This Dubawi gelding is a brother to useful 1m-1¼m winner Intimation and half-brother to high-class 1m-1¼m winner Mutakayyef. Out of a top yard, he's one to look out for on debut.

Well beaten off in 7f maiden at this track last month, drops in trip but likely to remain up against it on evidence so far.

Power gelding who cost €48,000 as a yearling and made a decent start over this trip here a fortnight ago when beaten 2¾L into third of eight runners.

Kyllachy gelding is a half-brother to several winners and represents a top yard, one of the newcomers to note in this contest.

Sakhee's Secret filly makes debut in this and on breeding is given only a watching brief with suspicion she'll want a further test of stamina to be seen to best effect.

Improved showing here recently over 6f in second start after more than 330 days away, requires another step forward to land this.

Forecasts

Alaadel (11/10), Dirchill (9/4), Ptarmigan Ridge (5/1), Harwood (13/2), Fille The Force (12/1), Ruled By The Moon (16/1), Shelneverwalkalone (18/1), Kensington Palace (20/1)

Verdict

Those that have run do not set a searching standard, Dirchhill's effort here last time being the best on offer. He should progress from that and be in the mix, likely to confirm form with Harwood. Ptarmigan Ridge is a newcomer worth noting but the same can be said for ALAADEL who makes plenty appeal on paper and represents a trainer with a strike rate in excess of 24 per-cent with 4yos over the previous 12 months.
