Fifth of nine beaten 5¼L in a 1m handicap when last seen on the AW at Dundalk when not unbacked in March. Watching brief on comeback.
Not beaten far in a couple of encouraging displays at Gowran Park and Leopardstown recently. Likable type and shortlisted here.
Continues to baffle connections by remaining a maiden after 12 starts, often having been well supported in the betting. Hard to place any faith in.
Winner earlier this month winning a 7f, 18-runner handicap at Cork getting off the mark for connections at the ninth time of asking. Another bold show is likely.
Winner of a 1m½f handicap at Cork in April but subsequently well held in a couple of appearances when last seen in May. Plenty more needed here.
Nothing of note in three starts as a juvenile including when last seen in September last year. Form doesn't warrant support here on stable debut.
Not much to shout about in four starts as a three-year-old and first time blinkers less likely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.
Well beaten when finishing down the field in four disappointing career starts since June and is liable to find a couple stronger in this contest.
Well beaten in three career starts as a three-year-old and first time cheekpieces doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.
Well beaten and no impression in three starts this season and others look open to more improvement here.
Finished 15th of 18 earlier in the month beaten 40L at the Galway festival. Could be worth a market check making handicap debut.
100/1 finished 10th of 18 beaten 15L in a Galway festival maiden earlier this month. Huge step up needed.
Has failed to build on a head win in a 7f Roscommon handicap last month off a 2lb lower mark. May find one or two progressing at a quicker rate.
Won a 7f Gowran Park handicap last month before disappointing in a Gowran Park contest as beaten favourite recently. Improvement needed but not out of the question.
Best effort so far came when finishing 3½L seventh over 7f at Dundalk back in March. Market should be informative.
First Reserve: In poor form and first time cheekpieces less likely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

The manner of the 1L win of LADY SONIA at Cork recently suggested that the Lord Shanakill filly would relish further and can follow up that win here defying a 5lb penalty. In a competitive contest, Goneinsixtyseconds, Daliyah and Turnkey can give the selection plenty to think about.
