You have to respect Mission Central given that Ryan Moore is booked for Aidan O’Brien so I’ll be keeping him onside in this Maiden. Leblon Beach and Mina Bonita are the two runners who have already raced but they both look vulnerable to newcomers. Mission Central is a No Nay Never colt so he’s got a good pedigree. Keep an eye on the market on Friday night.

There should be pace in this race and the frontrunners could take each other on. That should set it up for Beano Power with Bille Lee on board. She looked promising when finishing fifth at Down Royal last year and she shaped better than the result when fourth at Dundalk over course and distance last month. She’s a little bit tricky and she needs to settle but the ability to win is there. She’s well handicapped and she should be at her peak.

I can see why Jorge Alvares’ connections have dropped him back in trip to 6f. He should be fine going left handed too but I can see him and Ze Do Asfalto battling it out at the front which will suit Temperance. She has cheekpieces on and a fast-run 6f will be ideal for her. She was second on her debut at Dundalk in February and she travelled well at Cork last week. She’ll benefit from those runs.

Bungle Inthedesert won at Dundalk last week but I’m going to stick Annie Lavinia, who I have tipped up a couple of times. If it’s ever going to come together for her, it’s on Friday. She has a tongue strap on for the first time and she has decent form. She will have come on for her seasonal debut at Dundalk last month and she can get off the mark. The small field will suit her too.

I’m siding with Drivers Seat, who has the best overall form. It’s a little surprising he’s going over this mile distance again but his form has held up after finishing fifth, third and fourth last year. He’s making his all-weather debut and he might be more straightforward than his rivals.

You can pick holes in a lot of these runners but I’ll side with Berto Ramirez. He was second at Leopardstown last year and he’s dropping in grade on Friday. He had his seasonal debut last month and he can only improve as a three-year-old. He’s got the best form in the race.

We sided with Chopsticks last time out but he was second once again! He’s hard to get right so I’m on Tyder. He has more scope to get off the mark for the Slattery yard. He was third at Dundalk last month over this 1m 2f distance and he’s running off the same mark of 49 which is more than workable.
