Verdict

STAR PERFORMER gets the vote on debut for Joseph O'Brien, whose yard remains in excellent form. A 160,000-euro breeze-up purchase for Michael Tabor, the daughter of Sea The Stars has the pedigree and connections to make an immediate impact under Dylan Browne McMonagle. White Sand Beach has had nine starts and an official rating of 81. She continues to knock on the door, including when runner-up at Killarney on Monday, and she is respected, along with stable companion Cape Primrose, who showed promise last year behind Green Carrera but is yet to show that level of form in two outings this year.

Top Tip: Star Performer (4)
Watch out for: White Sand Beach (8)

WHITE SAND BEACH is in danger of becoming a bit frustrating but she has been highly tried and should have too much class for this line up. She is the choice of Ryan Moore ahead of Cape Primrose whose reappearance run has been franked several times at Group level. Mathoura has shaped with promise on both starts so far and her latest run has been franked so she should also be on the premises.
