Perseids had a run in a barrier trial here before her debut at Naas where she showed good pace throughout but was no match for Gan Teorainn. Valkyrian didn't quite get the run of the race at Leopardstown and the runner-up has boosted the form subsequently when beating Marsh Lock at Tipperary though the latter will have come on a bundle for the run. Tea Tree Bay was staying on over 6f here last month while Not Even Close finished first in a barrier trial here a month ago. Boogie Woogie is by Dubawi out of the Irish/Yorkshire Oaks winner Seventh Heaven but all eyes here will be on STARRY EYED, a €1.5m daughter of Galileo out of a US Grade 1 winner.
