Jockey: W J Lee Trainer: A P O'Brien Age/Wt: 2/9-7 F: 32

8/11

Comment: Promising debut effort when forcing much of pace in finishing third (head off runner-up Amiata) at Naas last month and similar tactics employed at the Curragh a fortnight later over 6f, rallying once headed when good second to a stablemate; keen-going sort drops back in trip here and stiff 5f could suit.

7/2

Comment: Speedily-bred Dark Angel colt cost 85,000gns as a yearling; strong favourite on last month's Naas debut, slow to break and green, running on again into second late on behind a Ballydoyle colt with previous experience (well held since in Group company); entitled to come on for that and major contender.

Comment: Frankel filly whose very solid 2yo form at the Curragh (7f, good) comprises an impressive maiden win and two efforts that tie her in closely with Lake Victoria, notably when 1.5l fourth in the Moyglare Stud Stakes despite traffic issues; creditable seventh in 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on return; should take some beating at this level.

Comment: First home in a barrier trial at Leopardstown last August, but still looked raw when keeping on for third on debut in a 7f maiden at Naas in September; lost her action at the Curragh on her only other start and reported slightly lame; premature to write off and longer trip here could bring improvement in a weak maiden.

Arcland

Jockey: R Whearty Trainer: Gavin Cromwell Age/Wt: 9/8-10 F: 5/8- OR: 40

6/4

Comment: Had first run for Gavin Cromwell 15 days ago when an unlucky runner-up over hurdles at Downpatrick; despite modest record on the Flat, could be thrown in off current mark; has to be considered.

Omakase

Jockey: Jessica O'Gorman Trainer: P G Fahey Age/Wt: 7/10-2 F: 7-1351 OR: 60

5/1

Comment: Off the mark with 1m4f success at Dundalk in February and creditable efforts in defeat on AW since; despite missing the break, took the step up to 16.5f in her stride when winning at Gowran (good) on latest; player from 6lb higher.

7/1

Comment: Has won under both codes; nicely clear of the rest when just missing out at Limerick (1m4f, soft to heavy) in April; best work late when third at Tipperary (12.5f, yielding to soft) 11 days ago; considered.

10/1

Comment: One of two for yard; 1-10 on AW and 0-6 on turf; won at Dundalk in March (1m4f) and stayed on well when fourth of 12 over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower; enters the discussion.

Jockey: S Coen Trainer: Kevin Michael Smith Age/Wt: 9/10-1 F: 330-84 OR: 59

14/1

Comment: Both wins on AW; returned from absence with moderate effort over C&D but improved effort four days later when 3.5l behind Omakase at Gowran (short of room late on); has to enter calculations 11lb better off factoring in rider's claims.

14/1

Comment: Couple of good efforts on the Flat last summer, including when sixth of 22 here (1m6f) off 60; some good runs in defeat over hurdles and was there with every chance when falling two out at Tipperary last month; should feature.
