Esherann
Looked in need of a sterner test when runner-up of 11 at Leopardstown (7f, good) on debut 13 days ago, keeping on well in the closing stages but no match for the winner; leading candidate.

Propose
Frankel colt never landed a blow on debut in end of season course maiden (1m) last year; stepped up massively on that when runner-up in 10.5f Dundalk maiden in March; Irish Derby entry should play a major role here.

Rizal
Lovely pedigree; well-backed 7-4 favourite but slow start cost him when remote fifth of 12 on debut at Gowran (1m) 17 days ago; entitled to improve and in the mix with a better break.

Sears Crossing
Well-bred son of Sea The Stars failed to make much of an impression on debut at Tipperary (12.5f, yielding) last month; entitled to improve but cheekpieces are reached for already which is a negative.

Tracker Issue
Quite a cheap yearling at 8,000euros; 66-1 when down the field in course maiden (1m, soft) on debut; remote third of five behind promising type at Cork (10.5f) on latest; more needed.

Valorous Power
Made a highly encouraging debut at Killarney (1m, good to yielding) 11 days ago when a staying-on fourth of 10; step up in trip on a more galloping track should play to his strengths; shortlisted.
