Improved markedly on debut fourth when finishing runner-up over 7f at Down Royal (good-to-yielding) last week. Kicked clear prior to being headed late on on that occasion and likely to play a leading role here.
Lost his action when finishing last of 13 on debut at Gowran Park (good) over this trip a month ago. Others make more appeal here.
Two solid efforts so far most recently when finishing third of 12 over this distance on soft ground at Roscommon in June. One for the shortlist in this contest.
Unraced son of George Vancouver purchased for €70,000 at the breeze-up sales in May. Represents a stable who have already tasted success with their juveniles at this meeting and worth a check in the market here.
Beaten a short-head over C&D on soft ground earlier this week. Put a disappointing effort at The Curragh on debut behind him on that occasion and interesting if recovered from that latest effort.
Well beaten on both starts so far including when sixth here on Friday evening. Probably best watched in this contest.
Finished fourth of 11 at Down Royal (good-to-yielding) last week on her most recent outing. Has a bit to find with Darkolva on that running and others make more appeal here.
Encountered trouble in running when finishing tenth of 18 on her debut over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June. Probably best watched upped to this trip for the first time.
Best effort so far came when fifth at Down Royal (good-to-yielding) over 7f last time out. Wears a tongue tie for the first time today.
Well held in all three outings so far most recently over 7f at Leopardstown (good-to-firm) in June. Probably best watched on her return from a break.
Two decent efforts so far most recently when sixth of 16 at The Curragh (good) in May. Stable having an unusually quiet Festival and are 0/22 in recent weeks.

Forecasts
Quizical (5/2), Darkolva (10/3), Captain Vancouver (9/2), Yulong Gold Fairy (5/1), Vocal Music (7/1), River Boyne (10/1), Dragon Girl (14/1), Brass Button (25/1), Africa Prado (33/1), Magnetic North (33/1), Ten Bears (33/1), Stormy Tale (66/1)
DARKOLVA stepped up on his debut effort when finishing runner-up last time out and he can break his maiden at the third time of asking in this 7f event. The selection hails from the stable of Joseph O'Brien and can get the better of Vocal Music who ran well on soft ground when finishing third at Roscommon last time. River Boyne who put in a decent effort on debut can claim third today.
