Selected odds by:
C&D winner of a maiden at this meeting 12-months ago when in the care of trainer Joseph O'Brien. Has looked to regressed since and others preferred.
Has found form in his last two starts running with plenty of promise at Limerick and Bellewstown but well held over this trip in the past.
Not disgraced over 1m2f when looking like needing further before a 3L defeat at Dundalk on the AW over 1m4f. Down the field in three career starts on turf is a concern.
Beaten favourite at Dundalk on the AW earlier this month but has been solid and consistent on the turf recently and is a leading contender in this company.
Won a 7f Roscommon handicap on good to firm ground last month of a 2lb lower mark. 10lb claimer puts him in with a chance of hitting the frame here.
Nothing of note in three dismal career starts since May and needs to improve significantly here.
Will have disappointed connections recently disappointing on the AW at Dundalk and in a couple of below par displays on turf last month. Others look open to more improvement.
Has a bumper and a hurdle win to his name but has so far failed to inspire in four starts on the AW. May find it tough going here.
Unable to halt the alarming slide in form with four horrid performances over a variety of trips on the Flat since March. Very little to be positive about.
Fourth of seven in a Sligo handicap last month appears to have been a one off as that run is a small highlight in a series of below par starts since April. Needs to improve significantly.
Not seen for over 12-months following three grim displays in maiden contests. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Useful 62-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer-Mick Appleby last seen in the winners enclosure when landing a Nottingham handicap over 1m2f in November. Nothing of note since including when well held on stable debut a week ago.
Lightly raced and remains a 14-race maiden including four heavy defeats when last seen on turf in 2015 for trainer Tracey Collins.
Displays glimmers of promise now and then but not looked like adding to her maiden win of 12-months ago at Naas in seven starts since.

TENNESSE WALTZ can build on his recent displays when finishing runner up in a couple of spins at Limerick and Bellewstown to land the spoils here in the opener. The seven-year-old is just 2lb higher than his last winning mark and can shake off the attentions of Military Hill who appears to ave found some old form and C&D winner Thomas O'Malley who now races off a 5lb lower mark than his last win.
