Kirk's Dancer deserves respect on the basis of her proximity to Winter in an AW maiden last summer but she hasn't raced since so will have fitness to prove and her yard have been under a bit of a cloud lately. On that bases, XENOBIA gets the nod here. She defied big odds to be second over C&D on her debut in the autumn and showed she has trained on with a good second over 7f at Navan recently. She ought to be right in the firing line for this pot. Aljunood and Buffalo Blues, on his best form, are other that might get involved.
