By Zebedee out of a Bachelor Duke mare related to Spring Loaded, Magical Memory and recent winner Global Tango. Dwelt and always in rear on debut over 6f at this track and needs to do much better in first-time cheekpieces.
US-bred colt who is a half-brother to four winners over a variety of distances. Represents a good yard on debut and should be monitored in the betting.
Has had plenty of chances and has reached the frame only twice in 10 starts. Not disgraced over 6f at this track last time, but profile suggests he will struggle against the best of these rivals.
Little show in four starts on turf. His hopes hinge on this first AW appearance and the application of blinkers having a galvanising effect.
Had the misfortune to run into Derby favourite Saxon Warrior a couple of starts ago, but was not disgraced and then ran well to be second over C&D. Brings good form into a maiden and looks the one to beat.
Elusive Pimpernel colt who cost only €2,000 as a yearling. One to watch on debut unless the market speaks in his favour.
Choisir colt who cost €62,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to 7f winner Double Fast. Likely to need this racecourse bow, but worth a market check.
Daughter of Kodiac who was purchased for €12,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to recent bumper winner Article Fifty. Expected to need this first outing.
Sepoy filly who fetched €45,000 as yearling and is a half-sister to a couple of winners from 6f to 1m2f. Failed to land a blow on debut over C&D, but jockey booking suggests better is expected.
Arakan filly who was well beaten on debut over C&D. Needs to have derived plenty from that experience if she is to get involved.
Dream Ahead filly out of a Gone West mare from the family of St Leger winner Mutafaweq. Nice pedigree and is worth noting on debut for top stable.
Failed to beat a rival in two starts for Richard Hannon in England. Clearly needs to up her game for new connections.
Fastnet Rock filly who cost 60,000 gns as a yearling and is a sister to useful 7f-1m winner Fastnet Tempest. Signs of ability when mid-division in Naas maiden on debut and should improve.
Society Rock filly who fetched 18,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Squats among others. Last of 14 over C&D on debut and can only be watched for the time being.

Port Lions (8/11), Zihba (15/8), Matter Of Time (6/1), Dancing Lady (11/1), Queen Rabab (20/1), Irish Minister (25/1), Itschessnotchekers (25/1), Ishigati (25/1), Rock In Society (25/1), Annie Ok (33/1), Tempestua (33/1), Sovereigns Rock (40/1), Spittal Field (50/1), Flemings Hill (66/1), Moorepark Lad (66/1), Night Myth (80/1), Hen Party (100/1)
Irish Minister and Ishigati look the most likely debutants and are worth a look in the betting, but this is probably best left to PORT LIONS, who looks the form choice and has proved his ability to act on this surface. Queen Rabab and Dancing Lady may improve on their debut displays.
