The market will provide vital clues to the relative merits of the many newcomers and FAIRY GODMOTHER is an obvious candidate from Ballydoyle. The Night Of Thunder filly cost 425,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to a Listed-placed juvenile winner. Moyglare Stud Farm have two interesting contenders in Sparkling Sea, by Starspangledbanner out of a winning Dark Angel mare, and Zharova (by Kingman), who cost 140,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to two speedy winners. Alumni Lia, Cold Hearted and Red Veil are others to consider, while Cradle Of Love was a promising third on debut at Dundalk.

This maiden has been won by some good fillies in the past. ZHAROVA is one of several likely-looking types and she will be very appealing indeed if the market vibes are upbeat. Aidan O'Brien has saddled three of the last five winners of this race and his representative Fairy Godmother is also of strong interest. The clear pick of the few with experience is Cradle of Love and she merits respect, while Cold Hearted and Sparkling Sea are two more noteworthy debutantes to consider.

A chance is taken on ZHAROVA to make a winning debut for a yard that has started the season in cracking style, She is bred to be speedy

GOAL EXCEEDED beat the progressive Take Me To Church in a maiden on soft ground over C&D last autumn and the form of his reappearance when finishing well over the minimum trip at Cork has also been working out well since. Jessica Harrington has a strong hand, with riding arrangements suggesting Heavenly Being, a close-up third at the Curragh recently, is preferred to Glamorously, whose two wins last year included the Birdcatcher at this venue. Branding showed some promise on soft ground here last year, while Dundalk winner Clarita and Lively Set, with Dylan Browne McMonagle booked on her handicap debut, are others to consider.

GOAL EXCEEDED landed a C&D maiden on the third of this three starts at 2 yrs and shaped well when fourth on his handicap debut over 5f at Cork last month. He is entitled to come on for that run and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark back at 6f. Next on the list is Velvet Skies, who has found just one too good on each of his two starts on the all-weather this season. Clarita, off the mark at Dundalk when last seen in December, is best of the rest.

Upped in trip after a good recent Curragh run HEAVENLY BEING gets the vote here with a visor tried

Stag Night beat JON RIGGENS by nearly five lengths on testing ground over C&D last autumn and has continued to progress this term, showing good speed to score over the minimum trip at Cork last month. However, the pair now renew rivalry on 18lb different terms and Eddie Lynam's three-time winner can reverse the placings. Apache Outlaw won twice at Dundalk over the winter and lost his chance at the start in Lingfield on Good Friday, while stablemate Laugh A Minute comes here off two solid placed efforts at the Curragh. Twilight Jet has won twice at Group 3 level, including the Lacken Stakes at this venue, and has been given a chance by the handicapper this year.

MICKEY THE STEEL has dipped below the mark he defied at the Curragh last autumn and might be worth chancing after taking a step back in the right direction back at the Curragh recently. Stag Night rates an obvious danger on the back of his Cork success at the end of March. Tough Talk and Laugh A Minute also make the shortlist.

An open-looking handicap in which a bit of value may be had in DAGODA, who caught the eye on her recent seasonal return at the Curragh

OCEAN QUEST got last season off to an impressive start, beating Aesop's Fables by six lengths in the Committed Stakes on heavy ground at Navan, and the Jessica Harrington-trained filly again put up a smart performance in the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes here in August. Her form tailed off towards the end of last term, but hopefully she bounces back with the yard in good form. Go Athletico won three times with cut in the ground last year and the form of his win in the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh, with Big Gossey in second and both Aesop's Fables and Ocean Quest well behind in third and fourth, reads well. Moss Tucker gives away weight to all, but won this last year and went on to land the Group 1 Flying Five at the Curragh.

AESOP'S FABLES can make the most of the 5 lb he receives from Moss Tucker and prevent Ken Condon's charge landing this for a second year running. Jessie Harrington's Ocean Quest won at listed level on her 2023 reappearance and looks best of the remainder.

OCEAN QUEST(nap) isn't far behind the best of these, she goes particularly well fresh and at this track, so can take their measure

TRANQUILLITATIS' two half-siblings were black-type performers for her trainer, including the smart Piz Badile, and she is out of a Listed-winning half-sister to Oaks winner Light Shift. Unraced as a juvenile, she now at least debuts at a good time of year and could be capable. Fleetingly flopped on debut here last month but is likely to prove better than that. She was probably unsuited by heavy ground then and while she also travelled lazily, first-time blinkers are applied and she has an excellent pedigree. Hasna showed nice ability when finishing second to an experienced winner at Dundalk in February and while she faces a tougher task, should improve. Chick Flick finished ahead of Fleetingly last month but was well held since, while Improvista (who runs in a first-time tongue-tie) and Purple Sky were both well held on debut.

HASNA showed plenty to work on when runner-up in a Dundalk maiden and is bound to improve for this longer trip (from the family of connections' Derby winner Harzand). Fleetingly failed to meet expectations on debut here 5 weeks ago but she's worth another chance on better ground, while Kingman filly Tranquillitatis is a newcomer to note.

The beautifully-bred TRANQUILLITATIS is chosen to make a winning debut for a yard that has started the season in flying form.

SNELLEN's rating of 92 almost seems too good to be true, having won the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot last June. She was green on debut, and again drifted left when scoring at Ascot, and while disappointing in the Debutante Stakes in August, ran a solid race at Group 3 level last October. That form is strong as the winner subsequently finished fourth at Group 1 level, the runner-up finished second in a recent Guineas trial, while both the third and fifth each won recent Group races. Air Commander is race-fit and battled well to win at Dundalk recently. He, too, should better his rating but might struggle to beat the selection. The race-fit Marty The Party should also compete from his initial handicap rating of 85 and easy ground would suit, while Cardinal Zin is proven in handicaps. Spanish Flame beat recent Cork winner Bremen at Tipperary last July, but disappointed subsequently and has been gelded.

CARDINAL ZIN showed much improved form on handicap debut when just edged out at Gowran on his comeback on Wednesday and has obvious claims off the same mark if this doesn't come too soon. Air Commander rates a useful prospect and looks the main threat ahead of Port Louis.

MARTY THE PARTY looks just the type to thrive as a 3yo and begins the season on quite an attractive mark

SO MESSI has a dreadful draw in 21, but is race-fit and ran well in a recent handicap. Placed in all three handicaps runs to date, he bumped into an unexposed winner at Leopardstown recently and while 2lb higher and wearing first-time cheekpieces, has form on yielding ground. Adhuil ran well at Gowran on Wednesday and although a 20-race maiden, his rider again claims 10lb and he should get involved. Naisiun won here in March and might be better suited to a mile than when finishing midfield in a recent Curragh handicap over 6f. Badly-drawn (17) Fleetfootsoldier has done most of his racing on the all-weather, but has a good record from three runs on turf and debuts for a new yard. Dual turf winner Hale Bopp has had a busy winter on the all-weather and is holding his form, while Atbay was seven lengths behind the selection (My Birthday Girl was fifth) at Leopardstown.

Following some underwhelming efforts over hurdles, SO MESSI ran up to his best returned to the Flat when third at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and, still fairly lightly raced in this sphere, he could be up to defying this sort of mark. Fleetfootsoldier, Adhuil and Atbay are others to consider.

Wide open with a tentative selection going to SO MESSI on the back of a good Leopardstown run

SUMMER SNOW is drawn wide in 20, but won easily on Wednesday and is officially 6lb ahead of the handicapper under her fixed penalty. All her best form, and both her wins, have come over 7f so stepping up to a mile is a concern, but she scored in a first-time tongue-tie at Gowran (Master Garvey finished seventh) and can progress a little further. Numidia returned from a break when running well at Dundalk recently, with his only win, albeit from 30 runs, being at this distance. Ano Manna won twice at Killarney last year before being involved in an identity mix-up at that track in September. She disappointed on her most recent run, but that was almost certainly due to heavy ground and she will be far better suited by drying conditions. Breezy Zoff has been well held recently but reverts back down to this grade and is race-fit. Sound Move ran reasonably well on recent handicap debut, while Lisabetta had some useful form last year.

A big field but it's still hard to ignore the claims of SUMMER SNOW, who made a sparking debut for her new yard at Gowran on Wednesday. Numida and Master Garvey are a couple of potential threats.

SUMMER SNOW is taken to follow up her easy Gowran 7f win five days ago despite carrying a 7lb penalty and drawn wide.

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.
