Runner-up to stablemates on both starts last year, including at this track, FIRST WAVE (nap) can be suited by the step up to this trip and score. Raykir, Admiral Churchill and Mister Adam look to be his main dangers, while top-class bumper horse A Dream To Share is a fascinating runner. [Tyrone Molloy]

Flat-bred but became the champion bumper horse of the 2022/23 season, winning five times including two Grade 1s; interrupted career since, running twice over hurdles this term; likely to lack enough pace for this trip but can't be dismissed either.
First foal; dam 5f-7f winner (RPR 86), half-sister to winners Pretty Smart (5f/6f), Very Smart (7f) and Khorgos (Italian 7f/1m); late starter is best watched for future reference.
Tenth foal; brother to 5f/6f winner Boundary Lane (RPR 89), half-brother to Polish 1m2f winner Poet's Preem; dam French 1m3f winner; late-starter cost GBP25,000 as a yearling; likely best watched for future reference.
Some fine runs for William Haggas last year but was below that level on debut for this yard on AW last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces and needs his best to be competitive.
Improved markedly from his debut to finish a solid runner-up in a 7f maiden at Galway last summer (winner now rated 104); his absence since is no concern from this yard and a visor is added; big player.
Second runner for yard; closely related to winners Magic Chegaga (1m-1m2f; RPR 97) and Monarchs Brae (Australian 7f-9.5f); dam 7f/1m winner (87), half-sister to 10.5f Group 1 winner; Gns23,000 yearling is by an Arc' winner and may need further in time.
Beaten nearly 6l on debut in a Galway maiden last summer; the ground was testing then so these conditions will be fine but has to improve plenty on that.
Just denied on debut by a stablemate over 7f at this track last October before again being undone by a Ballydoyle companion at Dundalk; the step up to this trip is likely to suit and is the one to beat on form; market strength would bolster confidence.
Well-bred colt ran a cracker on debut over C&D last autumn but was well below that level over 1m2f at Dundalk in January; back down in trip on soft turf should suit better and can be in the mix.
Showed some ability when beaten 3.5l in a Leopardstown maiden over this trip last autumn; well bred colt should have improved over the winter and can run a decent race.
First foal; dam placed 1m2f AW (RPR 69), closely related to useful 1m4f/1m5f Flat and 2m hurdle winner Swnymor; a Eur19,000 vendor buyback as a yearling; by a quality sire and is worth a market check.
First foal; dam 1m6f winner (RPR 72), out of 2m winning half-sister to 6.5f Listed winner African Ride; by the trainer's homebred National Stakes winner; cost Eur8,000 as a yearling; best watched unless market support.
Looks the first-string of his yard's pair; brother to 7f/1m winner Tut Tut (inc 2yo/AW; RPR 92), half-brother to three winners inc Mr Top Hat (6f-1m2f inc 2yo; 96) and Exoplanet Blue (7f inc AW; 80); dam 7f 2yo winner (81); a Eur35,000 yearling is by a useful sire; check market.
