1m heavy ground winner last year; a couple of decent efforts this season, including when a never nearer fifth of 22 at Leopardstown on latest (1m1f, good); rain no issue but has never raced over this far so stamina to prove but dam won over 1m4f so not dismissed.

Is on a dangerous mark and it wasn't a bad effort on return from 419 days off at Bellewstown last month; should strip fitter now and has won twice at just short of this trip at Dundalk; not discounted.

Decent operator at a level on turf and AW, his most recent win coming in a 1m2f Dundalk handicap in January last year; not seen since third in a Tipperary handicap 14 months ago; market may prove the best guide.

Irish raider who won a 0-50 classified event over the weekend; this looks a bit more competitive under a 4lb penalty but the longer trip will suit, with him taking a while to get on top over 1m2f at Ayr; goes on the shortlist.
