Looks to improving with every run on the Polytrack and has clearly trained on. Market likely to reveal expectations on stable debut.
Beaten a total of 16L on two starts here at a mile and last time out over 7f when last seen in October. Gelded since and possibly best watched on seasonal debut.
Well beaten and never a factor on three turf starts last season. Vocalised fillies usually required plenty of time to come to hand.
No impression and looked one paced in two starts here in December and January when well beaten on both occasions. Plenty to prove here in first time cheekpieces.
Went well in 1m Naas maiden in November on soft ground but quickly backed out of things on reappearance in March at the same track before a well beaten 11th of 13 at Navan last month. Others preferred.
Beaten but not disgraced in three runs recently including last time out when third of 14 beaten 4L over C&D last month. In good shape at the moment and one to note in the betting.
Unable to halt the alarming slide in form in four starts here since the turn of the year. Vast improvement needed to figure.
Not seen since finishing eighth of 11 beaten 20L in a Naas maiden over this trip. Looks a long-term prospect.
Form here is more acceptable than on turf running well here towards the end of the year over C&D when in the hands of Johnny Murtagh. Market likely to be informative.
Will have disappointed connections in three drab performances last term including a 14L defeat at Naas when last seen in October. Will possibly need the run on comeback in first-time tongue-tie.
Not disgraced in two starts here last month when sent off at big prices. Needs to show significant improvement once again here.
Winner here when last seen over 1m2½f last month. Form over shorter leaves a little to be desired but worth a market check off a 5lb higher mark.
Genuine and tough sort who has run well here recently over six and 7f. Eighth of 10 beaten 4¾L over C&D in February and could well appreciate the step back up in trip.
First Reserve: Sent off at big prices when out the back in all five starts in maidens over different trips. Cannot be recommended on the evidence so far.

Forecasts
Queen Rabab (5/1), Rockfish (5/1), Namazee (11/2), Ragtime Red (11/2), Innamorare (8/1), Taylor Velvet (8/1), Mojambo (12/1), New Vocation (12/1), Frame Rate (14/1), Wichita Line (16/1), That's My Girl (16/1), Charmed Pearl (16/1), Flindt (20/1), Rhythm Of Love (20/1), Magsmillie (33/1), Matter Of Time (33/1), Red Robin Rock (50/1)
Ragtime Red, Taylor Velvet and Innamorare have difficult draws to overcome so it may be worth taking a chance with MOJAMBO who was running well here towards the end of the year over C&D when in the hands of Johnny Murtagh and makes his stable debut here off a handy mark. Rockfish from the Joseph O'Brien stable and Taylor Velvet can battle for the minors.
- Mojambo
