ROCK SOUND is closely related to plenty of winners and he represents a yard which was responsible for three winning newcomers earlier in the week. Castletownshend finished second on his debut late last season and he is surely capable of better than what he showed last time out. Similar comments apply to Case Stated, who did not improve upon a promising first run on his second start but the ground may have been against him on that occasion.

WISDOM MIND displayed plenty of promise on multiple occasions in France last year and the daughter of Dark Angel makes plenty of appeal on her debut for Joseph O'Brien. My Snowdrop and Its My Turn are others who should win races based on previous performances, while Chilled White is entitled to improve for her debut experience. Hand On Heart, who is out of a Canadian Grade 1 winner, and Cascella are two interesting newcomers.

LONGODDSON shaped with promise on both his starts last season and improved from his debut when a good third at Leopardstown at the end of October. The son of Bated Breath should get better with time and he can get off the mark at the third attempt. Newcomers Drayton Cross and Agent Zigzag both have appealing pedigrees and could both prove to be decent types in the future.

ONLYHUMAN is a lightly-raced individual who will definitely find this task a lot easier than the Irish Cambridgeshire last August as he makes his return to action after 237 days off. Edward Lynam is renowned for a patient approach with his horses and that could reap the rewards this season. Lucky Mistake can improve form his first outing of the year in the Irish Lincolnshire, while Dandys Gold looks best of the remainder.

WARNAQ is proving to be a solid dual-purpose type for connections and arrives here on a hat-trick in this sphere. The four-year-old is versatile in regards to distance and a 9lb rise for her recent Navan success might not be enough to halt her. Song Of Namibia isn't the easiest to predict but is lightly raced for his age, while St Lawrence Gap is a course winner but generally seems to need his first run back.

Remmy D wears first-time cheekpieces and seemed to cope well on turf debut at Navan earlier this month, while Easkey Lad could improve for wearing a first-time visor up in distance. Haunting Vocals is well drawn and continues to run well, but it is possible that FOR PLEASURE could turn this into a procession. A runaway winner at Navan two weeks ago, he remains unexposed and never looked like stopping during that success. A 9lb rise looks manageable and he will take all of the beating.

SONG OF THE SKY was strong at the finish when getting off the mark on just her second start for Joseph O'Brien and could continue her progress despite a 7lb rise. Capital Fund is interesting on handicap debut and warrants a market check at the very least, while Lizard Point has been running well on the all-weather throughout the winter and would have a solid chance here if transferring that form to the turf scene.
