Pink Oxalis (M)
[B]
Won 4 times wins from 13 runs in 2025 but no show both starts so far this season, latterly coming home twenty-third of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 38 days ago.

Varshini (F)
[P]
C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when an excellent third of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Independent Expert (M)
[B]
Successful at Naas last month and followed that with a respectable sixth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 19 days ago. Place possibilities.

Alibah (F)
C&D winner on debut last summer before finishing third in a listed race at Fairyhouse. Race probably came too soon (just 7 days after his good Fairyhouse effort) in Group 3 company at the Curragh on final run of last season. Yard also fiel…

Gloriously Glam (F)
[P]
Bagged a C&D claimer and 1m Navan handicap last season but failed to beat a rival home on return at the Curragh. Others preferred.

Greydreambeliever (F)
FAV
Creditable second of 16 in handicap at this course (1m, soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she's a must for the shortlist.

Glory To Be (F)
[P]
Produced a career-best when winning 16-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) last week, driven out. 6 lb rise may be enough to prevent her from repeating the dose here.

Rion Rubette (F)
Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Wasn't seen to best effect that day and each-way chance granted a more favourable scenario here.

Greek Flower (M)
Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 16 to Glory To Be in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 7 days ago. 5 lb better off with that rival now and she's not ruled out.

Zous And Me (F)
Slow off the blocks when trailing in 15½ lengths seventh of 9 in the Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) on final run of last season. Opposable.

Tahcawin (F)
Winner of a Fairyhouse nursery in September before coming home a below-par twelfth of 30 in minor event at the Curragh (7f, soft) 5 days later. Absent since but could have a part to play if fully tuned-up for this.
