Paddy Twomey had EAGLE OF DESTINY ready to run in a ten-furlong Flat maiden last spring. The half-sister to Irish St Leger winner Sonnyboyliston may prove equal to this different task. Galileo Sand, a half-brother to 1m Group 1 winner Amazing Maria, should make his presence felt if staying effectively. Old Bridge is another newcomer who could feature. Shabra Diya has an edge in experience that should help. [Alan Sweetman]

Gelded son out of Galileo out of a 6f AW juvenile winner; cost 140,000gns at two; tenth foal; closely related to two winners, half-brother to winners, notably the Falmouth Stakes and Prix Rothschild winner Amazing Maria; should be in the mix if he stays.
Decent pedigree; neglected in the market on debut at Punchestown, despite being partnered by Derek O'Connor who again takes the ride; held up before making some late progress to finish fifth of six with only Cholo behind.
Looked a bit raw on debut at Navan when 22l fifth of eight behind the Gordon Elliott-trained Spinningayarn; last of four at Naas though not beaten far; cheekpieces worn then, left off now; the experience of his two races should be an asset in this company.
Ninth foal; half-brother to four winners including the useful and versatile Burning Victory; dam a 6f winner and Listed-placed over 1m; stable not often associated with bumper winner but hit the target at Limerick on Thursday; top rider booked.
First foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdle/chase winner Abolitionist, out of once-raced half-sister to high-class jumper Racing Demon; in good hands.
Half-sister to winners Sonnyboyliston (Ebor/Irish St Leger), Lot Of Joy (Flat, Listed hurdle) and Dubeyeracingcraic (2m2f hurdle); dam 1m7f-2m Flat and 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner; cost 175,000euros as a yearling; was reported to be suffering from an allergy when missing an engagement in a 1m2f maiden at Cork last May; top rider booked.
