Leopardstown Race 4 - Japan Racing Association Tyros Stakes (Group 3)
AIX LA CHAPELLE (1) made a winning debut over 1400m at the Curragh by 1.5L and should have plenty more to offer stepping into G3 company. Sets the standard and is a leading chance. FLORIDA BAY (2) disappointed as favourite when fourth beaten 3L attempting the Listed Pat Smullen Stakes. Earlier Fairyhouse success gives him strong claims. Main danger. FOLSOM BLUES (3) built on a Curragh debut third when powering clear by 7.5L at Gowran making latest appearance. Warrants serious consideration. NAIL HOUSE (4) scored by 0.5L attempting 1200m at Fairyhouse first time out and could progress for this longer trip. Cannot be discounted.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Naas in the LR PAT SMULLEN STAKES on July 4 over 1609m, 3 len behind Dancing Destiny carrying 60kg at $1.70. The start before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Fairyhouse June 5 over 1408m defeating Mudyrk carrying 57kg at $1.50. Key chance capable of going a lot better.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 3rd of 8 at Curragh on May 23 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Sergei Diaghilev carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Second-up favourite; won by 7 len at Gowran Park June 12 over 1408m on a soft track defeating Lunar Empress carrying 60.5kg at $1.40. Worth including.

First-starter by Calyx out of Annecy. Hard to recommend without a market push.
