It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Edwardian and Jungle Dance seem to have more promising pedigrees and could potentially do well in their races. Expecto may also improve after his debut race. Velvet Skies' pedigree is not mentioned as being particularly noteworthy.

EDWARDIAN catches the eye as a well-bred colt who is a half-brother to Group 3 winner Aspen Grove. The son of No Nay Never is one of two Ballydoyle runners in this opening contest but his pedigree suggests that he may be more of an early type than stablemate Leap Year. A high draw is usually an advantage when the ground is on the easy side at Tipperary so that further increases confidence. Leap Year should not be discounted as jockey bookings don't always signify which is the stable first-string. A rails draw may not be ideal but if he jumps smartly, he could use it to his advantage. Locally trained Jungle Dance is of obvious interest for Willie Browne. Having already sent out an impressive juvenile winner this season, Browne will know just what is required to win this.

LEAP YEAR is bred for a bit further than 1m but should have enough speed to be able to make a winning start at the possible expense of his stablemate Edwardian, who is also by No Nay Never. Expecto could improve for her initial experience, so she's worthy of consideration, too.

With his powerful yard running at a 50% strike-rate with it's juveniles this season, LEAP YEAR is selected.

Based on the summary, Daisy Jones seems to be the strongest contender as she has shown improvement in her recent races and sets the standard for this race. Parting Glass is also a potential contender as he showed promise in his debut and is expected to improve after being off for 6 months. Beaumadier may also have a chance if he can build on his recent improvement in his last race. The rest of the runners have either shown limited potential or have had poor performances in their previous races.

BEAUMADIER didn't show a great deal in two runs on the polytrack but has looked a different horse since switching to turf. The Michael Grassick-trained gelding belied odds of 200/1 when fourth at Naas last month, then followed that up with a second placing at the Curragh recently. Well drawn in stall 11, expect to see the son of Kuroshio jump out and make all. Parting Glass has to be respected given the fine start trainer Fozzy Stack has made to the season. This colt showed definite promise on his sole outing at the Curragh as a juvenile and the stable struck with a similar type recently. Daisy Jones has to concede weight to younger rivals but holds a leading chance all the same. In fact, her Navan third from last October is just about the best piece of individual form on offer.

DAISY JONES ran a cracker first time up last season and is still low mileage for her age. She can open her account. Beaumadier and Parting Glass can also make their presence felt.

Blinkers and a drop to 5f may do the trick for HEARTRATE. Likely dangers are the once-raced Parting Glass and Beaumadier

It is difficult to make a confident prediction with limited information, but New Variant seems to be the strongest contender based on its recent performance and experience. Albert Park and King Leodegrance could also be potential competitors, with interesting breeding and some room for improvement. Sleepless Knight and Smooth Gale are less likely to perform well, especially since they are debutants.

Derby entry ALBERT PARK wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary in order to make a winning racecourse debut. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt is bred to appreciate a test of stamina and has been set a realistic target on his introduction. New Variant who showed ability on four starts as a juvenile, proved he had trained on when a fair third at Leopardstown recently. However, with a handicap mark of 83, he appears vulnerable to an improver. King Leodegrance is certainly bred for the job, being a half-brother to Group winner Mohawk. While he needs to step forward from an ordinary debut, the application of first-time blinkers could see the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt in a better light.

NEW VARIANT showed improved form in line with the step up in trip when third at Leopardstown (10f) on return 2 weeks ago and with this even greater test worth exploring he could well put his experience to good use and come out on top. Albert Park, on debut, and likely-improver King Leodegrance can provide the chief threats.

With an improved showing at Leopardstown on seasonal debut under his girth, NEW VARIANT can get off the mark.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, based on recent form, Chally Chute seems to have the potential to pick up where he left off with three wins from seven runs last year and a career-best win in his last outing. As a preference, I would choose Chally Chute, but it is important to consider all factors such as the distance and ground conditions before making a final decision.

NEWFOUNDLAND is interesting on his first start for Joseph O'Brien. The Deep Impact gelding, a full-brother to Oaks winner Snowfall, hasn't been seen since finishing mid-division in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot. He had won his maiden at Navan prior to that, after some good placed efforts, and there looks scope for further improvement this season. Chally Chute was in flying form towards the end of last season, with three wins and has to be respected. He now races off a 12lb higher mark than when last seen at Galway. Dalvey has been running consistently for the in-form James McAuley and can pick up some more prize-money.

Plenty to consider in this useful handicap but NEWFOUNDLAND appeals as the type to make a better 4-y-o so he gets the vote on reappearance. Taipan and Burren Song are fit and in form and they look the chief threats.

Jessica Harrington's TAIPAN has done a lot of his racing in smart company and may be capable of handicap success in this grade

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Artistic Rifles may do well based on their past performance and success in 2021. However, their absence in 2022 and change in ownership could impact their performance. Saltonstall and Indian Wish also seem like competitive runners based on their recent form and past success.

SALTONSTALL looks the safest option here after a couple of good runs this season. The Pivotal gelding lost out by the narrowest of margins in the Irish Lincoln on his return last month before running a solid race to finish fourth in a strong listed race won by Buckaroo. Stablemate Casanova could be a danger here having been just a neck behind the selection in the Irish Lincoln. He is a couple of pounds worse off now but Adam Caffrey claims 2lb more off his back than Cian MacRedmond takes off the selection. Artistic Rifles is officially top-rated in the field but has to defy a long absence and may be best watched on his first outing for James McAuley. Monaasib was narrowly denied in listed company last season and is another that has to come into calculations in a tricky enough heat.

C&D winner SALTONSTALL confirmed himself as good as ever at the age of 9 with solid efforts both starts this spring, latterly when fourth at listed level, and he could be the answer to what rates a tricky puzzle. Villanova Queen remains low-mileage and is feared on return, with Indian Wish, on debut for Joseph O'Brien, and Casanova completing the shortlist.

The yard won the Gladness Stakes last weekend with a newly-recruited filly and they could strike here again with INDIAN WISH.

Based on the summary, Secret Sauce seems to have the best chance of doing well as it has recently performed very well in a handicap race and the step up in trip may suit it. The addition of blinkers may also improve its performance. Slaney Tide also seems competitive based on its recent form.

Fozzy Stack has made a good start to the season and SECRET SAUCE may be able to give him another winner. The Starspangledbanner gelding chased home Rhythm King on his return at Bellewstown a fortnight ago and despite going up 4lb for that performance he looks capable of landing a race of this standard now. Slaney Tide ran a solid race when fourth to easy winner Duke Of Leggagh at Navan last month and having been eased a pound since she could be a danger. Timeless Piece hasn't run too badly in a couple of maidens this season and she looks one to note on her handicap debut off a lowly enough mark.

SECRET SAUCE showed improved form when second on his handicap bow at Bellewstown on his return 2 weeks ago despite taking a while to get going and can go one place better with this longer trip to his advantage. Handicap-debutants Real History and Notturno head the dangers.

This looks like an excellent opportunity for SECRET SAUCE(nap) who made an encouraging handicap and seasonal debut at Bellewstown

Based on the summary, Bigz Belief seems like a strong contender with a recent second place finish and a tongue strap on for the first time. Bringsty is also worth considering after a recent win and Lisamaria could be competitive based on past form. Miracles In May and Leabaland also have solid each-way chances.

MAGIC CHARM ran really well on his second outing for Martin Hassett and can strike again off this kind of mark. The Holy Roman Emperor gelding was third to Razdan on his return this season at the Curragh and that form has been boosted since with the runner-up Purple Gown going on to win in good style at Leopardstown. Bringsty handled softer conditions well when winning at Leopardstown and has to be respected despite a 9lb hike for that win. Colin Keane takes the ride again. Leabaland, third to the aforementioned Purple Gown at Leopardstown last time, has been knocking on the door and is another for the shortlist.

BIGZ BELIEF put in a good shift on his first start on the Flat for 2 years at Gowran on Tuesday and, if allowed to take his chance here, he could be the answer. The winner of that Gowran handicap, Rockview Roman, will be a threat if making the cut but, as things stand, Bringsty, who did the job well at Leopardstown recently, and Magic Charm may emerge as the main dangers.

The vote goes to MAGIC CHARM who started the season with a Curragh third placing, form boosted by the runner-up with a Leopardstown win
