1. Pretreville | Has won nine races from 7f to 1m on good and good to soft ground and on the all-weather. Third of 5 behind Dr Zempf beaten 2 1/4l at 4-1 on his latest outing in the Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown over 7f (good - yielding) earlier this month. |
2. Charterhouse | Successful at 7f and 1m on good and yielding ground. Third of 6 behind Cadillac beaten 7l at 28-1 on his latest outing at Leopardstown over 1m 1f (good) earlier this month. |
3. Raadobarg | Back from let-up and proven first-up runner winning in two of four attempts including a win at Curragh last try. Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Tipperary and the track. Hard to beat. |
4. Emphatic Answer | Only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Curragh. Has potential to find the front in a race without much early tempo. D McMonagle and J P O'Brien are a proven combination. Can surprise. |
5. Sh Boom | She has won three times from 7f to 1m on good ground. Third of 7 behind Pearls Galore beaten 2 1/4l at 22-1 on her latest outing over this course and distance (good - yielding) last month. |
6. Straight Answer | Successful twice at 6f on good to firm and soft ground. Beaten 2l by Dr Zempf when second of 5 at 8-1 on his latest outing in the Group 3 Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown over 7f (good - yielding) earlier this month. |
7. Confident Star | A winner at 7f on good ground. Beaten 2l behind Glounthaune at 11-1 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing in the Group 3 Richmond Homes Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown over 7f (good) in October last year. |
8. The Acropolis | Let-up. Has potential to find the front in a race without much early tempo and R L Moore has a strike rate of 28% for this trainer. Winning chance. |
9. Wexford Native | Won once this prep at Navan four runs back. Could find the front in a race with no obvious leader and rates highly with K J Manning retaining the ride. Place chance. |
10. Miss Mirabell | A winner at 1m on good ground. Third of 8 behind Nectaris beaten 1 3/4l at 9-2 on her latest outing over this course and distance (good - yielding) last month. |
