Manduro gelding is a rare Flat runner for this leading jumps yard, wears tongue strap for this debut but sufficient appeal on breeding to merit a second look and promising jockey booking.
Didn't achieve much in two maiden runs for Charlie Appleby last season and has plenty to find returning now for first run in 244 days sporting first-time cheekpieces.
Well beaten off in two maiden hurdles over 2m at this venue, first attempt on the Flat and sports a tongue strap for the first time.
Vocalised gelding, half-brother to middle distance winner Spring Focus. Hasn't shown any great positives in two runs at the Curragh and Gowran Park so far and hard to put forward despite leading yard being in good form.
Better effort on second start at Navan over 1m2f last month but will need to be away from the stalls quicker if going to do himself justice.
Cost €50,000 but never looked like repaying the first instalment in either run to date, including this month over 1m5f at Navan (good). Yard have been quiet of late and easier to look elsewhere.
Improved after winter break on second start to be third of nine over 1m2f at Navan (good) beaten just over 3L in April. Represents top connections and would want to be winning this if intending on taking the Irish Derby entry he still holds.
Made no impact in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk in August (won by subsequent dual Guineas winner Winter) and has been off since. Upped in distance on return with yard going well, merits a look in the betting.
A half-sister to Derby winner Harzand, she's shown moderate ability in two starts thus far, including when beaten 7¾L over 1m4f at Tipperary last month on good to firm ground. Respected for connections and improvement isn't ruled out.
Fastnet Rock filly has been mostly disappointing in maidens to date, including at Fairyhouse this month over this trip. Second runner for Ballydoyle in this line-up.

Spanish Steps (4/6), Harrana (4/1), Mystic Traveller (4/1), Covetous (7/1), Ruby Quest (8/1), Ilikehim (16/1), Fioruisce (16/1), Mastermind (25/1), Abracadarbra (25/1), Bella Rua (25/1), Cinnabar Reds (25/1), Cubomania (33/1), Bailarico (33/1)
An open looking maiden with plenty of the top trainers represented. None more so than Spanish Steps who showed improvement on seasonal reappearance at Navan last time over this trip and should have more to give. He looks the more likely of the Ballydoyle duo for this race. Harrana, in the Derby-winning Harzand colours, ought to go better now back down in trip and is another capable of better but the vote goes to MYSTIC TRAVELLER who also posted an improved effort at Navan last time out and should be suited now going up from the mile journey. His yard are in excellent form and he may boost it still further. The once-raced Covetous is worth a check in the betting on his return to action for another yard going good guns, while the same is true of Abracadarbra, a rare Flat runner for his yard.
