Amadeus Mozart (C)
Made plenty of appeal on paper and landed the odds in 10-runner maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut last summer, getting the better of a stablemate who went on to score at Group 3 level. Improved on that form when second of 5 in 1¼m …

Causeway (C)
FAV
Is progressing in leaps and bounds, completing a hat-trick fitted with first-time cheekpieces in 7-runner listed race at this course (1m, good) 19 days ago, keeping on well. Will be suited by at least 1¼m and open to further improvement.

Mr Vettori (C)
[P1]
Got off the mark in 1m maiden at Gowran in October and bettered that form on his seasonal return when second of 4 in 1¼m conditions event at Cork. Possibly found race coming too soon when well held in the Chester Vase subsequently, but thi…

Shaihaan (C)
Showed progressive form as a juvenile and put his experience to good use when running out of a convincing winner of 1¼m maiden at the Curragh on return. That form is proving strong but he seemed to be undone by the rise in class at Leopard…

Shosholoza (C)
Made a winning debut in 9f Tipperary maiden and advanced his form when fifth of 10 in Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud later in October. Probably needed the run when beating only one home in Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown (1¼m) on …

South Island (C)
Course maiden winner who fared better than on his previous outing at this level when 3½ lengths sixth of 9 in Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown (1¼m, soft) on reappearance 41 days ago. Remains vulnerable to more progressive types, though.

Zia Zabel (C)
Built on the promise shown at 2 yrs when justifying support in 9-runner minor event at Cork (1m, good to soft, 10/3) 29 days ago, staying on well. This demands more but shaped as if he'll be suited by this longer trip.

Alphecca (F)
Ended last season on the up, recording back-to-back wins in a Killarney maiden and valuable series final at Naas in October. Possibly needed the run in 1m handicap at Naas on reappearance but seemed to be found out in better company here l…

Drop Dead Gorgeous (F)
Dubawi half-sister to numerous winners, including 2000 Guineas/Irish 2000 Guineas winner Gleneagles, and settled things in a matter of strides when making a winning debut at Naas (1m) in March. Shaped best when third of 8 in course Group 3…
