Carvalhal
One of two for yard; UK recruit picked up for 4,000gns in October; 1-10 on turf for Michael Dods, the win coming over 1m1f on good to firm off 53; this trip might just be on the sharp side, he lacks a run and he is probably best watched.

Genuine Jim
Second runner for yard; 1-7 on turf; narrowly denied on seasonal return at Leopardstown (1m, good) three weeks ago; 2lb higher now but there could be more to come and he's ground versatile; chance.

Hemight
Eleven race maiden is 0-6 on turf; best effort on grass a 3l third in a 7f Tipperary maiden on testing ground last May; decent run latest on second start for this yard when a 1.75l third of 14 off 59 at Dundalk (7f); 1lb higher here but rider claims 10lb; not discounted on first try at 1m.

Royal Pippen
Is 2-33 on turf but hasn't won since August 2021; well-backed and sound effort on return when beaten 2l off this mark at Gowran (1m, yielding); handles any ground and well-treated on old form; place claims.

Limestone Red
AW winner over 10.5f is 0-11 on turf; went close off 58 here over 1m1f last August; below par last two starts at Dundalk and this trip raises questions; others appeal more.

May Night
Seven time AW winner is 1-12 on turf, his win coming over C&D off 69 last May; raced exclusively at Dundalk for current yard and has yet to hit top form but mark has tumbled and is now 10lb lower than last turf success; can't discount in first-time blinkers.

Notforalongtime
Gained eighth AW win in a Dundalk claimer on latest (7f), his second win from last three starts; 1-19 on turf, the win coming in 2020 when trained by Clive Cox; fit from the AW and rated 9lb lower on turf but ran poorly in this last year; others preferred.

I've Been Dreaming
Is 1-4 on turf; off the mark on handicap debut in a nursery at Galway (7f, heavy) in October 2023; just 1lb higher now, has been gelded and rain a plus but entitled to need this after a mammoth layoff; watch unless strong in the market.

Higher Kingdom
Six-time AW winner but 0-24 on turf; has run well in defeat on grass, including when a 3.5l third of 10 at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) on latest; handles soft; in form and not without a chance.

Feature This
Has won four on the AW and is 1-12 on turf; posted a good effort behind Higher Kingdom at Dundalk in this headgear combination in November but has gone off the boil since; no signs of a revival on return to turf at Leopardstown latest; others look more likely.

Harry The Rogue
One of two for stable; 0-9 on turf and 0-18 overall; well backed on last two starts but hasn't had much luck in running; yard has started the season well and he looks up to winning a race when things fall right; very testing ground would be a worry.

Manhattan Dandy
Is 3-46 on turf, the last two wins coming on heavy; is 3lb below his last victory, he has run well here before and he had a satisfactory pipe opener at Dundalk three weeks ago; interesting runner.

Poppadom
Second runner for yard; twenty-race maiden is 0-16 on turf; went close at Gowran (8.5f, soft to heavy) last October off 47 under this rider; 4lb higher now and lacks a recent run; probably best watched unless backed.

Han Solo
Has won twice on turf, both on good ground at this venue, including over C&D; clearly likes it here and is on a competitive mark for his seasonal comeback but the forecast rain is a big concern; needs it to miss.

Sayfa Fad
Is 0-8 on turf; big step forward on latest under Colin Keane at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) in first-time blinkers (retained) when a 1.5l second of 10 (Higher Kingdom behind); drops back in trip, up 2lb and different ground now; chance if she handles it.

Sofia Tesoro
Is 0-4 overall and 0-2 on turf; no impact all four starts; last of nine on handicap debut at Dundalk (7f) when last seen in 2023; still early days but she's been off the track a long time and is probably best watched.

Bucky Larson
Won seven for Ger Lyons (four on turf) and was rated in the 90s in his pomp; has yet to get his head in front since joining this yard but he ran a decent race on latest when not beaten far at Leopardstown (7f, good); rain is a big concern, however.

So Messi
Dual-purpose maiden for Pat Martin; 0-11 on turf on the Flat but has run well in defeat; touched off here over 1m2f (yielding) last May off 49 and is 5lb lower now; has run well on heavy and he's worth a market check on his seasonal and stable debut.

Swiss Army Officer
First reserve; C&D winner back in October 2020; last won in May 2023 at Roscommon (7.5f, good to yielding); 5lb lower now, soft ground fine, is well-handicapped and should strip fitter for comeback run; not discounted.

Second reserve; ten race maiden; best run a 0.5l second of 16 at Gowran last July (7f, good); 3lb lower now but not sure he'll appreciate the forecast rain.

Chou Chou
Third reserve; 0-16 on turf but has shown ability; best effort for current yard on latest at Gowran (1m, yielding); pick of his form is on good ground; well-beaten on only previous visit to this venue; others appeal more.
