Dawn Approach gelding who cost £18,000 last May. Half-brother to two winners. Probably best watched on belated debut.
Raven's Pass filly who cost €25,000 as a yearling. Another runner making a belated first start.
No promise in 6f AW maiden at Dundalk on debut, finishing last of 12. Hood worn that day is now removed.
Raven's Pass gelding who is out of a 5f winner. Cost €4,000 as a yearling. Market can guide.
Shamardal gelding who is out of an AW winner. Cost £10,000 in October. One of three debutants for the stable. Market informative.
Equiano gelding who is one of several newcomers in the field. The betting should be helpful.
Showed some ability in a couple of 6f races at Windsor last summer for Martyn Meade. Sold for 14,000 gns in October. Needs improvement on form but market support would be encouraging.
Elzaam colt who is a half-brother to a 6f winner. Cost €7,000 as a yearling. Market can guide.
Down the field in a couple of 5f maidens, latest on AW at Dundalk. Hinted at ability both times but this longer trip needs to prompt improvement.
Showed promise on sole 2yo start, finishing fourth of 13 in 6f maiden at the Curragh. Gelded since and now goes in tongue-tie. Open to progress and looks a likely player.
Ballydoyle colt who was sent off 16-1 in C&D maiden last October but ran a promising race, finishing fourth of 15 (fared best of the newcomers). Could improve any amount this year. Respected.
Fracas colt who represents a yard that has won this race three times in the last seven years. Interesting newcomer, especially if strong in the betting.
Bated Breath gelding who is out of a 1m AW winner. Stable also runs two other newcomers. The betting should be helpful.
Finished only eighth in a couple of Curragh maidens in October. Fared better when fourth of 22 in C&D contest the following month and has possibilities if backing up that improvement.
Attractively bred filly as she's by Dark Angel and the first foal of a dual 1m winner (including Listed) for these top connections. One of the likelier types among the newcomers.
0-7 in maiden races as a juvenile and was placed on just two occasions, namely when third at Limerick (7f) and the Curragh (6f). That form gives her a chance but she looks exposed and vulnerable.
Never-nearer ninth of 14 in 5f AW maiden at Dundalk on debut but showed a bit of promise and may improve upped to 6f with the experience under her belt.
Canford Cliffs filly who is the first foal of a 1m handicap winner for these connections. May need this debut run.

Preference is for KNIGHT OF MALTA, who made an encouraging debut at this course in October and looks sure to improve this year. Grizzly, who has a similar profile to the selection, is second choice. Sheer Bravado and Eshtiya are interesting types among the newcomers and they need to be monitored for market support.
