Kyprios
Champion stayer of recent years attempts to win this for the third time in the last four years; unblemished record last season after winning reappearance here, six further wins including at the highest level in Ascot and Goodwood Cups, Irish St Leger and Prix Du Cadran; acts on any going; reportedly in good as form as ever and clearly the one to beat.

Dawn Rising
Versatile dual-purpose sort whose best flat performances came when winning Queen Alexandra in 2023 and Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes (Curragh) last November; never sighted on last month's seasonal return over inadequate trip in Naas Listed and McMonagle prefers Leinster.

Barnso
Progressive 3yo last year, winning Fairyhouse handicap and acquitted himself well when raised in class, notably close third in Leopardstown Listed over 1m6f; ran well over an inadequate trip at Dundalk in February and more expected back up in trip but big task on here.

Leinster
Lightly raced 4yo won Down Royal maiden on seasonal return last May but not seen after being placed in Roscommon handicap until returning much improved last month when making all in 1m4f Curragh handicap on soft; quite likely more to come as he steps up further in trip but this looks a tough ask.

Poetic Sound
Lightly raced 4yo won last two starts last year over 1m4f in Roscommon maiden and Bellewstown handicap, reappearing with better effort again over C&D early this month, finding plenty for pressure from some way out when beaten a neck; upped in grade but looks the type to keep improving and could run well.

Sonnyboyliston
Irish St Leger and Ebor winner in 2021 for Johnny Murtagh but absent since finishing second in Group 3 Riyadh contest in Saudi Arabia in February 2022 until never competitive sixth in Curragh amateur race last October, first start for current yard; hard what to make of him at this stage.

Bay Of Sanibel
Both wins have come over C&D, including off 77 last May; rating took a steep rise following two runs in France in the autumn and okay C&D comeback run early this month off revised mark; visor now replaces cheekpieces.

Enfranchise
Pick of eight flat wins came in Gowran Listed over this trip last May for Shark Hanlon; took his mark to a new high on seasonal return for current yard last month in finishing staying on second in Naas Listed over inadequate 1m2f; enjoys a nice weight allowance, could sneak a place.
