Form & Verdict
Brother to Bluebeard (Prix Morny and Middle Park); only fourth of seven when 4-6 for his Curragh debut (5f, good) last April; made handsome amends with wins in a C&D maiden (soft), a four-runner Naas conditions event (5f good) and the Norfolk Stakes, at the main expense of Middle Park winner Wise Approach; top-class sprinting prospect, reportedly in good shape.

C&D maiden win (yielding) sole start last season in October; excellent effort on seasonal return in Listed heat at Navan (6f, gd-yld), beaten 1.25l behind Charles Darwin; he has let the form down since, but this filly remains with potential and gets all the allowances here; not discounted.

Was thrown in at the deep end after winning a Navan maiden on debut last year; not beaten far in a Curragh conditions event last time and interesting in her first handicap.

Won a 6f maiden at Navan on only start at two; failed to build on that in three runs (including two stakes races) between April and June; returns from a break with plenty to prove.

That bit sharper on their respective debuts when beating Ocean's Breath over 6f at Navan in October; fourth to the classy Charles Darwin in Listed race back there in April; didn't finish off in Group 3 at Naas since; comes off the bridle fairly early in her races.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Aidan O'Brien won the 7f Convivial at York on his third outing; confirmed a fair standard of form in 7f Listed races at Doncaster and Dundalk before changing hands for 100,000gns; useful prospect for Danny Murphy; unlikely to match former stablemate Charles Darwin.

York maiden winner for Ballydoyle over 7f before two good runs in Listed company on AW over same distance; ran to a similar level on first start for new yard after break when beaten 2.5l into fifth by Charles Darwin in Committed Stakes at Navan; friendless in market and ran poorly at Newbury 49 days ago; gelded since and chance if reproducing that Navan run back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July; best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f yielding); below form in the Goffs Million on only 7f attempt; soft ground probably not ideal on seasonal debut at Cork.
