KANSAS has been placed on all three starts to date and could make the breakthrough. He has been beaten by some smart sorts and the two horses that finished in front of him at Navan weren't out of place on subsequent trips to Royal Ascot. Baker Blue was a couple of places behind Kansas in fifth at Navan and ought to be involved. Spicetown led for a long way in Down Royal before dropping to sixth. Sam Coen takes 7lb off his back and they can get closer. Jack The Bachelor was only 6/1 on debut in that Down Royal race where he finished in rear of mid-division and Colin Keane has been booked, while Tertre Rouge is a newcomer to note.

Although beaten at odds-on last time at Navan, KANSAS (nap) remains the one to beat, with cheekpieces now fitted

SIR YOSHI is well clear on official ratings and avails of the three-year-old allowance, so ought to be bang there. He has been performing creditably in Listed company, especially when beaten under a length into fourth on fast ground at York in May. Harry's Hill gave best inside the final furlong of the valuable Rockingham in the Curragh last weekend before finishing fourth which was a good run. If this turnaround isn't too quick, he will be in the mix for another cheque. Eclairage weakened out of contention in Cork, but was entitled to need that run after six months off. She's still to show that she is as effective on turf as Polytrack, though.

This is a good opportunity for SIR YOSHI who has often performed creditably in defeat since winning a C&D maiden last year

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

SPRING IS HERE could be worth backing on this better ground. There was plenty of promise in her opening fourth behind the classy Lady Iman at the Curragh in May. She couldn't stay with the leader on much slower ground when third in Cork, however, that form looks decent after the winner finished in a dead-heat for third in Listed class at Royal Ascot. There is highly likely to be more to come from Aidan O'Brien's Naas winner First Approach who gets first-time cheekpieces after running unplaced in his last couple of starts in better company, while Fresh Fade has put three solid runs together and is a major contender.

This provides FIRST APPROACH with a chance to get his campaign back on track after a couple of demanding tasks

THERIVERRUNSDEEP could do damage off a mark of 46 with Terry Casey's 7lb claim factored in. She knows where the winning post is having clocked up six victories throughout her career. The Camacho mare was last seen finishing third at Dundalk in September and Sam Coen is a good booking for her. If Eclairage runs well in the 5.40 race on this card, it would boost the prospects of Skillman Ave who came home third behind her on two occasions at Dundalk last year. She wasn't beaten far into fifth in a first-time visor at Listowel last month. Top-weight This Ain't Texas is a lightly-raced sort with more upside than most.

Preference is for SKILLMAN AVE, who showed plenty of speed at Listowel and could be suited by this drop in trip

RISING SKY was beaten just over two lengths into fourth over further at Leopardstown and the form looks strong. Both the winner and the runner-up have gone in since, so this could be the time for Rising Sky. There was also merit in her fourth on penultimate start in Roscommon. Justify filly Just Before has shown more than enough to be in the mix for a cheque despite shouldering top-weight as she has form in better class races. Mother Mara looks threatening on the back of being pipped by a short head in Fairyhouse at the end of May, while Beautiful Affair has slipped down to a mark of 70 which she should be competitive off.

Only just denied at Fairyhouse in her first handicap, MOTHER MARA has good prospects of going one place better.

FAOLADH got 7lb for winning in Leopardstown, however, that is more than offset by the booking of 10lb claimer Adam Browne-Souza, so has every chance of following up. Joseph O'Brien's Glenroyal showed definite promise when getting up to dead-heat for second on handicap debut at Ballinrobe and could build upon that. There is a race in Great Mover who has been placed in her last couple of handicaps. A first-time visor is tried in a bid to eke a bit more from her. Magnolia Drive, a stablemate of Glenroyal, was the horse who dead-heated for second at Ballinrobe and has to enter calculations. Onemoredance and You Are Mine are others pitching for prize-money.

Over this more galloping track, recent Ballinrobe second GLENROYAL gets the vote over stablemate Magnolia Drive

CRYPTO CRASH put in a better display in fourth at Leopardstown after being dropped to a lowly mark. His best result to date came at this track when runner-up over further last summer. Thegooseiscooked was gambled on in another Leopardstown contest before finishing third, so she should have a say in this company. Step To Somewhere drops back in trip and has been eased 4lb by the handicapper. She has two placed efforts in the book which will stand her in good stead. Princess Rabab was last seen winning a handicap at Dundalk in March last year. This Highland Reel mare has changed stables and is worth a market check on her return to action.

If sustaining the improvement shown at Leopardstown last time THEGOOSEISCOOKED may gain a belated success with Colin Keane aboard
