Showed some ability on only start last term and looks the sort to do better this campaign. Bred to stay well and should appreciate the 3f step up in trip.
72,000 gns yearling who shaped with promise on only his second start at Naas last autumn. Another who should be alright this term with the longer trip likely to bring about further improvement.
Holds an entry in the Group 1 Investec Derby but after running well to finish second on his racecourse bow at the Curragh last term he disappointed when beaten a long way at Naas recently and needs to get back on track - which is quite possible.
Kept on late at Roscommon in August on last start and looks the type to do better once handicapped. Might find it tough in this company.
Interestingly bred daughter of Dutch Art who shaped with some promise when third at Dundalk over a mile in February. Up to winning a race of this nature and looks a major player.
Made debut last term in Group 3 company suggesting connections rated her, but only finished fifth. Fourth (but beaten a long way) in maiden on seasonal bow. Open to improvement but wears a hood and may not be 100 per-cent straight forward.
Shown very little in two starts so far and likely to find today's opposition far too hot to handle. Better when handicapped.
Slowly away and never a factor on debut at Naas recently. Too early to write her off but may again find herself struggling at this level.

Forecasts
Inca Gold (6/4), Pocketfullofdreams (5/2), Katouna (9/2), Caherdaniel (5/1), Naughty Or Nice (6/1), Guido Reni (7/1), Hillcrest Fire (20/1), Run For The Roses (66/1), The Lady Tam (100/1)
KATOUNA caught the eye when running nicely to finish third on her debut and may be good enough to get off the mark at just the second time of asking. The step up in trip looks the right call for Guido Reni who shaped well on his only start to date, while Caherdaniel cannot be ruled out of the reckoning and looks the sort to keep on the right side. Although hailing from a top yard, Pocketfullofdreams has something to prove and, while not discounted, looks a risky proposition.
- Katouna
- Caherdaniel
- Guido Reni
