Doubled career tally at Bellewstown (7.8f) in April. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 10/1) 86 days ago. Not out of things with yard amongst the winners.

20/1, last of 15 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 5 days ago, losing place from halfway. Needs to leave that well behind if she's to figure here.

22/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, run best excused when sixth of 9 in nursery at Naas (5.9f, heavy) in October, doing too much too soon. Feasible to think he can do better still this term and worth noting if strong in the betting back from 9 months off.

9/1
Winner at Listowel in June. 7/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 33 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Stable having good spell and return to 7f rates a likely plus.

Off the mark in a 6f maiden at the Curragh back in October but ended last term with a below par effort and not threatened in 2 starts so far this campaign. Visor replaces blinkers now.

LA TULIPE NOIRE got firmly back on track following 6 months off when runner-up at Ballinrobe 7 days ago, likely to have pushed the winner closer still but for conceding ground around the home turn. She earns the vote in the hope a quick turnaround doesn't catch her out. Rhythm King is also of interest back from a break and needs considering. Rumbled Again and Rio Largo complete the shortlist.
