Churchill colt was slowly away and never on terms in Naas maiden last September and again not the best of breaks on last month's Dundalk return, running green and weakening into midfield; may need a bit more time.

Towards rear throughout - some headway against far rail inside final furlong - never near to challenge(op 12/1)
Sea The Moon gelding a 70,000gns foal; half-brother to 7f AW/1m winner Cavalo Nero (RPR 91); dam Listed-placed 7.4f 2yo winner (96); never landed a meaningful blow on Dundalk debut in February; back in trip here.

Made virtually all - ridden over 1f out - ran on well inside final furlong(op 7/2)
Closely related to winners Young Ireland (Group-placed 1m2f) and Feile Na Mban (1m4f), half-brother to winner Ceol Na Nog; dam 1m winner (89), half-sister to Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune; never counted on recent Curragh debut when well held in testing conditions; better for the experience and drier ground may suit.

Dwelt start - towards rear - headway into midfield 3f out - raced wide home turn - ran on well inside final furlong - went third final stride - nearest finish(op 22/1)
Never better than midfield on Tipperary debut last August, showing up more prominently on last month's Naas return before fading; may be more one for a handicap.

Prominent - soon raced in fourth - disputing third under 3f out - weakened 1f out(op 33/1)
Sioux Nation colt cost 55,000euros as a foal, £68,000 as a yearling and 56,000gns at the breeze-ups; first foal; dam French 1m5f winner, out of unraced half-sister to Yorkshire Oaks winner Shareta; market best guide on debut in what looks a weak maiden.

Prominent - challenging under 2f out - went second inside final furlong - ran on well - no match for winner(op 14/1 tchd 6/1)
Starman gelding a 11,500euros yearling; fourth foal; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 88), half-sister to 1m4f-2m1f winner Mondain, out of unraced sister to 1m-1m2f Group 1 winner Manduro; showed some degree of promise on Dundalk debut in November over this trip; no surprise if he improved enough to play a major role in this weak affair.

Midfield - outpaced under 2f out - kept on inside final furlong - not reach leaders(op 9/2)
Dark Angel gelding was a 38,000euros yearling; half-brother to four US winners inc Candy Flower (Graded-placed 8.5f turf; RPR 104) and Phantom Vision (5f AW/turf inc 2yo; 97); dam US 1m/8.3f dirt stakes winner; solid debut fourth (third won next time out) over this trip at Dundalk in December; yard in hot form and looks a big player, providing he handles the soft ground.
