Hopes Are High
Showed debut promise when third behind a pair of outsiders in 1m a Dundalk maiden in January; possibly improved on that when taking the same place over C&D three weeks ago; ground was soft then, but this quick surface should not be a problem judging by his AW run.

Hostility
Solid form in maidens at the Curragh, Listowel and Dundalk last season; shaped well when taking second behind a race-fit rival at Limerick 12 days ago on his first encounter with soft ground; handled it well but should be even more effective on this going.

Iceford
Not too far away in three sprint maidens and was doing his best work late in the final one at the Curragh on seasonal debut; chased home the favourite at Cork on his handicap debut and first attempt at this trip; should be in the mix if first-time cheekpieces bring about some improvement.

Rock Solid Spirit
Third foal; dam unraced half-sister to a winner; not enough in the pedigree to suggest a strong chance first time out; top rider booked.

Starsurge
Raced keenly first time out at Naas; slowly away when eighth of 17 over this trip at the Curragh; second-string for trainer of Storm Piece; more likely a handicap prospect in due course.

Storm Piece
Second to Ballydoyle-trained colts (notably Monday's Tetrarch Stakes winner Officer) on his first two starts before a fourth behind one from the same yard at the Curragh last year; strong in the betting when second of 16 at Naas (7f, soft to heavy) on return; leading contender on this contrasting surface.
