In depth

Formwatch

Doctor Spin (IRE) Usual for him to get worked up before his races but is a consistent performer who should give a good account of himself, however may be best caught fresh.

Fire Dome (IRE) Tough individual whose chances would be improved should the ground turn up on the soft side.

Invincible Spirit (IRE) Recovered well from a pelvic injury; sustained last season and ran well enough from a poor draw in the Cork and Orrery to suggest he may be better suited by this smaller field.

Bannister Looks to have a little to find with a couple of these and best watched.

Bouncing Bowdler Another who is yet to shine this season, others preferred.

Mugharreb (USA) Should handle todays conditions and has a decent turn of foot but is becoming hard to win with.

Pan Jammer Hails from a stable in form and is defiantly one for the short-list with Kieren Fallon on board.

Superstar Leo (IRE) Ran well to chase home Munir at Leopardstown on her only try at six furlongs last season, and stayed on well in the closing stages behind Danehurst last so the trip should not be a problem, looks the one to beat.
