This looks like a perfect opportunity for GUN CARRIAGE to get off the mark following an introductory third behind talented stablemate Stay True at Leopardstown. The once-raced Standard Deviation and expensive breeze-up purchase Dancingondiamonds look the pick of the opposition. [Alan Sweetman]

Tenth foal; half-brother to seven winners including multiple scorers Leshlaa, Mulzamm, and Intersection; dam 1m2f AW winner, sister to a 1m4f Group 2 winner; trainer also runs Nepal who has the benefit of experience.

E220,000 purchase at Arqana breeze-up sale in May; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners notably Mask Of Time (Australian 1m2f Group 3), out of 1 winning half-sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Miss France; tongue-tie on for debut.
A $1,250,000 yearling; second foal; withdrawn due to ground concerns on intended debut last May and did not appear at two; apprentice-ridden, raced prominently throughout before weakening into third behind stablemate Stay True on debut at Leopardstown; winner boosted the form when narrowly beaten in the Derby Trial at Lingfield.
A shade unlucky when beaten 1/2l in a 7f Dundalk maiden on debut last December; not as effective over 1m at the same venue in January; respectable sixth back at 7f at Gowran last month; vulnerable.
