Blueblooded newcomers ready to put on a show at Naas on Thursday

A treasure trove of newcomers are set to grace the stage at Naas on Thursday, with three being out of top-class racemares in Ballydoyle, Rumplestiltskin and Christmas Kid.

Leinster House will attempt to kick off proceedings in the right fashion for the Aidan O'Brien team in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden (2.00) over six furlongs.

The Orpendale, Chelston & Wynatt-bred son of War Front is the second foal out of Ballydoyle, a daughter of Galileo who won the Prix Marcel Boussac in 2015 before going on to finish second to the brilliant Minding in the 1,000 Guineas.

Ballydoyle, who has produced the stakes-winning Fastnet Rock filly Monday, is a full-sister to multiple Group 1 heroine Misty For Me - the dam of top-level scorers U S Navy Flag and Roly Poly from three black-type performers - as well as Listed winner Twirl and Kilboy Estate Stakes second April Showers.

She is the eighth foal out of Butterfly Cove, a Storm Cat half-sister to Phoenix Stakes and Prix Morny winner Fasliyev.

Later on, in the seven-furlong Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden (4.55), United Nations and Olympicus are the two representatives for the Coolmore partners, the former trained at Ballydoyle by Aidan O'Brien and the latter by his son Joseph.

The Coolmore-bred United Nations is by Galileo and is the seventh foal out of Christmas Kid, a daughter of Lemon Drop Kid whose finest hour came when landing the Grade 1 Ashland Stakes at Keeneland.

Christmas Kid sold to Aisling Duignan for $4,200,000 at the 2011 Keeneland November Foals and Mares Sale, and has produced four black-type performers from six runners, including Listed scorer and National Stakes third Christmas.

Olympicus holds an equally fine pedigree, being a half-brother to Yorkshire Oaks heroine Tapestry - who downed the odds-on Taghrooda in the Knavesmire battle - and Juvenile Turf Stakes scorer John F Kennedy.

The son of Triple Crown hero American Pharoah is the seventh foal out of Rumplestiltskin, a daughter of Danehill who won the Moyglare Stud Stakes and Prix Marcel Boussac among four black-type wins for Aidan O'Brien in 2005.

Rumplestiltskin is in turn immaculately bred, being out of a Niarchos-bred full-sister to Kingmambo as well as a half-sister to Classic heroine East Of The Moon and the Group-winning Prix Maurice de Gheest runner-up Miesque's Son.

United Nations and Olympicus are set to face seven rivals including Herring Island, Lloyd Williams' son of Australia out of a half-sister to Dewhurst winner Distant Music, the Aga Khan's Rihani, a Churchill half-brother to Debutante Stakes victress Raydara, and Aryaah, Shadwell's Dandy Man half-brother to this year's Oaks runner-up Mystery Angel.
