7/1
Dual distance winner will have disappointed connections when finishing 20L adrift of the winner Mr Everest at Naas when last seen in November. First-time cheekpieces reached for but is hard to enthuse over in this company.

2/1
Leading player based on a couple of solid runs last summer in Group and Listed company including getting within 4¼L of the ill-fated Sir Erec when last seen at Limerick in October. Rated 10lbs ahead of these and could be the one to beat.

Won on Flat debut for Ger Lyons last spring before joining current yard. Won a 2m maiden hurdle here in November, eventually achieving an attractive mark of 120. Plenty more needed on return to the level.

By Nathaniel out of the 1m-1m6f winner Hasanka. Half-brother to the Listed placed 1m winner Hasanour. Third of five beaten 4L on sole start in a Naas maiden 12 months ago, a race that has produced Hunting Horn and irish Derby winner Latrobe.

Winner of a Tipperary maiden as a juvenile and not disgraced in five starts last term running well without getting his head in front. Likely to need this run on seasonal bow.

Daughter of Fastnet Rock out of a Giant's Causeway mare. French Flat winner has been well exposed in a couple of maiden hurdles recently and looks out of her depth returning to the Flat.

Whirling Dervish (6/4), Twilight Payment (2/1), Hasanabad (4/1), Brazos (7/1), Master Of Reality (8/1), Flat To The Max (20/1), Rock Samphire (100/1)

Verdict

The Jessica Harrington-trained Whirling Dervish was not disgraced in five starts last term running well without getting his head in front and could mount a challenge to the likes of the Teofilo gelding Twilight Payment who is rated 10lbs clear of his nearest rival and the Dermot Weld-trained HASANABAD who finished third behind subsequent winner, Hunting Horn and 4L adrift of Irish Derby victor, Latrobe on sole start at Naas 12 months ago.
  1. Hasanabad
  2. Twilight Payment
