Failed to build on a couple of promising starts at Dundalk on the AW in the spring when generally well held at Tipperary and the Curragh recently. Others preferred.
Six-race maiden who has been well held in four turf starts to date. Liable to find one of two quicker here.
Career best run came on his second start in a Down Royal maiden in June when third of nine beaten 2¾L on good to firm ground. Well beaten since and others hold stronger claims here.
Well held and not a great deal to get excited about in three career starts to date. First time cheekpieces unlikely to produced enough improvement to play a role here.
Four race maiden with three defeats coming over 7f. Vast improvement needed to figure here now dropped in trip.
Has showed steady promise and improvement since debut run in May. Not beaten far recently and entitled to make the shortlist.
Improved to clock a career best in a Navan 5f maiden when last seen in July. Market to be informative on fourth start.
Xtension filly out of a Darshaan mare related to the likes of Dalakhani and Mutamam. Out of sorts recently and this looks a tough ask.
Gregorian filly who cost 800gns as a foal. Plenty to prove following three dismal career starts to date.
$20,000 purchase from first crop of Kentucky Derby and Dubai World Cup winner Animal Kingdom. Nothing of note in three career starts as yet and eaily passed over.
Shown next to nothing in two starts only beating one rival home at 66/1 on each occasion before finishing last of eight beaten 24L at Cork last month.
Filly by Elzaam out of a Mujadil mare related to sturdy types Clem Fandango and Mjjack. Beaten only 2¾L in a Curragh 6½f handicap last month but needs to improve on that run once again here.
Never a factor in a couple of starts over 5f in the spring before a 14L 10th of 12 defeat at the Galway festival over 7f. Watching brief dropping back in trip.

Chernish (4/1), Rangefield Express (9/2), Dancing Mountain (8/1), Rest Bay (8/1), So Familiar (9/1), Cozy Sky (9/1), Kodi Dream (10/1), Man Of The Sea (10/1), Ascot Dreamer (12/1), Emily Grace (14/1), Meryems Way (20/1), Me Well (25/1), Nikeandnemesis (25/1), Merida (33/1)
With most of these juveniles out of form in the early parts of their careers it may be better to side with the likes of the solid and improving CHERNISH who can open her account at the sixth time of asking for trainer Fozzy Stack. The speedy gelding Rangefield Express and the potentially progressive Dancing Mountain appear to be the biggest dangers while Emily Grace could out-run her odds in the opening contest.
