Former Sir Michael Stoute inmate ran better last time on second start for this yard when sixth of 17 in a similar race at Leopardstown. Suspect 1m on the sharp side but still capable of being involved.
Third of seven in a 6f Maisons Laffitte maiden in May for John Hammond, that his lone start. Hard to gauge that form but no reason on pedigree he won't stay so wouldn't rule him out.
20L eighth of 14 over C&D a couple of weeks ago after a similarly moderate effort at Fairyhouse on debut. Hard to fancy until he hits handicaps.
9¼L fifth of 14 here on debut two weeks ago over C&D. Ought to build on that promise and every chance he is involved at the business end tonight.
8,500 gns yearling by Excelebration is a half-brother to two winners over 7f to 2m and 2m5f over hurdles. Not many of trainers debutants feature so best watched despite top jockey booking.
Fastnet Rock newcomer is a brother to a 1m2½-1m4f winner. Wears cheek-pieces and a tongue-tie on debut. Trainers two-year olds generally progress for first race.
Had a layoff since lone race at Ballinrobe in July where he was beaten 35L. Can't make a case for him.
Unplaced in seven flat and a recent hurdle race. Much shorter trip today but hard to see encouragement.
Shown next to nothing in eight unplaced career runs. Hard to see that statistic changing.
Encouraging fourths in both races last year (only 3¾L behind G1 winner Hydrangea second time out). Disappointed over 7f here back in May and off since so maybe had a problem. This trip will suit better and if she is ready she has leading claims.
Eighth of 17 on debut at Leopardstown a week ago saw her 1L behind more experienced Mokhalad. Ought to improve past that rival and has each-way claims.
If her first run was uninspiring her latest was positively woeful when tailed off at Fairyhouse. Impossible to recommend based on that.
Three placed runs so far in six starts (all over further). 5¼L fifth here last time was one of the better pieces of form but draw isn't helpful and others open to more improvement.
Ninth of 18 beaten 18L when slowly in to stride in a Navan 1m maiden in September. Jockey booking noted and while she isn't expected to feature she may well better that effort.

A chance is taken on the fitness of the well bred LIGHT LAUGHTER here. Dermot Weld's charge showed plenty of potential last summer but has obviously been held up since. Harmonyofthestars ran promisingly here on debut and should feature with the benefit of that experience under his belt. Cagey is very much a dark horse and showed enough ability on debut to merit respect.
