14.10 Leopardstown, Listed, €40,000, 3yo/up, 8fT
CAIRO (IRE) (Quality Road) makes his return to the track after a five-month absence in this Listed Bahrain Turf Club Knockaire S., with his last start being a second to stablemate Paddington (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas. Also successful in the G3 Killavullan S. here 12 months ago, the relative of Gustav Klimt (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) faces nine rivals tackling deep ground that will test his fitness.

HOW THEY FARED

16.46 Leopardstown, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, c/g, 8fT
Blackpool (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the first runner for the G1 1000 Guineas, G1 Nassau S. and G1 Matron S. heroine Legatissimo (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), put up a sound debut effort in fourth behind his mightily impressive stablemate Ocean Of Dreams (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}).

13.20 Leopardstown, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, f, 7f 23yT
Azada (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), the half-sister to Australian champion and sire The Autumn Sun (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), earned TDN Rising Star status with this taking debut in difficult conditions.

13.55 Leopardstown, Mdn, €16,000, 2yo, c/g, 7f 23yT
Moyglare Stud's Dermot Weld-trained debutant Spoken Truth (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), a full-brother to last year's G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Homeless Songs (Ire), made headway from off the pace in the straight and finished one length and two heads behind the winner in fourth.

BLACKPOOL (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is an exciting newcomer for Aidan O'Brien in a maiden he has targeted with some smart types in recent times, being the third foal and first runner out of the G1 1000 Guineas, G1 Nassau S. and G1 Matron S. heroine Legatissimo (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). He is one of a trio from the Ballydoyle stable which unleashed Galileo's Bolshoi Ballet (Ire) in 2020, including another son of that much-missed sire in Double Agent (Ire), a full-brother to the triple group 2 winner and G1 Yorkshire Oaks runner-up Free Wind (Ire).

AZADA (IRE) (Siyouni {Fr}) is a significant debutante for The Aga Khan and Dermot Weld, being a half-sister to the five-times group 1 hero and sire The Autumn Sun (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}). Weld has won four of the last 10 renewals of this maiden, including two of the last three with this owner-breeder's runners including 12 months ago with the subsequent G1 Irish 1000 Guineas fourth Tarawa (Ire) (Shamardal).

SPOKEN TRUTH (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) is another notable newcomer from the Dermot Weld stable on this intriguing card, being the fourth foal out of Moyglare's excellent producer Joailliere (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who provided the operation with last year's brilliant G1 Irish 1000 Guineas winner Homeless Songs (Ire) also by Frankel. Also responsible for the listed scorer and G2 Champions Juvenile S. third Reve De Vol (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), the homebred meets a Ballydoyle outsider in the similarly-unraced Autumn Winter (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a Peter Brant homebred son of his triple graded-stakes winner and multiple grade I-placed Quidura (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}).
