Ankara
Dual winner in France with plenty of cut in the ground. First run here for Joseph O'Brien after nine months off; stable could not be in better form, but a watching brief may be the best policy.

Spanish Temptress
Four-time winner over 1m with ease in the ground on all occasions, including at this meeting last year; handles good ground too; has never tackled a trip this far, but just failed over 1m1f at Gowran and every chance that she will get it; big player if she does.

Diamond Exchange
Did just about enough to land a Dundalk maiden in January and did similar when following up in a 1m2f handicap at Leopardstown; a little bit more exposed on her two subsequent handicap efforts under a small penalty, but has the ability to get involved here.

Saga Gaga
Showed promise on her Leopardstown debut and followed up with a battling success over 1m1f on easier ground at Gowran; handicapper has not taken many chances with her mark, but there might be more to come over this trip and the homecoming champion jockey is booked.

Concert Party
Dual winner last year for Richard Hannon; bought to go hurdling but little to recommend in that discipline; best watched on her return to the level.

Two wins over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien and her sole Flat win was in a Tramore maiden over 1m4f last summer; first run since October having changed stables; market will guide but likely to come on for this.

My Girl Grace
Soft ground winner on debut over 1m2f at Leopardstown in June; overcame some adversity and showed a good attitude; better ground here, but a promising filly and the handicapper looks to have given her a chance.

So Must I
Landed a Dundalk maiden early in the year; has found life a little tougher in handicaps since and was out of her depth in Listed company last time; others preferred here.

Speckled Meadow
Good servant to her connections; four-time winner from 7f to 1m2f, but very much at home on much softeer ground than she meets today; up against it taking on some promising fillies with younger legs today.
