Most Improved colt, cost €32,000 as a foal, 10,000 gns as a yearling and €19,000 as a Breeze-Up purchase. Half-brother to four winners around this trip and dam an AW winner. Yard yet to have a winner and opposable in first-time cheekpieces on debut.
Galileo colt, brother to Listed winner Easter and dam a Listed winner as a juvenile. Appealing pedigree but yard's debutantes often need their first outing.
Iffraaj colt, half-brother to Group 3 winner Heeraat and dam a half-sister to Group 1 winner Malhub. Has run well on both outings without managing to place and has an experience edge of many of these and can't be ruled out for a yard in form.
Street Cry colt, cost $70,000 as a yearling. Fair pedigree and ran okay on debut at the Curragh but yard rarely have juvenile winners and the trainers only had one winner from his last 108 runners.
Red Jazz gelding, cost €32,000 as a foal. Half-brother to four winners, largely around sprint trips. Well beaten and looked green on debut. Will do better with time but seemingly the second-string on jockey bookings here.
Data Link gelding, cost $10,000 as a yearling. Seemingly bred for dirt so may enjoy this surface but not a good sign that he's already been gelded. Others arrive with stronger claims.
Having his eighth outing but he will find this race much easier than some of the recent contests. Sets a solid standard for the remainder to aim at here and may enjoy this surface on AW debut, having already run well on fast ground.
Rock Of Gibraltar gelding, cost €7,500 as a foal. Half-brother to juvenile 5f winner Crystal Court and dam a half-sister to juvenile Listed winners Champlain and Clare. Well beaten at this course on debut over 6f when a 66/1 shot and may need time.
Gio Ponti colt, cost $80,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to four winners including Grade 2 winner Pick Of The Litter and dam a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Wild Syn. Showed nothing on debut at the Curragh and needs to leave that form well behind.
Liaison colt, cost $40,000 as a foal and $80,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to two winners including Group 3 winner Great White Eagle. Worth respecting on debut but looks bred for speed more than middle distances.
Galileo colt, cost €200,000 as a yearling. Dam a Group 2 winner over this trip and half-sister to Listed winner. Stayed on well on debut when eighth of 16 at the Curragh and while the step up in trip should suit, he may be better over further.
Lilbourne Lad gelding, cost €6,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to two winners and dam a winner over this trip. Beaten a long way on first two outings and while he should be suited by the step up in trip he has plenty to find on form.
Nathaniel colt, cost £60,000 as a yearling. Half-brother to Listed winner Lake Waipu and dam a juvenile Group 2 winner. Plenty to like about his pedigree and ran well on debut in a Curragh maiden when eighth of 14. Should progress again.
Scat Daddy colt, cost 180,000 gns as a yearling. Has produced a couple of respectable efforts on first two starts but didn't really improve on second run. May do better over this longer trip. First Reserve.

The Kid Bobby B (2/1), Prepare For Battle (11/4), El Greco (7/2), Medal Of Honour (9/2), Platinum Warrior (13/2), Leaderboard (8/1), Joust (8/1), Papa Stour (14/1), Pienta (25/1), Namazee (50/1), Lucky Red (50/1), Magical Link (66/1), Easkey Lad (66/1), Storm Has Broken (100/1), Milestown (100/1)
MEDAL OF HONOUR may be the one to side with despite the fact he's more exposed than his rivals and he's sure to appreciate this drop in class. Platinum Warrior produced a respectable debut effort and needs considering if he progresses from that. Prepare For Battle is an interesting debutante for the Aidan O'Brien yard and any market support for the colt should be noted.
