Power Under Me
Six time winner with a definite preference for soft or heavy ground; should be a big contender here if the surface is soft enough to play to his strengths.

Bomberg
Comfortable winner of a Limerick maiden on debut in July; had a few of these in front of him in a Listowel Listed 12 days ago; capable of better but much more needed.

Chicago Critic
Twice a winner at Naas on soft to heavy and good; career-best when a close third in the Jersey Stakes in June but unable to match that when last seen in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July; his Ascot run sets a good standard here and one of the ones to beat if he can match that.

Follow Me
Won a maiden and a handicap at the Curragh earlier in the year but had his limitations exposed since in big handicaps at Ascot and the Curragh; the ease in the ground is likely to suit but has to prove he is up to this class.

Second runner for yard and looks the second-string on jockey bookings; better effort on latest when beaten 2.5l in a 1m Listed at Killarney (yielding to soft); needs more to make his presence felt.

All Lies Ahead
Without a win since early last year but plenty of encouragement from he latest start when fourth in a 7f fillies Listed at Galway two months ago; more needed here but could outrun her likely odds if the rain comes in time.

Mammas Girl
Has shown much more of her old spark recently with blinkers a real addition; went up 11lb for her last run when beaten just over three lengths in the Group 1 Matron Stakes; a reproduction of that could suffice if she wasn't flattered; tongue-tie added here.

Mexicali Rose
Enjoyed her finest hour when landing the Galway Mile this summer; campaigned at stakes level since and her form ties in quite well with some of these on her last two efforts at Killarney and Listowel; can get into the shake-up.

Nightcliff
Won a Curragh two-year-old maiden for David Geary on heavy; has run no better than okay on both runs for the stable this season and needs to step up hugely.

Vera's Secret
Came back from a disappointing run in the Irish Cambridgeshire to impressively land a valuable handicap at Leopardstown last month; the hood is left on here; has a little to find on figures but not much and she is clearly progressive; draw is a minus but every chance that she can improve enough to contend.

Got off the mark on testing ground in a maiden at Roscommon; has a mountain to climb on ratings and probably needs an ocean of rain to level the playing field.

Fleur De Chine
Won the valuable Gowarn Classic in June; fourth in the Naas Oaks Trial and a solid third in a Listowel Listed last time; cheekpieces tried here but the drop back to 7f might not be a plus; respected though.

Very consistent filly; deservedly landed a 6f Curragh maiden in June; creditable efforts in defeat last twice in Listed contests at Galway and Cork; should run her race.

Red Viburnum
Beat a decent filly in a Naas maiden in June; very little went right for her when fifth in a Leopardstown Group 3 when last seen; unexposed and could well be effective at this level; one of the more interesting runners.
