Well beaten in two maiden events last year. Top jockey booked here but likely to fair better once tackling handicap company
Well beaten in two mile maiden events at Dundalk so far. Makes turf debut here but likely to do better in time.
Finished eighth of nine on debut over 6f here in September and well beaten at Limerick stepped up 1f in distance next time out. Trainer has a 50% strike-rate (3/6) of late but looks up against it here.
Unraced gelded son of Sinndar. Half-brother to French Listed winner Usuaia Quatz but probably best watched on debut in this.
Finished well held in two 1m Navan maiden events last year when sent off big prices, likely to fair better once handicapping.
Unraced son of Pivotal. Purchased for 70,000 gns as a foal and a half-brother to dual Listed winner Cornwallville. Represents top connections here and interesting on debut.
Beaten 26L over 6f on his only outing of 2016 on soft-to-heavy ground here in October. Makes his debut for a new yard here.
Held up for much of the race and shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when finishing runner-up over 7f at The Curragh on only start in June. Absence since is a slight concern but likely to run well for leading connections.
Signs of promise when 6¼L sixth of 14 on debut over 7f at Dundalk in October. Disappointed at the same track over this trip subsequently and has been gelded since.
Well held in two maiden events over 7f on turf last season. The most recent of those came at Down Royal in July and probably best watched on first start since being gelded.
Finished runner-up on both starts as a juvenile including when second of 17 having been sent off favourite over 7f at Leopardstown in October. Interesting to see how he fares over this trip for the first time.
Well beaten in three maiden races last season including over 1m1f at Tipperary in October. Looks likely to fair better in handicap company further down the line.
Hung left when finishing third of five on debut over 7f at Wolverhampton in January. Interesting on his turf debut with a good jockey in the saddle.
Made the frame on each of his two outings as a two-year-old. Finished third last time out over 7f at Limerick. Interesting runner here but a place looks more likely than a win.
Unraced son of Sea The Stars. Half-brother to dual Listed winner Tarana out of a mare who was a Listed winner herself. Represents a leading stable here and likely to run well on debut.
Unraced gelded son of Dandy Man. Half-brother to dual Flat winner Enter The Indian (also successful over hurdles) and winning hurdler Daggers Bond. Likely to benefit from this experience.
Well beaten in two outings over 7f last year including when 16L 13th of 18 at Leopardstown last time out. Likely to fare better in time.
Raced prominently when finishing in the frame on final two maiden outings of 2016. Latest of those came when third of 25 at The Curragh in October. Has also placed over 1m1f and likely to go well once more.
Unraced daughter of Cape Cross. Half-sister to dual Group 3 winner Karaktar and also to Listed-placed Karatash. Represents a top stable here but looks the yard's second string on jockey booking's.
Held up in a seven runner Group 3 event over 1m at The Curragh when making her debut in August 2016. Was purchased expensively (€550,000) as a yearling and is a half-sister to the Group 2 winner The Juliet Rose. Likely to prove hard to beat in first time hood here.

FEATHERY ran well when beaten a head on her penultimate outing over 1m1f on soft-to-heavy ground at Tipperary in October last year. Representing a top stable she followed that up with a good third in a 25 runner contest at The Curragh over 7f and she is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt here. The unraced Toursoun is taken to be best of the remainder for a leading yard though is ultimately likely to be better over further in time. Inca Gold is taken to finish third in this having finished second at The Curragh on his only start over 7f back in June while his stablemate's Orderofthegarter and Pocketfullofdreams are also likely to run well in this.
