Winning jumper but form on the level has been modest to say the least, well beaten off in big-field maiden at Naas over 6f recently and goes up significantly in trip now.
Pleasing debut in 2m maiden at Navan and should go well in this contest now on second start dropping down in trip for respected connections.
Form has been decent without winning over jumps and makes for an interesting recruit to this sphere, worth a market check on first Flat foray.
Ex Sir Michael Stoute inmate ran a promising race in a Dundalk maiden in December on first start for this yard and could have a big say here in first run since.
Remains a maiden after 12 runs on the Flat but has run some very promising races in that sequence and should make plenty inroads in this contest if able to repeat best form.
Bumper winner at Limerick last March, outclassed in top-level Punchestown contest in that sphere subsequently and has been off the best part of a year but merits plenty respect nonetheless.
Yet another ex-jumps performer in this line-up, scored with consummate ease in a 2m3f chase at Clonmel last month. Different test here but isn't passed over easily.
Last seen when finishing second in Tattersalls Millions at Newmarket in October 2015 behind subsequent three-time Group 1 winner Alice Springs. Has since joined the Ballydoyle team, looks a massive player in this on form if blinkers and a hood going on don't temper enthusiasm.
Didn't carry much threat in two maidens in the autumn, could do better however and trainer has been in sparkling form with her jumpers.
Not beaten far in a 2m maiden on the AW at Dundalk last month, four-time scorer in National Hunt contests and demands plenty respect coming back down in trip for this.
Danehill Dancer filly is well-related and is one to check in the market for this racecourse debut, however she is being pitched in amongst some solid rivals and ought to come on for the experience.
Well held in a 1m2f maiden at Leopardstown in July on sole previous outing, upped in trip here and will likely find things tough against more experienced rivals with promising form.
A mare out of Oscar, she makes her racecourse debut tonight and faces an arduous task based on a point-to-point outing at Kirkistown in February where she was well beaten finishing seventh of ten.

Clear Skies (7/4), Constancio (4/1), Val De Ferbet (5/1), Jack Dillinger (5/1), Song Of Namibia (7/1), Creadan (16/1), Kalopsia (20/1), The Sneaky Punter (28/1), St Lawrence Gap (33/1), Endless River (40/1), Beau Et Sublime (66/1), Lara's Theme (66/1), Nineteensixteen (66/1), Lady Shaana (100/1)
CLEAR SKIES is the likeliest winner here on her final start of 2015 at Newmarket, where she finished clear second to a 111-rated rival that has since gone on to land three Group 1 wins. She has since joined the Ballydoyle team and, if straight, ought to take all the beating in this maiden. Kalopsia is respected for the younger O'Brien connection having run well at Dundalk recently over a longer trip. Song Of Namibia returns from a break but was also noted last time out on the sand at Dundalk and definitely has the potential to get involved here while St Lawrence Gap and The Sneaky Punter complete the shortlist.

- Kalopsia
- Song Of Namibia
