Shandy
Came back to form when coming home strongly to land the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at Naas in August, beating Firebird by a head; well beaten in a premier handicap at the Curragh (good) since; the softer the better for her so she'd appreciate some rain.

Ano Syra
Two-time winner at this track over 5f but has won over 6f; solid sprinter but record of 0-19 in stakes company a concern; faced tough assignments in better company lately; drop in class a help but she might find a couple too good again.

Dance Night Andday
C&D winner was short of room twice when fifth in Naas Group 3 in August; appreciated a strong pace to aim at when winning premier handicap at Leopardstown (7f) last month; yet to win in four attempts at stakes level but was second in 7f Cork Listed in August; possibilities.

Little Queenie
Course winner; won all three AW starts since last November, impressing when comfortably landing 6f handicap at Dundalk off a mark of 96 in August; didn't fare too badly on first try in Listed grade when fourth of 10 at Tipperary last month but was behind Ano Syra on that occasion.

Ostraka
Two of her three career victories here over 5f/6f; doubled up at Navan off 80 last month but failed to land a blow off 9lb higher here over 5f last week; wouldn't want to see much rain but she might be out of her depth in this company in any case.

Oujda
Former French-trained filly, winner of four of her 12 starts in her native country, including a 7f event in June; finished last in 1m Listed event at Killarney on first run for Johnny Murtagh; found this trip too sharp when sixth in C&D Group 3 latest; all wins over 7f/1m; opposable.

Elinor Dashwood
Mixed form since winning off 75 at Gowran in June; ruined her chance with a slow start at Fairyhouse last month; decent run when second in 7f contest here last week but has plenty to find on official ratings to trouble some of these.

Firebird
An expensive purchase after finishing second in a soft-ground maiden at Ayr last year; easily won her first two starts on good ground for current yard; only found shock 50-1 winner Shandy too good in the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at Naas in August, headed near the line; 5lb pull in the weights with that rival here; massive chance on these terms.

Navassa Island
Sole success was in a C&D maiden last August; consistent in stakes company this year but was behind Shandy and Firebird when fourth at Naas last time; entitled to run well again but she might need to step up in trip soon.
