Confucius
CONFUCIUS was unable to reproduce his Coventry form when a close third in the Anglesey Stakes here but that came just 11 days after his run at Royal Ascot so is well worth another chance. His stablemate Carry The Flag is a potential threat back at 6f, while Immortal Guard finished just in front of Confucius in the Anglesey.

1,700,000 gns yearling who was an unlucky second on debut before going one better in decisive fashion at Cork. Progressed again when sixth of 21 in Coventry at Royal Ascot but unable to land odds when ½-length third (head behind Immortal Guard) in C&D Group 3 weeks ago. Worth another chance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh6f 63yGood to FirmFlat3/5Ascot6fGood to FirmFlat6/21Naas5f 205yGoodFlat1/7Curragh5fSoft to HeavyFlat2/8- 2(6)CeleronJ: Oisin MurphyT: M. D.

€100,000 Persian Force colt who landed a gamble in a C&D maiden on debut. Ran at least as well when third (Carry The Flag second) in C&D Group 3 before good second (ahead of Confucius) in Anglesey Stakes here.

Caught only late by subsequent Coventry winner Great Barrier Reef in Marble Hill over C&D. Disappointed in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot but quickly back on track when narrow winner of Naas listed event 2 weeks ago. Return to 6f will suit and first-time headgear could also help sharpen him up.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNaas5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/10Ascot5fGood to FirmFlat9/21Curragh6fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat2/7Naas5fGoodFlat1/7Curragh5fSoftFlat2/6- 5(3)Switching SidesJ: Shane FoleyT: Mrs J.

Kodiac colt. Dam, third at 1½m, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner (stayed 1m) Besharah. Encouraging second of 8 in traditionally strong 6f Curragh maiden on debut though was made to work hard to go one better at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago. More needed.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFairyhouse6fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat1/17Curragh6fGoodFlat2/8- 7(7)TribecaJ: C. T. KeaneT: Robson De Aguiar, Ireland10Age 212/112/111/1

575,000 gns yearling, Blue Point colt. Dam, 1¼m winner, sister to smart 9f/1¼m winner Carla Bianca. Looked a good prospect when coming from off the pace to make a winning debut in maiden at Navan. Struggled in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot (geed up beforehand) but remains with potential.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot5fGood to FirmFlat14/21Navan5f 180yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Flat1/8- 6(2)The ScallionatorJ: Wesley JoyceT: Michael Mulvany, Ireland4210Age 233/133/140/1
