The Specsavers 2 For 1 Ulster Derby is the highlight of a seven-race card at Down Royal and Aidan O'Brien will attempt to land the prize again when he saddles Grand Admiral in the big handicap, having won with Changingoftheguard last year.
The one-eyed four-year-old has yet to win in five starts on turf, but the step up to a mile and three furlongs last time saw him destroy the field at Dundalk and with stamina assured he could be hard to beat.
Top-weight Eagle's Pass is likely to have a say, though, as he returned to the level with a solid fourth at Roscommon, while Ger Lyons' Ghetto Gospel goes in pursuit of a five-timer but is 40lb higher than when starting his winning spree.
The meeting opens at 2.20 with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, in which Mr Man In The Moon will be out to build on three placed efforts to date.
Bisou Baby has course experience having finished second here last time, so must be feared, while Ferocious Fran has shown enough to suggest she can land a race of this nature too.< Connyella looks worth another try at a mile and a half following her good third over shorter at Fairyhouse, so she could be tough to beat in the Fonacab 90333333 Handicap.
The Rossmeister is more certain to stay the trip, however, so it won't be plain sailing for Patrick Flynn's charge.
Only two go to post for the www.thetote.com (C & G) Maiden, so the application of blinkers may not have to work miracles to allow Seraakh to strike.
Last-time-out winner Belle Noverre will be out to defy a 5lb penalty in the Louis Roederer Handicap, while Edmondstown Lass and Desert Al could be the ones to concentrate on in the Taxi 90333333 Handicap.
