Things are likely to become clearer when the market takes shape, but a hopeful vote goes to PARIS CARVER, an expensive US breeze-up purchase. Donnacha O'Brien runs Cape Sounion and Balantina, whose experience should be an asset, while Ryan Moore's mount Beautify and Paddy Twomey's newcomer Amerilis should also enter calculations.

41,000gns F, E175,000 Y; eighth foal; half-sister to winners Heavenly Holly (Listed-placed 7f AW; RPR 98) and James Park Woods (7.5f/1m; 79); dam French 7f winner (81), half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Lily of the Valley; interesting prospect for an increasingly influential stable.
Betrayed inexperience when fourth (beaten favourite) over C&D; impressive winner is stepping up in class in the Marble Hill; can do better with the run under her belt.
Sixth foal; half-sister to winners Library (7.5f 2yo/1m2f Listed; RPR 109) and Vice President (1m2f; 93); dam 7f 2yo/1m4f Group 3 winner (105), sister to 11.6f Listed winner Nevis, half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner/Derby second US Army Ranger.
Showed definite promise when second on debut at Naas; winner Simply Astounding has since flopped when odds-on for a Group 3 event at the same venue; however, possibly wrong to read too much into that lapse.
E300,000 Y; first foal; dam 1m/9.4f winner (inc Group 2; RPR 112), half-sister to winners Dolce Strega (7f Group 3), Bumbasina (Listed-placed 1m) and Raffaello (7f/1m), out of unraced half-sister to Cesarewitch winner Darley Sun; Ryan Moore rides Beautify.
Ninth foal; half-sister to four winners; dam unraced sister to 6f 2yo winner Chroussa, half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Carrizo Creek; not one of the more likely candidates in a strong maiden.
E31,000 F, E100,000 Y; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Mathematician (1m2f/1m3f AW; RPR 84) and Marvellous Lady (9.4f AW; 61); dam runner-up 1m AW (inc 2yo; 76), half-sister to useful 5f-1m2f winner Alhaban; appears to be stable's second string.
Third foal; half-sister to winners Hasna (10.3f; RPR 89) and Hasiyna (6f AW; 73); dam 1m AW winner (69), half-sister to 7f winner Hazmiyra, out of Group-placed 1m2f winning half-sister to Derby winner Harzand; may find a few of these rivals too quick.
E60,000 Y; fourth foal; dam unraced sister to winners Iberia (useful 7f 2yo), World Famous (9.4f) and Perfect Light (8.4f/1m2f), out of 6f Group 3 winner.
$100,000 Y, $600,000 Ocala breeze-up purchase; first foal; dam US stakes-placed 5f turf 2yo winner, half-sister to US Graded stakes-placed 6f/6.5f winner McKale, out of unraced half-sister to US 7f/1m Grade 1 winner Affirmed Success; highly respected yard, could be well primed for this.
Third foal; half-sister to a winner in Italy; dam unplaced, closely related to 5f 2yo Listed winner Warsaw, half-sister to Japanese 6f 2yo Grade 3 winner Meiner Eternel.
Third foal; closely related to 1m AW winner Port Light (inc 2yo; RPR 101); dam unplaced in France, out of 6f 2yo winning half-sister to Derby winner Ruler Of The World.
