Stromberg
Second to subsequent Group 3 winner on debut and then won a couple of ordinary 7f contests easily at long odds-on; not clearest of runs and not beaten far when fifth of six in Beresford Stakes over 1m; entered in Derby/Irish Derby and stamina on dam-side of pedigree but still a bit of a doubt about him staying this trip.

Bremen
Brother to Yorkshire Oaks/Prix Vermeille winner Warm Heart so this trip should be fine; held at stakes level after winning Killarney maiden but did get closer to Deepone in Leopardstown Group 2 than Stromberg did in the Beresford and gets 3lb from that rival.

Euphoric
Very expensive yearling holds Dante/Derby/Irish Derby entries; 15-8 fav, ran green before getting up in final stride to land 1m Navan maiden in October; runner-up has relocated to Britain and is now rated 88 after a couple of AW wins; fair bit more needed here but open to loads of improvement.

Messerschmitt
Unfancied when getting there on the line to force a dead-heat in 1m Thurles maiden in October; given a mark of 85 for that so has a lot on his plate here.

Neski Sherelski
Justified favouritism when beating stablemate in 10.5f AW maiden in January; runner-up went one better next time but much stiffer task here on turf debut and is stable second-string.
