Just 1-20 but has been kept in quality company for most of her career, placed several times in Group 3 and Listed company; will have to find improvement to take this. |

Sole success was when beating the smart She's Quality in a 5f maiden here at two; consistent in stakes company last year without reaching the first two; not at her best this season, though managed a fair fourth at Naas three starts ago; held by Carla Ridge. |

One of two for yard; has won four times at 6f-7f and is 2-2 at this track; sole win last year came in a three-runner auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good); subsequently placed in Listed and Group 3 company; had a few of these behind when a 3.5l third at Cork (6f, soft) on seasonal return; sharper now but has never won over 5f and Billy Lee prefers Bonus Time. |

Four wins at 6f-7f with his best effort coming when unluckily denied by Art Power in a Group 3 (soft) at the Curragh last autumn; below form next time at Ascot but is rated 109 and this ground suits so can be a big player. |

Three wins include twice over C&D last October; promising C&D comeback second in March, stiffer task in Listed company last time; one to consider back in handicap company, especially given his record here. |

Smart handicapper has won three times at this trip and posted a solid return at the Curragh; his race-fitness helps and this ground is fine but has a fair bit to find with some of these. |

Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July (good); best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f, yielding); improved over moderate seasonal return at Cork when a 3l sixth at Navan last time (6f, good to yielding); others preferred. |

Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July; best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f yielding); below form in the Goffs Million on only 7f attempt; soft ground probably not ideal on seasonal debut at Cork. |

Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

Just five runs last year but won a Listed race at Naas over this trip in October before a disappointing run in France, even allowing for a less than smooth passage; can run well if back to his best. |

Has become hard to win with since landing a Group 3 as a 3yo but it was a good run in a deep Ascot handicap last time (5f, good to soft) and returning to further should suit (second in this 12 months ago); solid chance. |

Group 1-winning juvenile over C&D; returned from aborted stud career last year and won a 5f Listed race at Naas (good) and a C&D Group 3 (6f, good); fine third in the Group 1 Flying Five before failing to run to expectations at the Breeders' Cup; well below best on soft on seasonal debut at Cork; better over 5f at Naas, but needs more to make an impact here. |

Fair form at this trip last season for Joseph O'Brien, highlighted by a 6l maiden win at Limerick (soft) and third of six in a conditions event at Gowran (heavy); confirmed a liking for testing conditions when fourth of 18 over 6f here last October; faces a tough task at these weights. |

Classy sprinter for Clive Cox and won a Listed and a Group 2 for that yard; decent run on debut for this yard at Dundalk before disappointing in Cork Listed race next time on soft; much better over C&D last time when a 2.75l sixth behind Mission Central. |
