| 2nd | 1 | 6 |
Confucius (C)
Foaled April 24. 1,700,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to 7f winner Alfareqa and it'll naturally be interesting to see what the market has to say, though Ryan Moore prefers New Yorker.

Edward Thatch (C)
FAV
Foaled March 13. €45,000 foal, €70,000 yearling. Dam unraced sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Iberia out of smart winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner) Beauty Bright. One to note in the betting.

Lars Soldier (C)
Fetched just €3,500 yearling but he's bred to be precocious and showed ability when fourth of 7 on debut over C&D last month. Will be more streetwise this time but may prove vulnerable to some of the blue-blooded newcomers.

Wesley Joyce | M Mulvany | 2 | 60.3 kg |

| 5th | 4 | 5 |
New Mexico (C)
Foaled March 8. Cost 105,000 gns yearling and he's out of a 6f winner. Jockey bookings suggest that Edward Thatch is the stable first-string but worth a second look in the betting nonetheless.

New Yorker (C)
Foaled March 25. No Nay Never colt out of a 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs) who most notably won the Flying Five Stakes and finished third in July Cup. Lots to like on paper and he's Ryan Moore's pick of the Ballydoyle duo.

Santo Parvenue (C)
Foaled April 15. 1,000 gns foal, €7,000 yearling. Brother to 7f winner Toy Soldier and his dam was a winner over the same trip. Doesn't have the look of a probable first-time-out winner on paper.

Santorini Storm (C)
Foaled March 18. €20,000 yearling. Brother to 5f/6f winner World of Darcy and his dam was a 6f winner. Market should point the way.

Two Brigade (C)
Foaled February 2. Invincible Army colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 5f winner Catch Cunningham and 2-y-o 6f winner Palenville. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Leigh Roche | M O'Callaghan | 2 | 60.3 kg |

Fiery Anne (F)
Foaled April 18. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f winner Kendaya and 7f winner Urban Soul. Yard's record with 2-y-os suggests that this one is probably best watched.
