So Scottish
Useful NH performer at his best; stayed on in a 1m4f Flat maiden at Bellewstown two weeks ago; this trip looks too sharp but can run respectably.

A hint of ability in sole Flat start in France; well beaten lately in maiden hurdles under exaggerated hold-up tactics; not easy to fancy.

Rated 67 after seven starts in maidens and handicaps up to 1m1f; needs to find further improvement on return for step-up in trip.

Arouet
Second foal; dam French 1m/8.5f winner, half-sister to winners Brocottes (Group placed 1m/1m1f 2yo), Allez Henri (Listed-placed 1m-1m2f) and Listan (useful French 10.5f); 52,000euros yearling is by a useful French sire; comes from a respected yard so is on the shortlist.

Seventh foal; half-brother to winners Gold Trip (1m2f-2m inc Group 1 Melbourne Cup; RPR 125), Got Wind (French Listed-placed 1m inc 2yo; 90) and Gotha (French/Belgian 10.5f/11.5f); well-bred sort but seems to be his powerful yard's second-string on debut.

Crooked Path
Has shown some promise in two maiden starts; was 4l behind Kingstonian over just short of this trip at Gowran last time; can run respectably but looks a 1m4f type in the making.

Happy Pharoah
Second foal; dam 7f-1m 2yo winner (inc dual Group 1; RPR 116), sister to Group 1 winners Gleneagles (7f-1m), Marvellous (1m) and Joan Of Arc (10.5f), out of 6f 2yo Group 2 winning sister to Giant's Causeway; top-class page but was a 30,000euros vendor buyback at the sales; still of interest and worth a market check.

Beaten 15l in a Leopardstown maiden on debut last year; was a 9l runner-up on return at Gowran over just short of this trip; was 4l in front of Crooked Path that day; needs more here but is a player.

Nautical Force
Solid efforts in maidens last year over 7f and 8f on good ground; should stay this far on breeding and might even improve for it; forecast rain may soften the ground but should go well if handling it; yard in fine form.

Waterford Flow
Posted three decent Dundalk outings over the winter from 1m-1m2f without really progressing; looks to be his powerful yard's first-string and can run well if as effective on turf; first-time tongue-tie.

Second reserve; the best of three maiden runs came on second start last autumn; was the subject of a running and riding enquiry when well below that level at Gowran on return under this rider; best wait for handicaps.
