Lost his maiden tag at Dundalk last time out following a respectable effort in Group class the time before. Entitled to need this on return though and market can reveal expectations.

Won his first two starts that included a Listed race at Dundalk. Habit of missing the break has perhaps not help in three starts since but he's of interest if he can get away on terms in first-time blinkers.

7/1
A winner at Limerick on second start following a promising debut but that came in 2016 and clearly not been the easiest to train, seen just once last year. Ran well on comeback but disappointed at Cork in last time and a risky proposition in here.

Progressive sort who won twice at Dundalk over the winter. May come on for his most recent effort when he shaped like he was in need of the run and can resume progress here.

Won back-to-back races at Dundalk at the start of the year but the handicapper put him up 15lb for the latest of those runs and he's struggled in three starts since as a result.

Ran well here on her second start in 2016 and returned with a win at Leopardstown in June last year. That success fresh obviously a positive on return from a break here and should enjoy the drop in class from Listed level.

Gained a first win since 2016 over C&D last time out but handicapper has given him an 8lb rise as a result. Place claims but others probably better handicapped.

Won in France but badly missed the break on Irish debut at Leopardstown last time. Suspicion that this is a fair mark but must break on terms in a competitive race here.

Won a valuable C&D handicap here in August and ran with credit at Leopardstown last time without threatening the principles. Handicapper has given him a real chance on return.

Has three career wins to his name but disappointed at Leopardstown when 14th of 18 when a favourite last time out and quite possibly not as effective on turf. Others preferred.

Losing run out to 16 now and dates back to 2016, tongue strap back on for seasonal bow but others have clearer credentials.

Won a maiden at Dundalk but he's struggled in handicaps in two starts since and may need more relief from the assessor.

Only seen twice last year and well below form on each of those starts. Some promise on return at Leopardstown but he's a risky proposition at present.

KATIYMANN is a progressive sort who may have needed the run when last seen. Elusive Time would have to be of interest if ready to go one return to action from a nice mark while Petticoat looks sure to enjoy the drop in class having plied her trade at Listed company in recent times and she is taken as the main danger to the selection.
