Placed twice in maidens last summer, before being well held in valuable 7f Naas contest on final start. Visor added for seasonal return and should be more to come this term.
Arakan colt out of a Danetime mare related to Group 1 winners Dick Turpin and Toormore, fair start on the AW at Dundalk in December (fourth) and should offer more.
Went close in 1m AW maiden at Dundalk in January, disappointing favourite back there since however and needs to improve on previous turf form.
Thrice-raced maiden, has made presence felt in all three starts, on turf last summer and twice early this year on Dundalk's AW circuit over 7f. First attempt at the mile and should be in the firing line.
Zoffany colt has shaped with promise in three starts so far over 5f/7f, goes up to the mile and races on surface better than heavy for the first time. May improve.
Helmut colt out of a Dubai Destination mare related to multiple winners Thunder Snow, Anda Muchaco and Orewa. Poor on sole outing at Dundalk and gets a watching brief on turf bow.
Improved dramatically on two-year-old form when just edged on out in mile maiden at Gowran Park this month on soft to heavy going, having gone at 50/1. Obvious contender if repeating that form on better ground.
Society Rock gelding out of a Manduro mare related to Karl Burke-trained Group 1 winner Unfortunately. Rather tame efforts in two AW starts at Dundalk in February, plenty to work on switched to turf.
Intikhab gelding makes debut for trainer that seemingly has a decent three-year-old crop this year (7-28 so far) and worth noting here.
Son of Lethal Force purchased for £44,000 as a yearling in August 2016. Didn't transfer AW promise when making turf bow in 1m Gowran Park maiden this month. Work to do with Magnetic North on that run, may prefer this ground.
Pour Moi gelding, represents in-form Dermot Weld yard (6-19 lately) on debut and merits consideration in what looks a competitive heat.
Half-sister to winners in High Language and Newholm, and trip should be fine on debut. Yard have a fair strike rate with their three-year-old's so is worth a glance in the market.
Bated Breath filly, closely related to useful 1m winner Sir Danilo. Signs of greenness on debut and duly veered off course, unseating rider, having gone off unfancied at 25/1.
Well beaten both runs so far, latest in 6f Curragh maiden (yielding to soft) earlier this month. Needs to improve for better ground / longer trip combination today.
Filly by Dream Ahead out of a Danehill mare, related to winner Donjuan Triumphant. Didn't make a great impression on sole two-year-old outing at Dundalk over 7f. Should be more to come in time.
French import, improving in three runs for this yard and recent Cork effort (7f, good) suggests better surface will play to her strengths. One of two for the trainer in here.
Elusive Pimpernel filly, makes racecourse bow, yard been quiet of late and no shock should she come on for the outing.
Harbour Watch filly is closely related to two-year-old 5f winner Lightning Stride and 6f winner Life of Fame. Represents strong team on debut and positive showing may be anticipated.
Casamento filly whose dam was a 1m-1m4f winner, also won over hurdles. Well held this month on debut at Cork and may want further than this in time.
Thewayyouare filly out of a Polish Precedent mare related to Toast Of New York and flickers of promise on debut over 7f at Dundalk when last seen in February. Looks opposable on turf bow.

Magnetic North produced a vastly improved effort at Gowran Park on seasonal reappearance and was just denied at the line. He'll be a live contender if producing a similar effort on this better surface. The likes of Captain Vancouver and Havana Go have shown enough to merit spots on the shortlist, with any money noted, while Spirit Of Big Bang and Wentwood are newcomers to pay attention to. However, PROUD AND ELATED produced a better effort when getting good ground last time and Joseph O'Brien's French import can take another step forward here over a mile to score.
