New York Dreams (7/4), Messa Concertata (7/2), Lady Kabeir (5/1), Laakhof (8/1), Zaghraf (10/1), Tiny Bit (14/1), Wild Eyed Girl (14/1), Gobi Star (14/1), Tawaazon (14/1), West Bay Duchess (22/1), Miss Katiecakes (25/1), Greek Opera (66/1), Megnificant (80/1)

NEW YORK DREAMS responded well to headgear (cheekpieces) when a close second in a big field at the Curragh 11 days ago and this trip could suit given the speed he showed that day. That form is the best on offer so is taken to go one place better switched to a visor. Messa Concertata shaped well given how keen she was on nursery bow at Naas and she rates a threat back down in trip on return, while Zaghraf caught the eye from the rear when behind the selection at the Curragh on debut.
