Kortez Bay
Won twice last year including a 1m1f handicap at this track; later finished a fine fourth in a 1m2f Listed race; returned to action with a career-best effort under a big weight in the Irish Lincoln; this trip might be a bit short but is still a major player.

Tina's Indian
Was a comfortable winner of a 6f Curragh maiden on sole start last autumn and absent since; has a fair bit to find against some of these on that form but has potential.

Bravais
Dual winner over 7f in 2023 for Andre Fabre and ran well in defeat in Group races up to 1m4f; came back after a long absence for this yard when beaten 30l at Naas and needs to show huge improvement.

Cristal Clere
Four-time winner up to 1m2f has shown smart form up to 1m4f and also run well over hurdles; this trip could be a bit sharp for him on return but can still run well.

Hurricane Ivor
Useful sort returned to action with a smashing handicap win over 7f at Naas and was just as good when fourth in the Listed Gladness Stakes; best on easy ground nowadays so any rain will help his cause; big player.

Dual winner in France last year up to almost 1m4f; this trip looks too sharp for her on Irish debut but the market could reveal more.

Elinor Dashwood
Dual turf winner showed improved form last term when a close fourth in Listed company (6f) penultimate start; this trip is fine but needs to repeat that form on return.
