1. Finans Bay | A winner at 1m 1f on soft ground. Finished 11l behind Cadillac when fourth of 6 at 9-1 on his latest outing at Leopardstown over 1m 1f (good) earlier this month. |
2. Team Of Firsts | Finished 11 lengths back last start at Cork. Has potential to find the front in a race without much early tempo and rates highly with C T Keane retaining the ride. Must respect. |
3. Ides Of August | Ran seventh last start at Leopardstown. May find the front early with no other obvious contenders but this campaign's form has left a lot to be desired. Cannot entertain. |
4. Isle Of Sark | A winner at 7f on the all-weather. Beaten 17l behind Mashhoor at 28-1 when 17th of 19 on his latest outing over this course and distance (good - yielding) last month. |
5. Dance Jupiter | Successful at 1m 1f and 1m 2f on soft and yielding - soft ground. Third of 6 behind Dark Spark beaten 5l at 5-6fav on his latest outing at Listowel over 1m 5f (yielding) earlier this month. |
6. Laelaps | Finished six lengths back last start at Curragh. May find the front early with no other obvious contenders and drawn ideally. Well placed. |
7. Chicago Bear | Looking for a hatrick after winning two in a row at Leopardstown and Curragh. Has potential to find the front in a race without much early tempo. Place hope. |
8. Crystal Black | Back from let-up. Finished sixth last start at Naas when first up. Could find the front in a race with no obvious leader. Rough claims. |
9. Catena Zapata | Beaten by 13 lengths last start at Curragh when first up. Has potential to find the front in a race without much early tempo and generally strong second-up but look to others. |
10. Magic Chegaga | Coming off a win at Limerick. May find the front early with no other obvious contenders and three of four wins have come from dry ground. Big chance. |
11. Daylight Come | Last start winner at Fairyhouse. Could find the front in a race with no obvious leader and has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier. Forward showing no surprise. |
12. Bay Of Bengal | Flying start to career and rates highly with W J Lee retaining the ride. Forward showing no surprise. |
13. Loingseoir | In the money last start running third at Curragh on a soft track. Has potential to find the front in a race without much early tempo and takes a 7kg claim. Not the worst. |
