Comment: Best effort for Ralph Beckett came over 7f on AW at Wolverhampton; ordinary form in three maiden runs for this stable over three different trip; slotted into handicap company effectively when beaten only a short head over this trip at Fairyhouse; winner Lively is due to put form to the test in the 2.30 race.

Comment: Encouraging debut run behind Woodshaw Whisper at Dundalk in March but well held twice since in turf maidens (cheekpieces tried latest now discarded) over further; of limited appeal entering handicaps but drop back in trip should suit but predicted rain may not.

5/2

Comment: Kingman filly comes from top-class Aga Khan family; promising Leopardstown debut in April when staying on late over 1m2f but didn't make the anticipated improvement following month when odds-on for similar contest, flashing tail and hanging for pressure; questions to answer after latest but has the ability to play a major role.

Walk The Highline

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: J P Murtagh Age/Wt: 3/9-3

Comment: Kodiac filly cost 165,000gns as a yearling; first foal; dam 1m2f 2yo/11.4f winner (RPR 78), half-sister to smart 1m-1m4f winner Windshear; market probably best guide on debut.

Green Rose

Jockey: L F Roche Trainer: D K Weld Age/Wt: 3/9-3

Comment: Saxon Warrior half-sister to 1m/1m1f winner Alessia Fernanda (RPR 84); dam once-raced (34) half-sister to Listed winners Tha'Ir (7f-1m2f) and Flashing Colour (7f); seemingly the Weld second-choice on debut.

Comment: Siyouni filly cost 75,000gns as a yearling and 110,000euros as a breeze-up purchase; no real threat on both AW runs last winter for Danny Murphy, well-backed favourite on debut when tongue-tied; makes turf debut and first runner for rookie trainer.

Comment: River Boyne filly is second foal of a 1m winner (RPR 70), a sister to useful 6f-1m winner Sir Roderic, and half-sister to useful winners Comfort Line (7f/1m) and Dew Line (1m1f-1m4f); debutante possibly best watched.

Candleford Green

Jockey: S Foley Trainer: W P Mullins Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 2-6

Comment: Sea The Stars filly lost out narrowly over 7f at Leopardstown last October on sole start at two; favourite, denied a clear run from 1f out on seasonal return at Naas last month when 3/4l off Angelight; should appreciate this longer trip and no surprise if she turned the tables on that rival here; big player.

7/4

Comment: Two wins last year included valuable C&D success in conditions event; some good runs in Listed company afterwards on softer ground, below best on seasonal return in Group 3 at the Curragh; has to be respected given her overall profile and easier ground in her favour.

Comment: Wide-margin maiden winner here last October and career-best on returning here early this month in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by blinkers) in very valuable conditions event over this trip, staying on late to deprive Dignam of third; could have more to offer at this distance.

Comment: Lightly raced 3yo ran away with C&D maiden in April (yielding) but never counted in strong Leopardstown Listed early this month (2l off Cristal Clere); remains a potential improver and this looks a weaker race.

Dignam

Jockey: M W Hassett Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'Brien Age/Wt: 3/9-6 F: 0-5664 OR: 89

Comment: Won Tipperary maiden last September and ran respectably in a French Group 3 next time; something of a return to form over C&D early this month when deprived of third late on by stablemate Viking Invasion in very valuable conditions event; more needed and stronger stayers in the field.
