CHARLEMAGNE is not one of the stable's leading lights, but the 180,000 euros purchase seemed to benefit from the drop to today's trip when second at Cork and could go one better today. Gipsy Touch finished ahead of the selection here last time, but that was over 7f and she may find this trip on the sharp side, while Without A Paddle has had plenty of chances to score, but is consistent and could make the frame.

Dafaroun started his successful run on the beach at Laytown, but after two more wins and a second since then, he is now 20lb higher, while Bricks And Porter has been raised 6lb for his victory in a 1m apprentice race and may find this trip too short. A course and distance winner in May, BAGGIO showed his continued good form with a win over 5f here, and looks a thoroughly progressive sort who can overcome his 9lb handicap rise.

GEMINI GOLD had subsequent winner Andramad over 2 lengths behind on her debut at Roscommon, and could take this race, which is sponsored by her owners. Fermion made a reasonable debut at Navan but this is tougher, while Ice Princess was a convincing winner of her maiden, but was found out in Group 3 company over 7f at Newmarket last time.

Huboob makes his Irish debut since moving from marcus Tregoning's yard and could be capable if improving on the formbook , while South Wind Rising drops to the trip which saw him finish second at Roscommon after struggling over 2m last time. CHEYENNE'S SPIRIT had Cheyenne Kiss behind when finishing down the field over a mile at Listowel, but as she's by Sadler's Wells, she may be more suited by today's trip and could get off the mark.

The drop in distance shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience to DANZELLINE, who was a close second in a similar race over 1m2f here earlier in the month. Listowel winner Orpailleur ran well off his new mark at Gowran last time and the grey should be thereabouts again, while Indian Pace has been in good form over hurdles lately. Max Scal could be the pick of the remainder.

DISCLOSURE can only improve on his encouraging second to the useful Kempes at Listowel last month and is fancied to see off the challenge of Carpocrates, who caught the eye on his debut over a shorter trip here three weeks ago. Caribbean has a bit of scope, while Pivotal Wish has done enough to suggest he'll be winning shortly and Decado could be a newcomer to note.

SKY HIGH FLYER, placed twice in Group 3 company earlier this season, ran a fair race behind Attraction in a Group 1 at Leopardstown last month and caught the eye behind Queen Titi at Naas last time. She may have too much speed for Navan fourth Eklim, who is likely to be seen over hurdles shortly. Elusive Double is probably best of the rest.
