Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: F Birrane| OR: 63| D

20/1

Distance winner of a Dundalk handicap in November on a surface he is much more at home with remaining a seven race maiden on turf. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Idyllic Acrylic⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J A Heffernan| T: W M Roper| OR: 59

20/1

Fairyhouse winner in June last year off a 11lb higher mark but form has been gloomy since. Well below-par form looks set to continue despite chances from the handicapper.

Form: 130-560

Littlevix⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 58

10/1

Showed plenty promise in maidens last year, but a long way below that form in three handicap outings this season including a heavy 17½L defeat in a Curragh 6½f handicap last month. Easily resistible on current form.

Form: 343-090

Landline^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 56

4/1

Consistent gelding by Vocalised who deserves a change of luck given a couple of near-misses recently. Entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 611403

Luna's Luck¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ronan Whelan| T: M Halford| OR: 56

4/1

Weakened in the final furlong of a promising run here in a 7½f handicap last month following a number of disappointing performances since April. Open to improvement but plenty to prove.

Form: 000506

Voyageofdiscovery²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 56| D

16/1

Three-time distance winner the latest of which came in a Gowran Park handicap in October off a 5lb higher mark. Likable type who could make a bold bid.

Form: 804400

(8)

New Identity^h¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: D P Linehan⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Martin| OR: 55

6/1

Won for the second time in 19 starts on turf in a Killarney 1m handicap last month off a 5lb lower mark. Has struggled regularly running from this mark in the past.

Form: 76-0931

(7)

Latchet¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K J Manning| T: J S Bolger| OR: 53

8/1

Solid and consistent on the AW at Dundalk up to the turn of the year and done no favours by the heavy ground on seasonal bow at Leopardstown in April. Market likely to be the best guide here.

Form: 03432-6

(4)

Tide Of Time⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: E Lynam| OR: 53

14/1

Well held on his two desperate starts this term and unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Form: 969-00

Cosmic Symbol^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: G Webb| OR: 50| CD

20/1

C&D winner, last win on the Flat came last September off a 10lb higher mark. Clearly has regressed of late and well below-par form looks set to continue here.

Form: 030000

(5)

Fastidious^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 50| D

10/1

Unplaced in all seven starts this year. Handicap fallen by 13lb during that span but of advancing age and doesn't appear likely to take advantage any time soon.

Form: 680580

(6)

Shoellen¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: W J Lee| T: T Doyle| OR: 50

25/1

Not seen for over two years before making her return to the track in April. Well held on both seasonal starts and hard to place any faith in.

Form: 4078/00

(13)

Lady Sandy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S M Crosse⁽⁷⁾| T: A Fogarty| OR: 53

66/1

Well beaten and never a factor in a number of horrid displays since May. Remains a 17-race maiden with 10 of those defeats coming on turf. Looks a tall order.

Form: 870900

(15)

Miss Opportunity^t¹¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: E O'Connell| OR: 45

12/1

Plenty to like about her two starts this term at Cork and Tipperary in the spring. Eight-race maiden may need the run on comeback.

Form: 0000-34

(11)

Snap Click^b³²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: J T Gorman| OR: 45

25/1

Winner of two of his 33 starts on turf the most recent coming in September 2015 off a 7lb higher mark. Last seen beaten on the AW at Dundalk in October and best watched on return here.

Landline (4/1), Luna's Luck (4/1), New Identity (6/1), Latchet (8/1), Fastidious (10/1), Littlevix (10/1), Miss Opportunity (12/1), Tide Of Time (14/1), Hitchcock (14/1), Voyageofdiscovery (16/1), Cosmic Symbol (20/1), Idyllic Acrylic (20/1), Glenmoore (20/1), Snap Click (25/1), Shoellen (25/1), Mystical Affair (50/1), Lady Sandy (66/1), Patrice's Wish (200/1)

The solid and persistent LANDLINE has gone close on three occasions since landing a double at Naas earlier in the season and could possibly get back to winning ways here at the expense of distance winner Voyageofdiscovery and the Jim Bolger-trained Latchet.
