FULL IRISH has hit the crossbar on both of his career starts to date and he looks well placed to get off the mark at the third time of asking. Napoleon's War and Nasty Habit aren't out of it either.

CHUBLIN was well held in third when competing at stakes level last time, but she should find this a lot easier. Cluck Cluck and Velvet Vixen are also worthy of consideration.

They didn't see which way PHAROAHS BABY GYAL went when she was last seen in January and, providing she is ready to go on her return to action, she could prove tough to beat. Continentalcongres and Mavilus could also get involved.

PRADO ROAD put in a very pleasing display to fill the runner-up spot in stakes company over C&D in October and he looks to have been found a golden opportunity. Three Captains and newcomer Come Rain Or Shine can follow him home.

WHISKEY AND RYE had Self Isolation (second) and Ms. Bucchero (eighth) behind when scoring by a length over C&D last month and she could prove very tough to beat again. Deco Strong completes the shortlist.

FREE ADMISSION produced a much better effort than her penultimate run when filling the runner-up berth last time, and she looks the one to beat. Rees and Golden Charm are far from out of it.
