curragh. Half Nutz likes to come from off the pace and is seeking a seventh career win on his first start for Chris Timmons.

This contest lacks depth and HASTILY could be the one to take advantage after a narrow defeat over 5f and she should go well back at 7f

HIGHER KINGDOM has gained all six career wins on the all-weather including four at Dundalk for John McConnell. The Kingman gelding has given trouble in the stalls this year but gave encouragement when staying on into fourth behind Top Of The Pops at Gowran last week. Si Senor won a Sligo maiden as a juvenile and has dropped down to a competitive mark as evidenced by his close fourth over a mile here last time. Slieve Bearnagh was a fun dual-purpose gelding for Mick Halford and added two hurdle wins last summer to three previous victories on the Flat, while Harbanaker is another to consider on his staying on fourth behind Flier at Dundalk last month.

This may be a good opportunity for HIGHER KINGDOM to open his account on turf after a return to form at Gowran last week

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.

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.
