Cap Saint Martin
Was only 1l behind Dee Stakes winner Lambourn on debut at Killarney last summer before running creditably in French Listed company; off the mark in a Curragh maiden (1m) final start; should stay this trip and seems the stable selected of three runners on return; a player.

Glyndwr
Got off the mark on third start in a 7f Dundalk maiden last autumn; gelded since and this trip is a question on return judged on his pedigree.

Green Triangle
Hasn't always looked the most straightforward but has ability; won a maiden at this track last year and has kept good company since; solid both starts this term on soft over 1m but faster ground and up in trip should suit; not yard's first-string but can't be ruled out.

Nautical Force
Solid efforts in maidens over 7f and 8f last year; showed improved form to beat Arouet 1.75l on return in a Cork maiden over this trip on soft; 5lb worse off with that rival and faces faster ground but still has to be respected with more to come.

Arouet
A 52,000euros yearling put in a fine effort on debut when a 1.75l runner-up to Nautical Force on debut at Cork (sft) over a similar trip to this; should have come forward from that run and is 5lb better off with that rival today so holds a leading chance.

Falls Of Acharn
Fourth foal; half-brother to 7f 2yo/US 10.5f winner Good American (RPR 105); dam German 1m4f Group 2/1m Group 3 winner (106), sister to Group-placed 6f/7f winner Mehdi; by a quality sire but a 65,000gns vendor buyback as a yearling; tough enough task on debut.

Waterford Flow
Posted three decent Dundalk runs over the winter without really progressing; has a fair bit of ground to make up on Nautical Force and Arouet from his Cork turf debut, though this better ground might help.

Self Charging
First foal; dam unraced sister to 12.4f winner Hymn Book Too, closely related to Dewhurst/2,000 Guineas winner Dawn Approach and 7f 2yo Group 2 winner Herald The Dawn; well-bred filly faces a tough task on debut but market strength can be a guide.
