2	Circle Of Life Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7	4/1
Comment: Dubawi colt is brother to winners Never Ending Story (7f inc 2yo/Group 3; RPR 111) and Navy Seal (8.3f 2yo/US 1m3f; 104); dam 1m2f winner (inc US Grade 1; 110), sister to 1m1f Group 3 winner Goddess, closely related to Irish Oaks winner Bracelet; National Stakes entry, appears the Ballydoyle pick on jockey bookings.
11	Trustmore Jockey: C D Hayes Trainer: Stephen Thorne Age/Wt: 2/9-7	7/1
Comment: Sioux Nation colt cost 95,000euros as a yearling and 150,000gns at the breeze-ups; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Haqeeqy (7f UAE Listed), Rock Melody (5f-7f inc 2yo) and Loudest Whisper (13.5f Flat and 2m/3m hurdle); yard well capable of readying one up first time so worth a look.
5	Nil Bua Gan Dua Jockey: D Browne McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7	9/1
Comment: American Pharoah colt cost $38,000 as a yearling and 160,000euros at the breeze-ups; first foal; dam placed US 1m-1m1f turf/AW, half-sister to US 1m Grade 3 winner Keri Belle; yard won this two years ago with a subsequent Group 3 winner and riding arrangements suggest he is the yard number one.
3	Daring Heart Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 2/9-7	11/1
Comment: Kodi Bear half-brother to five winners inc Bobby Bennu (7f/7.6f inc AW; RPR 105), Mattymolls Gaga (7f inc 2yo/HK; 93) and Lord Clenaghcastle (5f-8.5f inc 2yo/AW; 87); dam maiden; yard has strong team of juveniles so market has to be closely watched.
6	Resurgence Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-7	11/1
Comment: Too Darn Hot colt is first foal of a French Listed-placed 7.5f/10.5f winner (RPR 96), a half-sister to French Listed-placed 1m winner Zvarov, family of US Grade 2 winner Charmo; others look more likely types on debut.
10	Thread Of Gold Jockey: J M Sheridan Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 2/9-7	11/1
Comment: Ghaiyyath gelding cost 100,000gns as foal; closely related to winners Great Esteem (1m4f AW; RPR 99) and Royal Tapestry (1m AW 2yo; 74), half-brother to two more inc Broderie (1m-1m2f inc AW/German Listed; 105); dam Group-placed 1m winner (106); bred to need more time.
7	Savile Row Jockey: M Crehan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7	14/1
Comment: No Nay Never colt a 400,000gns yearling; half-brother to five winners inc Mask Of Time (1m-1m2f inc Australian Group 3; RPR 108), Milestone (1m4f; 99) and Mahari (9.7f-1m4f; 92); dam 14.5f winner, half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Miss France; riding arrangements suggest Circle Of Life is the Ballydoyle first-choice.
4	Lauda Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7	16/1
Comment: Wootton Bassett colt is second foal of a Group-placed 6f 2yo winner (RPR 104), herself a half-sister to useful 1m2f/10.6f winner Sir Lamorak, family of US 1m2f Grade 1 winner Athena and Irish Oaks winner winner Bracelet; riding arrangements suggest he is the lesser-fancied of Joseph O'Brien's pair but still respected.
8	Shadow Run Jockey: J A Powell Trainer: M D O'Callaghan Age/Wt: 2/9-7	16/1
Comment: Mehmas colt a 140,000gns breeze-up buy; brother to three winners inc Caturra (5f/6f 2yo inc Group 2; RPR 109) and Tales Of The Heart (Listed-placed 6f AW 2yo; 93), half-brother to two winners inc Sir Arthur Dayne (7f/1m inc 2yo; 97); dam 5f/6f winner (inc 2yo; 98); respected source of 2yos, one to consider if strong in the market.

Comment: Starspangledbanner colt cost 300,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to five winners inc 2yo 1m Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Albigna; dam French 1m4f/12.5f winner (inc Group 2; 115), out of half-sister to a BC Mile winner; interesting debutant although yard's juveniles tend to benefit from a run.
12	Vidmiyr Jockey: N G McCullagh Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 2/9-7	33/1
Comment: Footstepsinthesand half-brother to four winners inc Valsad (French 1m2f 2yo) and Moridan (Australian 7f); dam unraced half-sister to winners Vadamar (1m4f Group 2), The Pentagon (7f 2yo Group 3) and Vaderana (11.5f, dam of Eclipse/French Derby winner Vadeni); will likely need more time.
14	Starfinch Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-2	33/1
Comment: Mehmas filly is first foal of a 9.4f turf Group 3/10.6f AW winner (RPR 107), a sister to 10.5f Group 3 winner Foxes Tales, closely related to 6f 2yo/1m Group 1 winner La Collina; down the field in Naas barrier trial in May; seemingly the lesser-likely of the Harrington pair on jockey bookings.
1	Ciarrai Abu Jockey: L F Roche Trainer: Jarlath P Fahey Age/Wt: 2/9-7	100/1
Comment: Study Of Man gelding a 14,000euros yearling; third foal; half-brother to 1m1f/1m2f winner Alice Monet (RPR 95); dam 1m winner (72), from family of US 1m3f/1m4f Grade 1 winner Red Rocks; yard hasn't had a 2yo winner in the last five years.

5/6

Comment: Wootton Bassett colt cost 400,000euros as a yearling; narrowly denied in decent Newmarket maiden (winner finished third in Group 3 Acomb Stakes during the week) on last month's debut before landing long odds later in month over this trip at Galway, making all; type to keep improving and Ballydoyle's sole runner sets the standard here.

3/1

Comment: Lope De Vega colt is third foal of a twice-raced French 7.5f AW 2yo winner (RPR 78), a sister to US 1m Grade 2 winner Filimbi; defied market weakness to make winning debut over C&D early this month, responding well to pressure and asserting late on under considerate enough handling to win going away; could well come on plenty for that and respected.

Comment: Kingman colt, 100,000euros foal, 220,000 yearling, half-brother to 6f/7f AW 2yo winner Port Augusta (RPR 94); dam 7f AW/8.4f turf Listed winner (104), from family of top-class 1m4f horse Shirocco; easy enough in the market on C&D debut last month, handy throughout, only fading late when fourth behind a trio of Ballydoyle colts (second has since won a Goodwood maiden, third has won a Galway maiden); more needed.

Comment: Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam is out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; strapping colt made a fine impression on Killarney debut conceding weight all-round, quickening well off a steady pace in 1m auction event; drop in trip no problem and could well hold his own in this better company.

Comment: Only fifth to Balantina on debut but typically for a Ballydoyle 2yo she's soon left that form behind and it was all very straightforward from the front in a Group 3 at Leopardstown a month ago (7.5f, good to yielding); hard to knock with surely more to come.

Comment: The filly she beat on Cork debut now looks smart (Skydance well held in third) and this filly followed up when narrowly flooring the long odds-on colt Flushing Meadows in the Group 3 Anglesey here; already shown smart form and stepping up to 7f can only benefit when the dam won over 1m4f.

Comment: Has achieved the least of these but she cost 600,000euros as a yearling and probably accounted for a good filly when the pair were clear at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); has the Moyglare entry (as do the remainder) and she's not to be underestimated.

Comment: By No Nay Never; brother to winners Hazel (7f; RPR 84) and Dawn Over Owning (1m6f; 73), and half-brother to two winners including Ellipsism (3m hurdle); gelded ahead of this belated debut and would need to see confidence behind him.

King Winner

Jockey: R P Cleary Trainer: Adrian Murray Age/Wt: 3/9-8

50/1

Comment: £38,000 yearling; half-brother to French winners Haviassor (9.5f-12.5f; RPR 95) and Hevel (2m3f chase); unraced dam closely related to US 8.5f Grade 2 winner Qurbaan; needs checking in the betting.

Bright Night

Jockey: J M Sheridan Trainer: Denis Gerard Hogan Age/Wt: 3/9-3

100/1

Comment: 18,000gns 3yo; sixth foal; half-sister to winners Tyrrhenian Sea (1m/1m2f; RPR 115), So I Told You (8.3f-10.5f; 101) and Nivaldo (1m; 91); dam German 1m3f winner from a good family; positive pedigree.

Bartholomew

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: N Stokes Age/Wt: 3/9-8

125/1

Comment: 18,000gns foal; third foal out of a 7f winner (RPR 80) and half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Elronaq and 1m4f-1m6f winner Vindolanda; likely best watched on debut.

Verdict: The suggestion is BEANO POWER who is usually thereabouts and the first-time cheekpieces might just make a difference.

Nezeeh

Jockey: J M Sheridan Trainer: Denis Gerard Hogan Age/Wt: 4/10-2 F: 080241 OR: 72

6/4

Comment: Can have his off days but has put together three excellent runs on the bounce, twice over 5f before emerging from midfield to win over 6f here last week; the 5lb rise might just find him out but certainly respected.

Comment: C&D winner; behind Nezeeh and Beano Power on her last visit this July but she did well to mow down a clear leader at Newmarket three weeks ago (5f) so arrives in good form; should go well off a mark she can deal with.

Comment: Left Clive Cox for 24,000gns in July and as a seven-race maiden; however, did make the frame at Windsor (6f) on her final outing and she's plenty quick enough for this first attempt at 5f; could be interesting.

Beano Power

Comment: Only one win in 15 but often thereabouts, as was again the case in a big-field C&D handicap last time; fair shout off the same mark and cheekpieces might give her a lift.
