15/2
Foaled April 11. Ghaiyyath colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Fairy Cross and half-brother to 9.5f winner Willow Cove and 2-y-o 5f winner On Point. Makes obvious appeal on paper and is the choice of Buick.

Siyouni colt who shaped as if better for the run and experience when fifth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) on debut 56 days ago. Sure to improve.

13/2
The most expensive horse at the Craven Breeze-Up sales at 1,000,000 gns and should improve on his opening fifth at Sandown last month when looking a bit short of pace.

Dubawi colt who was still in need of the experience when fourth of 5 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Should still improve.

7/1
Night of Thunder colt who showed plenty to work on when third of 8 in a C&D novice (good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Open to progress.

Timeform
Foaled January 12. 200,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Eleanora Duse out of useful 1¼m winner Drama Class. Bred to come into his own over further but still warrants respect on debut.

Forecasts

Field Of Gold (9/4), Mount Kilimanjaro (11/4), Royal Officer (13/2), Thunder Wonder (7/1), Mothecombe (15/2), Our Terms (16/1), Sing Us A Song (16/1), Starzintheireyes (18/1), White Crown Star (33/1), Shamal Wind (40/1), Must Believe (100/1), Charming Fellow (200/1), Badeco (300/1)

Verdict

MOUNT KILIMANJARO is clearly well regarded judged on his Group 1 entries and, having shaped as if better for the run in what is traditionally a hot maiden at Leopardstown in May, he earns the vote to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Mothecombe is a most interesting newcomer, and it could prove significant that Buick prefers him to Royal Officer, with Field of Gold another to take seriously having shaped with plenty of encouragement behind an experienced pair at Doncaster.
