Adnap¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W M Lordan| T: G P Cromwell

50/1

Didn't show much on debut when finishing sixth of eight having been sent off at 9/1, with others having made much more promising starts to their careers.

Amedeo Modigliani

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: P B Beggy| T: A P O'Brien

20/1

Galileo colt out of a Danehill Dancer mare who looks interesting on paper but looks to be the stable's third string on jockey bookings.

Bond Street²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| BF

7/1

Couldn't get involved on debut when sent off the favourite but was beaten by a talented-looking rival and he may deserve another chance in a race without a rival that is so difficult to beat.

Burgundy Boy²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: G F Carroll| T: S Lavery

25/1

Finished a fair fourth on debut (was between Sebastiano Ricci and Bond Street on that occasion), and he could come on for that, but will need to in quite a big way to seriously challenge.

Gustav Klimt^t1³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

11/8

Seemed to lack to the pace to seriously challenge on debut so should enjoy this step up in trip, with the addition of the tongue strap also likely to prove helpful. Retains significant potential on breeding for some top connections.

Form: 5

Messerati Kid¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: N G McCullagh| T: J P Murtagh

66/1

Finished last of 13 and was beaten 9L on debut at Leopardstown last month. Needless to say he would need to leave that performance well behind him to get involved in this.

Quizical

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R P Whelan| T: S Lavery

66/1

Roderic O'Connor colt who cost €9,000 as a yearling (less than as a foal) and is a half-brother to a couple of winners, but will find this a difficult enough first assignment.

Sebastiano Ricci²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: D O'Brien| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Finished ahead of Bond Street on debut and was second only to a wide-margin winner, though has less scope to progress than that re-opposing rival and has now failed to get genuinely close in three attempts at maidens.

Sirjack Thomas

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: W J Lee| T: Madeleine Tylicki

33/1

Fast Company colt who cost €4,000 as a foal with only an average pedigree and comes from a yard not renowned for juvenile winners.

South East^t¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger

14/1

Not beaten far on debut at Limerick last time (7f, good), when seemingly a little bit unlucky in-running. Can come on for that run and shouldn't be discounted here.

Would Be King³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: C T Keane| T: G M Lyons

6/4

Progressed well from his first start to finish a good second in Listed company last time out. Winner of that has since run well at Royal Ascot and this could be a good opportunity for this horse to get off the mark if the extra distance isn't an issue.

Forecasts

Gustav Klimt (11/8), Would Be King (6/4), Bond Street (7/1), Imaging (8/1), South East (14/1), Sebastiano Ricci (14/1), Amedeo Modigliani (20/1), Burgundy Boy (25/1), Sirjack Thomas (33/1), Adnap (50/1), Quizical (66/1), Messerati Kid (66/1)

If these all fulfill their potential this could turn out to be a fairly decent maiden, where WOULD BE KING looks the likeliest winner. He showed great progression from his debut run to finish second in Listed company last time out, when he was only beaten by Brother Bear, who would go on to run an excellent race in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Gustav Klimt is more interesting due to breeding and connections than anything he did on his tame first run, but still shouldn't be ignored, especially as Ryan Moore's choice of ride, while Burgandy Boy could also come on from his debut performance.
