Vallarta pops up now and again in race like this and Blue Whisper had been going well at Dundalk prior to his latest run when poorly drawn. Colour Contrast was second twice here last year but is now 0-30 in career starts. Downtown Diva has run 31 times without winning but Adrian Keatley puts on the blinkers on her first run for the yard. BAREED has raced only six times and looked to be improving at the end of last year. He also gets first-time headgear and could make a winning reappearance.
