Aidan O’Brien’s Ballydoyle outfit run maiden winners Fightfortheroses and Sir Erec Dermot Weld runs Jaega Jessica Harrington sends out The King while Jim Bolger is represented by smart performer and potential winner Twilight Payment

Wargrave had previously finished third at Listed level at Tipperary and could prove too strong for Group One-winning trainer Patrick Prendergast’s Could Be King who has himself shown useful form at Group level. Gentil J has been whacked with a 17lbs hike for winning easily at Galway last month but the Harry Rogers-trained mare might still prove competitive in the Limerick On Facebook Munster Mile Handicap.
