Justiciar (15/8), Yellowstone Lake (7/2), Minerva (5/1), Fairy Oak (15/2), Diamond Necklace (9/1), Themis (12/1), Nautic Star (14/1), Saint Agatha (18/1), River Ara (20/1), Lookingforarainbow (28/1), Menhaf (66/1)

YELLOWSTONE LAKE represents the yard responsible for the winners of this race in 2022 and 2023, and she looks the way to go on the back of a highly encouraging debut second to Fairy Oak at Leopardstown last month. The latter should give another good account, but she will do well to confirm the placings with the selection under a penalty here. A bigger threat may be posed by Justiciar, while Minerva and likely-looking stablemate Diamond Necklace also merit respect, along with Saint Agatha.
