Selected odds by:
Excellent easy winner of a Group 3 at the Curragh in August and not disgraced in the Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes (Group 1) at Newmarket on final start of last year. May have needed comeback run at Dundalk last time and very much respected back on turf with more to come this year. Holds Irish and English Guineas entries and could be hard to beat despite conceding weight all round.
Won his maiden on fast ground at the Curragh but struggled a little since and come back run at Dundalk was a shade disappointing, entitled to come on for that but has to improve.
Finished runner-up in Intelligence Cross' maiden win at the Curragh and has run well in two starts at that course since, losing his maiden tag on final start of last season. Looked potentially very smart and gave the impression there would be more to come this year so much respected for a trainer who can ready one on seasonal reappearance.
Not disgraced in Group or Listed company last year but not won since winning his maiden at Leopardstown. Has a longer absence than most to overcome and trainer's runners often need their return to action.
Confirmed the promise of his debut effort at Fairyhouse when keeping on well to score at Naas last time. Completely unexposed but would appear to be in at the deep end a little here. Trainer and jockey have a good record when combining so respected nonetheless.
Won his first two outings at Naas before running excellent races in Group 3 and Group 2 company on next two starts. Proved a shade disappointing when sixth of seven at the Curragh in a Group 1 behind Churchill but he's better than that and should bounce back for a trainer and jockey who have a 22.67% strike-rate at this course.
Won his maiden at Leopardstown on good ground but yet to get his head in front in three subsequent starts since in Group company. Yard's runners have tended to need their first run back so far this season so perhaps best watched on reappearance.
Built on promising debut at The Curragh when finishing runner-up on good-to-firm ground at Leopardstown last season. Disappointed on third start last year but produced a fine comeback effort at Naas when taking apart a 20-runner field. Won that easily enough and has race fitness on her side but will have to take another giant step forward to land this.
Won a valuable Naas handicap when last seen in the autumn and shaped like there would be more to come this year. Respected but will have to have wintered well if she's to take a hand stepped up in class. Wears a first-time visor.
French import who ran well on yard debut in a Listed race at Cork at the start of the month. May improve for slightly better ground and market can reveal expectations.
Won a respectable looking Dundalk maiden last year and may make a bold bid from the front again but she will need to have improved plenty if she's to mix it with some smart types.
Made a nice start to her career for Richard Fahey, winning her first two starts but has largely struggled since and level of form shown towards the end of last year unlikely to be good enough to take a hand in this. Makes first start for new yard.
Career best when finishing runner-up in a Dundalk contest towards the end of last year but has a break to overcome and has plenty to find on form.
Ran some fair races in four appearances in Meydan during the Dubai season but well beaten on Irish debut and she'd probably want faster ground.
Won twice, both at Dundalk but not shown quite enough to be of interest in a race as hot as this and remains to be seen whether the step up in trip will bring about any improvement.

Psychedelic Funk (9/4), Intelligence Cross (9/2), Alphabet (9/2), Radio Silence (7/1), Son Of Rest (7/1), Khukri (8/1), Callender (10/1), Childhood (14/1), Mr Scarlet (16/1), Dandyman Port (16/1), De Boss Man (22/1), Tilly Trotter (25/1), Gorane (33/1), Mirdif (33/1), Souls In The Wind (66/1), Miss Cogent (66/1), Kocollada (100/1)
Despite carrying a penalty, INTELLIGENCE CROSS looks like the one to beat in here. Her fourth in Group 1 company towards the end of last year is a high class piece of form and he may have needed his recent comeback run. Psychedelic Funk was another on the upgrade last year and may do better as a three-year-old while Khukri should run well despite having plenty to find on official ratings, he's run well on all three career outings and his trainer knows how to ready one for a return to action.
