Unraced Galileo colt out of Group placed juvenile winner After. Represents a trainer who saddles two other runners and holds a Group 1 entry here in August (Phoenix Stakes).
Unraced sixth foal by Red Jazz out of Zibaline who cost €17,000 as a foal. Likely to do better with time and experience.
Unraced seventh foal by Fast Company out of Cappuchino who cost 65,000 gns as a yearling and is a brother to 6F winner Al Qahwa. Also a half-brother to three other winners.
Unraced 40,000 gns foal, €90,000 yearling by Dutch Art out of Euroceleb. Half-brother to three winners including Resiliency, and one of two entries for this trainer.
Unraced Galileo colt out of Logjam who is closely related to French middle distance winner Emily Strange. 11th foal, and one of three saddled by this trainer in this contest. Wears a tongue tie.
Unraced sixth foal (€11,000 yearling) by Born To Sea out of Annemarie's Magic. A half-brother to 5F to 1m winner Magic City.
Once raced Kyllachy colt out of Perino who cost €41,000 as a yearling. Connections will be looking for some minor improvement from that Fairyhouse debut last week, but in deep today.
Far and away the most experienced of this field, but remains a maiden after four attempts since March. A relatively inexpensive purchase whose best effort came on an artificial surface at Dundalk in early April (third).
Cost £65,000 as a yearling, and this first foal by Roderic O'Connor has already visited the racecourse twice. His Leopardstown fourth to Camelback (7F) was a step up on his Navan debut but he encounters different ground today in the first time visor.
Stablemate of Drapers Guild, but this Lope De Vega colt has only been able to muster midfield finishes in a couple of starts at Naas and Leopardstown over the past eight weeks. Significant improvement required.
Unraced Galileo colt out of Vadawina (eighth foal) who is one of three runners for this trainer. Half-brother to a number of talented winners including Vadamar, Vedouma, Vedevani and Valcartier. Strong pedigree.
Unraced Vocalised colt out of Lonrach (second foal). His dam was placed between 7F and 1m4f, but is well related.

Bond Street (2/1), Caffe Macchiato (5/1), Raphael (13/2), Zayriyan (7/1), Verbal Dexterity (8/1), The Pentagon (10/1), Drapers Guild (10/1), Sebastiano Ricci (12/1), Madrid (12/1), Only William (16/1), Burgundy Boy (33/1), Pak Army (33/1), Magic Sea (66/1)
A race which promises to be informative with regards the future as much as anything else with a number of well bred newcomers amongst the field. Aidan O'Brien saddles three horses, Bond Street, Madrid, and THE PENTAGON. The first named looks the stables first string on riding arrangements and holds some decent future entries, but there is also plenty to like about the pedigree of the others, so there's probably little to choose between the trio. Of the remainder, Drapers Guild, Caffe Macchiato, Verbal Dexterity and Zayriyan should all have decent futures.
