Maiden after 12 starts and well beaten on soft ground over 7f at Tipperary in May. Beaten on a couple of visits here and best watched returning from a break on this occasion.
By Dark Angel out of a Spectrum mare. Half-brother to multiple winners Sovereign Debt and Gabriel. Well held in a couple of poor performances to date and plenty to prove here.
Elzaam gelding out of a Arakan mare. Cost £14,000 as a yearling half-brother to winners Mutahaady and Black Isle Boy. Looks a long-term prospect.
€12,000 Elzaam half-brother to winners in Italy and Slovakia. Well down the field on a couple of dismal career starts to date and easily passed over.
Not much to shout about in four career starts to date including when last seen here in October over C&D. Very little to be positive about.
Gelding by Dandy Man out of a Fasliyev mare. Half-brother to stout types Stonecrabstomorrow, Putin and Salient. May be a sort to need some time.
Daughter of Tamayuz out of a Van Nistelrooy mare. Cost a modest 5,000gns as a yearling. Market likely to reveal expectations.
Dutch Art filly out of a Whipper mare. Half-sister to the smart Johnny Barnes. Market likely to be informative on debut.
Has produced a couple of promising displays at Limerick and at the Galway festival recently in much stronger contests. Trainer appears to have found an ideal opening here with first-time cheekpieces a positive.
Dam won over 5f, but this Choisir filly cost just €1,300 as a foal. Has failed to beat any of her 35 rivals home in two career starts to date and others readily preferred.
Casamento filly out of a Diktat mare. Half-sister to Cascadia and recent Ayr winner Kings Gift. Market most likely to be best guide.
Society Rock filly, half-sister to two winners including a Listed winner. Dam a juvenile winner over this trip. Improvement needed on miserable debut run at the Curragh.
Third Reserve: Bargain basement buy at just 1,500gns although she is a daughter of Shamardal and full sister to a French 1m1f winner. Last but one on debut at the Galway festival and likely to need the run here.

Trainer Fozzy Stack looks to have found an ideal opening for IIEX EXCELSA to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking here in the closing race of the night. The filly produced a couple of promising displays at Limerick and at the Galway festival recently in much stronger contests and can see off the interest from potential improvers Tintoretto and Kendwar. Country Garden, Dromana and Newlyn appear to be the best of the newcomers.
