Selected odds by:
Cheaply purchased colt that is bred to be effective at 7F and possibly beyond. Big improvement required after a moderate effort at Cork on debut last month.
Makes limited appeal on pedigree and needs to step up considerably on his debut effort over 5f at this course earlier in the month. Others are likely to be more progressive at this stage.
Appreciated the drop in trip when a close third over C&D last month; another step forward required here but going the right way and wasn't troubled by a large field size (18 runners) last time. place claims again.
Drops in trip and has a lot to prove after two poor efforts up to press; others look make more appeal on this occasion.
Consistent in his last three starts and looks capable of getting his head in front at some point; latest start boosted by a subsequent winner and form has a solid look. Has his limitations but dangerous to rule out from a favourable draw.
Little impact in two previous starts (both over 7f) and plenty to prove just now. Pedigree suggests a step up in trip looks likely to suit next season.
Well held on debut at Limerick and is another that already has improvement to find. Probably safe to just take notes this time around.
Cost 20,000 gns and bred to appreciate this sort of trip. Stable has other options with more experience but the betting can still be an aid in determining any pre-race confidence.
Appealing pedigree and shaped with plenty of promise so far. Sets a good standard on the official ratings and entitled to be thereabouts if running to form.
Yard won this race with a more experienced type last year and the colt needs to step up considerably on the form of his debut run at Down Royal last month. Big step forward required.
A 50,000 gns purchase, the son of Swiss Spirit is related to a handful of winners between 6f and a mile. Yard highly respected and remaining in good form; well worth noting in the betting.
No impression on debut at Cork over an extended 6f and needs to improve significantly for the fitting of blinkers. Makes limited appeal this time.
Cost just €3,000 and bred to get a bit further; from the same yard as Sokudo and, like his stablemate, he makes limited appeal from a punting perspective.
Camelot filly with 1,000 Guineas and Irish Oaks entries, so merits a betting check at least. Yard has been quiet recently but can have one ready. One to bear in mind if the market vibes are positive.
Bred to get a mile at least but showed very little when last of eight here on debut and hard to see the filly having an impact on the face-value of that effort.
Cost €3,500 as a yearling, a half-sister to a winner over 6f and a bonus that her dam won over the same trip too. Yard going well but would be a surprising winner all the same.
has finished last in each of her previous starts and is very difficult to make a solid case in her favour on the evidence of those runs. Others readily preferred.
Makes little appeal on breeding and, given the quietness of her yard, the filly isn't too difficult to overlook in the search for a winning start to the card.
€18,000 as a yearling; out of a Listed race winner in France and ought to be suited by this sort of trip. Has a handful of useful types in her bloodlines and worth a betting check at least. One of the more interesting newcomers.
Has experience of this course but showed little in either of her previous starts and plenty to prove. now the filly drops to 6f for the first time.

Forecasts
Clashaniska (7/4), National Guard (11/4), Erich Bloch (3/1), Roger That (8/1), Cactus Tree (9/1), Mk Drama (12/1), Musee D'Orsay (20/1), We'll Go Again (25/1), Maggie Thunder (25/1), Sokudo (25/1), Rockview Roman (25/1), Cartron (33/1), Gold Standard (33/1), Beau Geste (33/1), Esprit de Lumiere (33/1), Beyabehla (33/1), Lily Lily Rose (33/1), Three Angels (40/1), Mischiffie (50/1), Drombeg Duke (50/1), Lethal Endeavour (50/1), Martha Jean (50/1), Katie O'hara (50/1)
A good handful of these look more likely to do better in handicaps once they have more experience to draw from, which may pave the way for NATIONAL GUARD to prove himself as the best of what may prove to be a modest bunch. Roger That and Cactus Tree appeal on pedigree and may have been found a suitable opening to make an immediate impact on their respective debuts. Mk Drama also appeals as one to bear in mind if the betting market shows her in a positive light. Erich Bloch is the best of the rest with previous experience.
