13-race maiden whose best efforts in 2018 came over middle distances. Lost her way towards the end of 2018 but fifth of 13 on return at Gowran (1m) more like it and now back up in trip he could be ready to go close.
Only won one of 17 on turf so his two promising runs in as many starts for this yard on AW at Dundalk last winter not sure to be built on back on turf although in such a weak race he can't be ruled out.
12-race maiden but has shown enough to think he will win a race soon enough. That said most of his best efforts have come on AW and back on turf latest he was well held at Leopardstown.
Veteran, ran plenty good races but ultimately winless in 15-race winter campaign at Dundalk (multiple course winner). Sixth of 21 on turf season bow respectable and should be in the hunt for a place here.
20/1 winner of a Clonmel claimer latest after a spell hurdling. That her first ever win but cautionary tale that she's never previously even placed and often struggled in handicaps. Perhaps however she is now improved.
Long-standing maiden (0-25), has on occasion threatened and didn't run badly over 1m3½f (soft) at Limerick on second start back but well beaten since and on balance best avoided.
Long-standing maiden only placed once in 16 career starts and that almost a year ago now. Recent AW runs pretty dismal and starting to doubt she ever wins a race.
Six-race maiden on the Flat, not showing great ability. Fared no better in pair of starts over hurdles around turn of the year and makes little appeal on return.

Maunganui (11/4), Royal Admiral (3/1), Sharjah (10/3), Pari Passu (9/2), Lizard Point (10/1), Paddytheirishman (12/1), Deauville Society (14/1), Utalkintomeboy (25/1), Roses Queen (33/1)
A very weak handicap can go the way of MAUNGANUI who was something like his old-self on return and now over a more suitable trip he ought to build on that. Likable veteran Sharjah looks a pretty safe each-way bet in this company. Perhaps the recent claiming success of Deauville Society was the start of her coming good, surely she should go well based on that.
