Jet Renegade
Modest form in point-to-points; some promise in bumpers, notably at galway in October (yielding); best watched on Flat debut.

Kidam Roque
Ran twice in bumpers before C&D Flat debut last month when shaping okay in first-time hood; much more likely needed here.

Kings Gesture
Pulled up in a bumper at Ballinrobe in May for previous yard but showed some promise on return over C&D in November; didn't reproduce that run back in trip following month when racing keenly and has 7l to find with Soaring Sun.

Soaring Sun
Solid level of recent form here over 1m2f, twice placed in maidens and most recently good third in handicap; prominent racer upped in trip here and contender if staying.

Battling Siki
40,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 9.5f winner/Listed-placed at 1m6f (RPR 96), half-sister to a couple of Gr 3 winners; formerly in training with the late Kevin Prendergast but never ran; bought for 4,600gns in July; market best guide.

Dancingondiamonds
220,000 euros purchase at Arqana breeze-up sale in 2024; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to Mask Of Time (Australian 1m2f Group 3); slow to break and ran green but showed some debut promise in Killarney maiden back in May (1m); gelded since and won't have to improve too much to play a major role in this weak maiden.

Tyraxes
Showed some level of ability in two middle-distance novices for Andrew Balding last year whom he left for 3,000gns; never sighted on Irish debut over C&D in November however.
