Royal Navy Ship leads three Aidan O'Brien runners in the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.
The exciting youngster was a $500,000 purchase at Fasig-Tipton in August last year and repaid a fraction of that when making a winning debut at the Curragh earlier this month in the hands of Seamie Heffernan.
Heffernan rode the War Front colt as Joseph O'Brien partnered Jacobean, who ran on to be second.
Punters will be taking close note of how Royal Navy Ship runs with a view to the chance of Jacobean in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster, which is due off 40 minutes later.
O'Brien also saddles Ask Me Nicely and Cocoon.
Ask Me Nicely remains a maiden and would look to have plenty to do, but Cocoon has useful form to her name, finishing second to subsequent Fillies' Mile-winning stablemate Together Forever last time out.
Jim Bolger's Steip Amach bids to lose her maiden tag at the fourth time of asking and could have more to offer, having kept good company to date.
