Amerilis

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: P Twomey Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: 41,000gns F, E175,000 Y; eighth foal; half-sister to winners Heavenly Holly (Listed-placed 7f AW; RPR 98) and James Park Woods (7.5f/1m; 79); dam French 7f winner (81), half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Lily of the Valley; interesting prospect for an increasingly influential stable.

Balantina

Jockey: O Murphy Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 4

Comment: Betrayed inexperience when fourth (beaten favourite) over C&D; impressive winner is stepping up in class in the Marble Hill; can do better with the run under her belt.

Comment: Sixth foal; half-sister to winners Library (7.5f 2yo/1m2f Listed; RPR 109) and Vice President (1m2f; 93); dam 7f 2yo/1m4f Group 3 winner (105), sister to 11.6f Listed winner Nevis, half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner/Derby second US Army Ranger.

Cape Sounion

Jockey: G M Ryan Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 2

Comment: Showed definite promise when second on debut at Naas; winner Simply Astounding has since flopped when odds-on for a Group 3 event at the same venue; however, possibly wrong to read too much into that lapse.

Composing

Jockey: W M Lordan Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: E300,000 Y; first foal; dam 1m/9.4f winner (inc Group 2; RPR 112), half-sister to winners Dolce Strega (7f Group 3), Bumbasina (Listed-placed 1m) and Raffaello (7f/1m), out of unraced half-sister to Cesarewitch winner Darley Sun; Ryan Moore rides Beautify.

Dancing Saxon

Jockey: D McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: Third foal; half-sister to 7f/1m winner Dancing Gemini (inc 2yo/Group 2; RPR 121); dam 1m AW 2yo winner (82); potentially interesting for top stable.

Divine Blue

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: John James Feane Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: Ninth foal; half-sister to four winners; dam unraced sister to 6f 2yo winner Chroussa, half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Carrizo Creek; not one of the more likely candidates in a strong maiden.

Gia Mor

Jockey: J A Powell Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: E31,000 F, E100,000 Y; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Mathematician (1m2f/1m3f AW; RPR 84) and Marvellous Lady (9.4f AW; 61); dam runner-up 1m AW (inc 2yo; 76), half-sister to useful 5f-1m2f winner Alhaban; appears to be stable's second string.

Hasita

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: Third foal; half-sister to winners Hasna (10.3f; RPR 89) and Hasiyna (6f AW; 73); dam 1m AW winner (69), half-sister to 7f winner Hazmiyra, out of Group-placed 1m2f winning half-sister to Derby winner Harzand; may find a few of these rivals too quick.

Mchenry Sunrise

Jockey: J A Heffernan Trainer: J A Stack Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: E60,000 Y; fourth foal; dam unraced sister to winners Iberia (useful 7f 2yo), World Famous (9.4f) and Perfect Light (8.4f/1m2f), out of 6f Group 3 winner.

Paris Carver

Jockey: D Egan Trainer: Adrian Murray Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: $100,000 Y, $600,000 Ocala breeze-up purchase; first foal; dam US stakes-placed 5f turf 2yo winner, half-sister to US Graded stakes-placed 6f/6.5f winner McKale, out of unraced half-sister to US 7f/1m Grade 1 winner Affirmed Success; highly respected yard, could be well primed for this.

Princess Sioux

Jockey: L T McAteer Trainer: James M Barrett Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Comment: Third foal; half-sister to a winner in Italy; dam unplaced, closely related to 5f 2yo Listed winner Warsaw, half-sister to Japanese 6f 2yo Grade 3 winner Meiner Eternel.

So Must I

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-2

Taiyi

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: Mrs John Harrington Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 6

Verdict: Initial indications from a smooth Naas win are that ALBERT EINSTEIN can live up to a tall home reputation as the season progresses

Albert Einstein

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 1

Comment: First foal out of a Group-placed 5f AW winner from the family of Giant's Causeway; home reputation preceded him when coming through his first test at Naas in professional fashion, beating the once-raced second favourite readily, with a 12l gap back to the third.

Andab

Jockey: D McMonagle Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 1

Comment: Saxon Warrior colt is a brother to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Victoria Road; notably easy to back when producing a smart debut performance over C&D early in the month; shooting clear inside the final furlong after travelling powerfully; slight concern that the market leaders failed to fire, with outsiders taking second and place; strong visual impression nonetheless.

Comment: Beaten by a filly from the Murray/Aguiar team on debut at Dundalk; showed the benefit of that run when winning the 5f Naas event that served as a prelude to Little Big Bear's progression into a top-class juvenile for Ballydoyle in 20022.

Jockey: D Egan Trainer: Adrian Murray Age/Wt: 2/9-5 F: 13

Comment: Created a good impression when making all on debut here in March on soft; looked almost ready for an extra furlong at that stage and confirmed that impression on better ground when third in a 5f Listed race here three weeks ago; snug winner Lady Imam boosted the form with a fine display at Naas last Sunday; stable selected.

Miami Destination

Jockey: R G Ryan Trainer: Adrian Murray Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 14

Comment: Winning favourite on debut over 5f at this venue; form was boosted by the runner-up Oh Cecilia at Cork; ignored in the market in a six-runner Group 3 event at Naas last Sunday, made the running to two out before fading into the fourth behind the exciting Lady Imam.

Comment: Fourth foal; half-sister to two winners on the continent; dam unplaced in seven starts, sister to Group 2 winner Kool Kompany; thrown in at the deep end on debut.

Stonezilian

Jockey: R Whearty Trainer: Adrian Murray Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 60

Porta Fortuna

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: Donnacha Aidan O'Brien Age/Wt: 4/9-5 F: 21118- OR: 117

Comment: Group 1 winner over 6f at two; the best filly at a mile in Europe last year, winning three Group 1 races over the trip, Coronation, Falmouth and Matron Stakes; forgiven a below-par effort in the Breeders' Cup Mile when last seen; yard hasn't hit top form yet this year but she is the one to beat if close to her best on return.

Comment: Classy filly in France last year; won a 1m2f Group 2 in France last May and better form when second to the subsequent Group 1 winner Friendly Soul in another Group 2; forgiven a below form run in the Arc' when last seen; considered even though this trip looks a bit sharp.

Jancis

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: W McCreery Age/Wt: 4/9-2 F: 118-2 OR: 107

Comment: Leopardstown 7f maiden winner on debut took the jump to Group 3 company in her stride at the same track next time; wasn't at her best behind Porta Fortuna in the Group 1 Matron Stakes afterwards; posted a fine Gowran Listed run over almost 1m2f on return this term; this trip will suit better so can be closely involved.

Vera's Secret

Jockey: N M Crosse Trainer: John James Feane Age/Wt: 6/9-2 F: 1015-1 OR: 106

Comment: Huge filly was a late-starter but a rapid improver in handicaps last year, including winning over C&D; ran away with a 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on return last time; stays this trip well and is a big player if this doesn't come too soon after such a big performance.

Comment: Lightly raced; winner of eight of his 13 races, including both Group 1 attempts, in the 2023 Prix d'Ispahan and a career-best when overcoming trouble in running to defeat Calandangan in the Champion Stakes; previously not seen to best effect in the Prix Dollar; runs well when fresh but has never faced a task like this on seasonal debut.

White Birch

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: John Joseph Murphy Age/Wt: 5/9-5 F: 4/111-2 OR: 121

Comment: Third behind Auguste Rodin in 2023 Derby after Dante second; in rear in the Irish Derby and not at best at Leopardstown on final start at three; progressive in a hat-trick of Pattern wins at this venue early last season, culminating in an impressive victory over August Rodin in this event; setbacks later, returned with a fine effort against Los Angeles; every chance he can reverse the form.

Kalpana

Jockey: O Murphy Trainer: Andrew Balding Age/Wt: 4/9-2 F: 23111- OR: 118

Comment: Handicap winner and Listed-placed before third in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot; justified short-priced favouritism in a 1m3f Listed race at Hamilton and 1m4f Group 3 on AW at Kempton; took her form to a new level when defeating the Irish-trained Wingspan in Group 1 Fillies & Mares on soft ground at Ascot.

Comment: Placed in three Pattern races at two, best effort when second over 6f on good ground at this venue; took advantage of a good opportunity in 1m AW maiden at Dundalk in February; dropped away in the final furlong in the 7f Fred Darling; better over 1m here last time, but held by Atsila on that running.

Jockey: G F Carroll Trainer: Joseph G Murphy Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 17-32 OR: 103

Comment: Made a promising debut at Gowran last July; Naas maiden winner on second outing; failed to cope with soft ground in a C&D Group 3 on final juvenile start; two solid runs in defeat, third behind Swelter at Leopardstown, and second to Atsila; no strong reason why she should reverse form with any of those three.

Comment: Winner and Group-placed at two; belied her 33-1 odds with a clear-cut success in the 7f Fred Darling at Newbury on seasonal debut; fading when stumbling over a furlong down in the 1,000 Guineas; still has to prove she stays this far.

Comment: Two wins from four Irish starts last season, notably a comfortable success over an extended 7f in a Listed race at Tipperary; stronger form in defeat in two trips to Britain; got within 1 1/2l of Desert Flower when overtaking Flight half a furlong out in the May Hill; thoroughly outpointed by the Godolphin star in the Fillies' Mile.

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 1111-6 OR: 118

Comment: Star juvenile, 5-5 including Group/Grade 1 races at three different trips, namely the 7f Moyglare at this venue (good), the 6f Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (soft) and 1m Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar (firm); ran as if she needed it when sixth in the 1,000 Guineas; preparation was not ideal; likely to be much closer to peak form now.

Simmering

Jockey: D McMonagle Trainer: Ollie Sangster Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 124-73 OR: 109

Comment: Solid juvenile campaign featured Group wins over 6f/7f in Britain/France and a good second to Lake Victoria over 7f at this track in the Moyglare; fourth in the Prix Marcel Boussac; doubts raised by a tame run in the Fred Darling on reappearance; left that form behind when third in the 1,000 Guineas, one length behind stablemate Flight.
