Gelding by Bushrager out of a Grand Lodge mare. Closely related to course winner Commander Won. Must improve upped in distance from recent debut here (seventh).
Bashkirov colt, dam an unraced half-sister to 1m2f winner Yellow Rock. May need this debut experience.
Has had 11 chances to open the account and unable to do so. Will run fair race seemingly but vulnerable again.
Failed to meet market expectations when an inmate of Ballydoyle. Has talent and supporters likely getting more value for their money in the betting now he's joined new handler.
Third in all three starts on the Flat so far on turf, also run well over hurdles. Tackles AW for the first time and has claims again.
Well held over C&D on debut last month having gone off at 33/1. Needs sizeable chunk of improvement to get competitive.
Hasn't looked a winner in waiting in two turf runs so far, likely one for handicaps in time and best watched on AW bow.
Frozen Power gelding out of a Revoque mare. Massive price on debut here this month and unable to get a telling blow in. Up in trip now, hard to recommend.
New Approach gelding, runner-up three times in four starts Saeed bin Suroor in Britain. Same story last month over C&D on debut for this trainer and has run well again since over shorter. Big player on form. Cheekpieces added.
100/1 chance in both starts so far at Listowel and Thurles. Will need a sizeable improvement on AW bow to get involved.
Made good start for Gavin Cromwell when third here over 1m2½f last time (Wajaaha fourth). Filly has also run fair race here in Listed company this winter and is on the shortlist now.
Long way behind Wajaaha in one run here, make little appeal ahead of this third start and likely fares better in handicaps with some time.
Hail filly, dam a maiden, yard knows how to get one ready first time but likely going to benefit from this run.
Filly by Red Jazz out of a Zilzal Zamaan. Showed some promise in maidens here earlier this year at up to 1m. Lost her way now, refusing to race at Roscommon in June and pulled up over hurdles at Roscommon in August. Back from a break, new trainer.

Wajaaha has been consistent on both sides of the Irish Sea so far and should go well but he's got that nasty habit of finding something to beat him. CIAO was in front of him here on her first start after joining Gavin Cromwell and, with experience in Listed class, she can stay ahead of him now and break her duck. World Stage is another sufferer of second-itis, but he's still considered a threat having left Aidan O'Brien. Black Noah completes the shortlist.
