Broomfield Bijou (M)
Yet to add to her chasing debut success but was a good second on stable debut in handicap at Thurles in February. Also ran well when second in 3-runner Grade 3 at Cork last time, but faces a tough ask in this contest.

Sophia Rose (M)
Winning hurdler who showed better form when making the frame on first 4 starts over fences, including when runner-up in mares handicap here (2¾m) in February. However, below par the last twice and looks up against it at this level.
