Cases can be made for quite a few of these. Erosandpsyche is the class act in the race, is well-drawn and he is feared, especially if money comes. Tango Flare and Keke ran blinders in the Bold Lad here last September and they have to be considered but a chance is taken on COLLECTIVE POWER. Not much went right for him when behind a few of these at Naas on latest and he is weighted to turn his August C&D form with stablemate Keke around. Little Queenie and Heavenly Power are others to consider. [Dave Stephens]

Smart stakes form in 2022 for Paddy Twomey including a second in the Group 1 Flying Five here on soft; missed all of 2023 and seen just twice last year; showed he retained ability with Cork Listed second in June; off since and blinkers go on for stable debut; check the market.
Is 3-16 on turf; last win came in Fairyhouse conditions race last June; excellent run over C&D when a 1.5l third behind My Mate Alfie in the Bold Lad in September and 2lb lower here; has won first time up before; dangerous to dismiss.
Four-time AW winner is 2-24 on turf; has won here over 5f (good) off 78 in August 2023; went close in both handicap starts here last season, beaten a neck over C&D off 87 and 0.5l over 5f off 96; should strip fitter for her comeback at Naas; chance.
One of three for yard; 5-26 on turf; won twice last season, including over C&D (good) off 86; scored off 90 at Naas on final start of 2024; may have needed comeback at Naas; remains 2lb above last win but this triple C&D winner is nicely drawn and could go well.
Second of three for yard; 5-13 on turf; two-time course winner including over C&D; won four times last season and bolted up over 5f (gd-yld) here last September off 84; good run off 95 on seasonal reappearance here over 5f on soft; return to 6f no problem and should go well, though draw could be better.
Seven-time winner is 4-17 on turf; went close behind Tango Flare in 6f Fairyhouse conditions race when last seen in June 2024; 6lb better off with that rival here and has moved to Stuart Crawford but may need this after a 350-day absence.
9yo is 7-46 on turf; dual Group 2 winner in Australia in his pomp; won a 7f conditions race at Gowran (soft) last May; solid effort when a 1.5l fourth of 15 at Naas latest and 4lb lower here; not discounted but may be vulnerable to younger rivals.
Three-time AW winner is 1-13 on turf, the win coming in a C&D maiden on good in 2022; hasn't troubled the judge on turf since; rated 3lb lower than on the AW but opposable off current mark on the balance of his turf form.
Four-time AW winner is 2-25 on the grass; sound effort over C&D on penultimate when a 2.25l fourth of 12 on soft off 89; ran well again at Newcastle on latest off 100; won here over 5f (good) in October off 84 and just 2lb higher now; place claims.
Sole turf win came at Naas last May off 75 (5f, good); won off 77 over 6f at Dundalk in January; hiked up 11lb for that and couldn't follow up when the 5-4 favourite back there in March; drawn low and may be on a tough mark.
Two-time AW winner is 1-5 on turf; only seen three times last season; went close at Naas after a 187-day absence last June (1m, good) off 80; not beaten far in valuable 7f Newcastle handicap when last seen in August; never raced over this short a trip; probably best watched.
Third runner for yard; eight-time winner is 3-30 on turf; won at Dundalk in April off 82 for this rider; ran better than bare result back on turf when behind a few of these at Naas latest (6f, gd-yld); was 4.25l behind Keke on last visit to this venue last August and with rider's claim is 15lb better off here; interesting from decent draw.
AW winner is 4-43 on turf; has won here over 5f on heavy off 89; has multiple placed efforts over C&D but best efforts have come on softer ground than he's likely to encounter here, he's 2lb wrong and he's drawn low.
AW winner is 0-6 on turf; best efforts have come at Naas over 6f on good ground; should come on for seasonal reappearance when not beaten far at Cork (7f, good); handicapper has given him a big chance but the draw gods have not been kind and he's 2lb wrong.
Two-time turf winner; won his maiden at Cork over 6f (good) last May; added a 1m handicap at that venue off 74 in October on yielding; attracted market support for his comeback at Naas in March but struggled on soft to heavy; 4lb wrong but might make a bold bid from a nice draw back at 6f.
Fifteen race maiden; went close to gaining first win at Naas (6f, gd-yld) on seasonal return in first-time tongue tie and cheekpieces (retained); however, he hasn't produced his best in two previous visits to this venue and is drawn low; 4lb wrong.
