Lightly-raced and proving consistent until losing his action and eased over 1m4f at Dundalk in September. May have more to offer this year and suited by drop back in trip on reappearance.
Disappointed on last start in the Irish Lincoln following two solid thirds at Dundalk. Consistent performer previously so likely will bounce back and be competitive.
Won four from 16 for Richard Hughes and sold to new connections for 47,000gns. Finished off life in the UK with a career-best win and should still have more to offer. Suited by the conditions, goes well fresh and can be involved.
Improving type last season with notably good performances in October with a Navan win and a Galway second. Below-par at Naas on final reappearance. May need to progress again of his current mark but remains one to keep on the right side of.
Useful over hurdles and remains lightly-raced on the Flat following just six starts. Well-tried over further last year when runner-up in the Irish Cesarewitch and then eighth in the November Handicap at Naas. May need the run over a trip this sharp.
Veteran remains competitively weighted at 1lb below last winning mark. Tends to need the run and this trip may just stretch his stamina reserves.
Maiden winner who remains lightly-raced after six starts. More needed but open to improvement on reappearance and pedigree suggests this step up in trip may suit.
Maiden winner returned with a promising run when staying on late over a mile at Navan last month. On a good mark and worth another try at this trip. Looks a leading contender.
Dante, Derby and Irish Derby entry ran into some smart types on his first two starts before demolishing his rivals in a Thurles maiden in October. Very imposing physically and looked the type to improve again at three. Should go close.
Two wins from 21 starts but 13lb higher than the last of them. Likes to lead and remains in form while he will appreciate a return to turf, however others probably better handicapped.
Highly progressive last year with a maiden win and a good second on handicap debut, however was very disappointing when never getting involved on reappearance and has questions to answer.
Colt by Galileo out of an Invincible Spirit mare and holds all the big entries. Progressive in three starts last year getting off the mark finally at Naas in easy style. Looks a smart prospect up in trip this campaign.

Constantinople (9/4), Turnberry Isle (11/4), Davids Charm (5/1), Future Proof (8/1), Wentwood (10/1), See Of Rome (12/1), Agent Zigzag (14/1), Zander (14/1), Aussie Valentine (18/1), Twenty Times (18/1), Vocal Music (20/1), Boho (25/1), Dream Walker (33/1)
The Coolmore pair Turnberry Isle and CONSTANTINOPLE look exciting prospects following last season's easy maiden wins and both would be wanting to make a big impression here if they are to go on to bigger things. There's plenty of good handicappers in opposition of which Future Proof looks well weighted and has fitness assured.
