Kibris
Won a Curragh maiden over 1m on debut last November on easy ground; outclassed in a Group 3 on return and disappointing in a Cork conditions race; questions, especially on quick ground; tongue-tie goes on.

Dakota Blue
Three solid maiden runs last year including when 4.5l behind The Lion In Winter at the Curragh; got off the mark in a C&D maiden on return and can improve from that; looks a big player on handicap bow.

Dignam
Won a Tipperary maiden last September and a respectable run in a French Group 3 next time; below that level three times since and needs to get back to his best raised in trip; second runner for yard.

Light As Air
Was an unlucky runner-up in a handicap at Leopardstown over this trip last time after only two maiden runs (third both times); raised 7lb for that but should have improved since and be a big player; the owner of Dakota Blue is also a shareholder in this colt.

Dahlia Noir
Was just over 3l behind Light As Air in a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap on return and improved from that to win a heavy-ground Gowran maiden over 1m; shouldn't be far away

Sunriseontheboyne
Has been kept busy, running 20 times for four wins, three on AW; solid claimer run at Ballinrobe last time but was behind some of these at Leopardstown in March and others look more progressive.

Heishybrid
Won a 7f Leopardstown maiden last summer but hasn't been as good since; however, might not have stayed 1m4f at Leopardstown on return and this trip can suit better.
