Verdict: CHARLES DARWIN' showed enough speed when winning impressively at Navan to suggest the drop back to 5f here should not inconvenience him

Charles Darwin

Jockey: R L Moore Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-8 F: 41

1/14

Comment: No Nay Never colt is a brother to Group 1 winner Blackbeard; built on the promise of his Curragh debut (5f, good) when making all in a 6f Navan maiden (soft) in very impressive fashion; the drop back to 5f should pose no problems here and a 3lb penalty may not stop him from following up en-route to a trip to Royal Ascot.

Cardiff By The Sea

Jockey: J A Heffernan Trainer: J A Stack Age/Wt: 2/9-0

12/1

Comment: St Mark's Basilica filly bought for 320,000GNS at the Craven breeze-up sales last month; second foal; half-sister to 6f/7f winner Al Qudra (inc AW/2yo Listed; RPR 107); dam 5f 2yo winner (inc Listed; 98), half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner Magical Dreamer; attractive pedigree and could go well on debut.

Sir Alfie

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 2/9-5

22/1

Comment: Dark Angel colt cost 75,000GNS as a yearling; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Territories, out of Listed-placed 1m/1m1f 2yo winner, is granddaughter of 15.5f Group 3 winner; yard can ready one first time up but pedigree suggests he'll be seen to best effect over further.

Fresh Fade

Jockey: L F Roche Trainer: M D O'Callaghan Age/Wt: 2/9-5

33/1

Comment: Cotai Glory colt sold for 60,000Euros as a yearling and 55,000GNS as a 2yo; third foal; half-brother to 1m2f AW winner Rock Armour (RPR 68); dam 1m1f winner (80), half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Empowering, out of 7f Listed winning half-sister to 7f-1m1f Group 1 winner Bigstone; newcomer from respected source but pedigree suggests he may need further.

Jack The Bachelor

Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: Stephen Thorne Age/Wt: 2/9-5

Comment: Mehmas colt was a 65,000Euros yearling and 100,000GBP 2yo; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Markaz Paname (6f/7f inc 2yo/Group 3; RPR 109), Latin Fever (7f 2yo; 79) and On Tick (5f AW 2yo; 74); dam 5f winner (inc AW; 77), out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Elusive City; appeals on paper and worth a market check for in form yard.

Spring Is Here

Jockey: D P McDonogh Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-0 F: 4

Comment: Starspangledbanner filly cost 225,000Euros as a yearling; sister to 2yo Group 3 winner Castle Star ran a fine race in a listed contest at the Curragh on debut (5f, good) when 25-1, beaten just 2.5l into fourth of 6; should improve plenty for that initial experience and may give the Ballydoyle horse most to think about.
