Good servant won over this trip at Cork in April, his first time winning away from AW; second over 1m here last month; good spin for inexperienced claimer, but others preferred.

J: Jessica Maye

T: J P Murtagh

A seven-time AW winner, he scored his first turf win at Cork in April over 10.5f; didn't get the clearest run so it was a cracking effort over C&D last time behind Kalir; up 2lb and is one to consider.

J: Colin Keane

T: Gordon Elliott

Dual-purpose sort who made it 2-3 on the Flat with an easy win on the beach at Laytown 22 days ago; that still leaves him with something to find on RPRs but there could easily be more to come.

Dual-purpose; won on the Flat in a Killarney maiden in May (1m, good); followed up in a Cork maiden hurdle in July; never involved on Flat handicap debut at Galway (9.5f, yld-sft) but was drawn wide; unproven on sand, but eased 5lb and can't discount.

8st 11lb

J: Jamie Powell

T: J P Murtagh

Has the merit of being a C&D winner; stable won this race last year, when he took fourth place; fair run when fourth at Leopardstown two months ago; appeals as one who could make his presence felt at a decent price; each-way option in a very competitive race.

Some decent maiden form last year, particularly when third over this trip at Thurles in October; first two handicap runs only fair; much better when finishing well to take third over 7f at Leopardstown; best of the remainder behind a front-running outsider over 1m at Killarney; will need to surpass his official rating to score here.
