A decent maiden. Boogie Woogie sets the standard among the Ballydoyle trio, while Star Galaxy looked on her one run last season as though she could be a decent middle distance prospect. The one to beat is AZAZAT who ran a really nice race on debut at the Curragh last autumn when touched off by a filly who ran well in Sunday’s 1,000 Guineas Trial.

Three from Ballydoyle and Moore is on the newcomer The Black Tiger which is obviously significant but DUKE OF CADOR ran well on soft ground at Gowran in a race that is working out quite well and gets the nod. The Prairie is another Aidan O’Brientrained runner who showed promise at two and can’t be ruled out while Harsh also showed plenty of promise on easy ground last year.

BETTING FORECAST 15-8 Homeless Songs, 5-2 Buckaroo, 11-2 Mea Domina, 13-2 Saltonstall, 8 Power Under Me, 14 Helvic Dream, 16 Georgeville, 100 Hotter Than Hades
The obvious standard-setter is Homeless Songs although ground this deep would be a concern. Buckaroo has a better chance of handling it and does go well fresh. There is no doubt on the ground though about SALTONSTALL who carried last season’s form through to an agonising defeat in the Lincoln and might have his best chance of winning one of these today.

An interesting maiden. It is interesting that Colin Keane prefers Tipsy Scholars to the stable’s Juddmonte-owned newcomer Monitola and maybe less surprising that Ryan Moore chooses Farnborough over stable companion Canute. The standard is set though by FLEETFOOT on his three summer maiden runs last year and is the one to beat if he handles the ground. [Justin O’Hanlon]

At every race meeting there are specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the wellbeing of all the horses racing. There is a vet in attendance at the start of each race who, follows the horses throughout the race and is quickly on hand if a casualty occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This allows the veterinary surgeon some privacy to fully assess the horses’ injuries and race goers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured horse. The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary.
A second veterinary surgeon is in attendance in the stable yard to assess and treat any horses requiring such attention post race.
The horses’ welfare is always our priority.

Plenty with chances here among horses with a liking for this surface. Superior Force ran a cracker at the Curragh and makes obvious appeal, as does top-weight Loingseoir after a good run here on Sunday. Handicap debutant Cavallo Pazzo and the back to form Hightimeyouwon also make plenty of appeal. A potential long shot that appeals though is MAJESTIC COLT from a stable bang in form. He is down to a very nice mark and likes cut in the ground. [Justin O’Hanlon]
