ZELESTIAL, who has a Group 2 entry, ran well behind the subsequent Marble Hill winner on debut. The runner-up in that race had form prior to it, and improvement now looks likely for Joseph O'Brien's filly, who is out of a Listed-placed mare. Blue Poppy is similarly entered for that Curragh stakes race, and is by a top sprinter and first-season sire. Her winning dam is a sibling to two Group winners, including 15-time winner Sovereign Debt. Ashwiyaa, out of a half-sister to a Group 1 winner, ran well on debut, with the winner subsequently placing, and should benefit from the run. Zona Verde was second to a smart winner on debut and while a beaten favourite at Cork last month, should be better suited by today's faster surface.

There was a lot to like about ASHWIYAA's opening third at Cork last month and she's the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Newcomer Blue Poppy is a likely type on paper and it would be no surprise were she to provide the main threat, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Joseph O'Brien's Zelestial is another who could go well.

The Cork run of ASHWIYAA was franked by the winner at Tipperary during the week and she looks the one to beat

FERRARI DESERT showed promise for her well-travelled trainer on debut. Out of a winning dam whose half-sister won at Listed level, she finished ahead of a subsequent winner on debut and could be better suited by today's sounder surface and extra furlong. Sibyl Charm is suited by this distance and surface but while race-fit, might struggle to win if the selection progresses. Nelda has an excellent pedigree, being a sister to Group 1 winner Persuasive and a half-sister to another top-level winner in Creative Force. Six of her winning siblings were capable but she debuts at a tight country track and has no big-race entries. Sweetest Rose has been running well but drops in distance and again wears blinkers. The reappearing Freedom Falls finished second at this distance as a juvenile, but that was on testing ground and she might prefer further. Es Vedra was well held on debut and runs in a first-time visor.

SIBYL CHARM stepped up on her reappearance when third at the Curragh recently and might be able to make it fourth time lucky. Sweetest Rose reacted well to blinkers last time and is feared most ahead of the reappearing Freedom Falls. Jessica Harrington newcomer Nelda would also come into it if the betting suggests she's fancied.

Several closely matched here but the drop in trip could just be what SWEETEST ROSE needs and she can get off the mark

RATHBRANCHURCH was beaten a length by Rumbled Again last month, but is now 7lb better off and remains a little unexposed. A half-brother to five winners, including one placed at Group level, he has run well in two handicaps thus far and is suited by this trip and good ground. Rumbled Again has obvious claims, but is more exposed and competes from a career-high mark. The Snapper also finished a length behind Rumbled Again, at Gowran in May, and while 9lb better off and ground-versatile, is reasonably exposed. Not Just Yet, in turn, finished ahead of The Snapper last August, but was well held on his reappearance and reverts to good ground. Anann hasn't run since February and debuts on turf, while Portreath makes his handicap debut in cheekpieces.

RUMBLED AGAIN was alwasy doing enough when scoring at Gowran recently and he's firmly on the up, so he's preferred to The Snapper, with Rathbranchurch also on the shortlist.

A rematch of a recent Gowran handicap with RUMBLED AGAIN (nap) taken to confim form with Rathbranchurch on 4lb worse terms

ALL IN PEDER seemed to appreciate returning to a sound surface when winning recently. Runner-up in a useful Aintree hurdle last June, he won from a rating of just 47 in a competitive handicap at Gowran and should stay this extra distance. Queen Of Seduction did much of her racing on easy ground prior to winning on good at Roscommon on Thursday. She run under a 7lb penalty but steps up markedly in distance and also makes a quick reappearance. Cafe Con Leche is a 12-race Flat maiden but stayed on nicely at Roscommon and notably steps up to this Flat distance for the first time. Mephisto likes this distance and while he lacks a recent run, today's rider claims 7lb. Away To Sea is a 15-race maiden but ran well at Killarney (The Jam Man was sixth), while Global Export stays well and should compete. Effernock Fizz was well held on recent Flat runs, while Zileo's rating has fallen 22lb in a year and he ran well at Leopardstown recently. Liberated Light is a year-younger brother to A Dream To Share and tries this distance for the first time.

A competitive staying event. ZILEO took a big step back in the right direction when second in a big field at Leopardstown recently and is worth a chance to build on that as he's well treated on old form. Mephisto did very well on AW earlier in the year and is much respected back from a short break. All In Peder and Cafe Con Leche are others to consider.

Thursday's Roscommon winner QUEEN OF SEDUCTION could have still more to offer over this longer trip

NARMAR has form and seems progressive. From a top Aga Khan staying family, he ran well behind subsequent Irish 2,000 Guineas sixth Quar Shamar in April and a reproduction of his good Killarney run would give him every chance. Sea Gardens ran with promise on juvenile debut but his reappearance run at Cork was disappointing, with his rider reporting he became unbalanced in the final furlong. He returns from a 44-day mini-break but is on a retrieval mission. Livio Milo is race-fit but needs to improve in a first-time visor, while Ninth Life has a similar profile and might struggle to win. Highland Rahy outran his odds at Gowran but faces a tough enough task, while Autoline was well held on debut.

NARMAR sets the form standard on his second at Killarney last month and could have more to offer yet. He can open his account. Sea Gardens is also a potential improver and is feared most.

An open-looking maiden. NARMAR nearly nicked a similar race at Killarney last month when a clear second and narrowly gets the vote

BLUE WOOD may be worth a shot here. The Requinto gelding had very little luck in running at Roscommon last time when hampered a few times. He eventually finished eighth behind Blue Peak, but would have been much closer with a clear run. He was a narrow winner at Dundalk on his previous start and looks capable of landing a race on turf off his current mark. Manhattan Dandy ran well to finish third in that Roscommon race and is on the same terms now having been rated below the basement mark of 47 last time. What Adaay was a consistent sort at a low level last year and could get involved on her return to action.

DUTCH GLORY showed enough in a better handicap than this at Cork 18 days ago to think she's back in good form so she could be the answer to what is a tricky puzzle. Swiss Army Officer snapped a losing sequence a fortnight ago and he retains handicap scope, with Manhattan Dandy another to consider.

A chance can be taken on MANHATTAN DANDY. He is a 41-race maiden but put in an encouraging effort when third at Roscommon
Class & Speed Card

HURRICANE HELEN may be able to make an immediate impact for Shark Hanlon. The Gutaifan filly has fallen to a workable mark and is a fairly consistent sort. She didn't get much luck in running in a Gowran claimer last time and was dropped a couple of pounds after that. Atbay ran well when chasing home Blue Peak at Roscommon last time and is still relatively unexposed. He could be a big player again having remained on the same mark. Skontonovski has run well on his last couple of outings and is another for the shortlist.

ATBAY isn't yet exposed after 6 starts and he looks well worth another go at 1m, so he could be the answer. Skontonovski and Simply Sideways are a couple of potential threats.

The draw is a concern but SOYOUNIQUE should appreciate this better ground and offers some each-way value

These races are perfect for a horse like TAIPAN, who has a lofty enough rating, and he looks like the one to beat. The Frankel gelding ran out a cosy winner of another conditions event over 1m6f at Killarney last time and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get another win under his belt. The 92-rated Female Soldier would appear to be the main danger on paper. She was fifth behind the selection last time and has a nice turnaround at the weights now. As well as getting a 10lb pull this time, Adam Ryan takes a further 7lb off her back. Ace Aussie could be given a chance off his rating of 87, but hasn't been in great form over jumps in recent starts and has a bit to prove.

This should develop into a match between FEMALE SOLDIER and Taipan, with the former marginally preferred in receipt of 10 lb back over a more suitable trip.

This looks another good opportunity for TAIPAN after he landed a similar event at Killarney last month.
