Form & Verdict
Good money-spinner last season, winning four in a row between August and October; margins were narrow on three occasions, so he got away with a fairly modest rise in the ratings; back to form in style with Cork win from All Lies Ahead, with several other members of this field behind.

Wonderfully durable handicapper with 11 wins to his name, the latest being on his favoured soft ground at Roscommon in September; returned to form at that track two starts back, where he handled good ground, and fine run at Limerick (yielding) last month when narrowly beaten by an in-form 3yo; easier ground would be ideal, but still the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Progressive filly beat Loingseoir at Leopardstown on seasonal debut and bumped into a smart type when runner-up at Gowran; likely to go close again after Cork second to Earls; facing into rematch with winner, fourth, fifth and sixth.

Form & Verdict
Fair placed form before long odds-on for Leopardstown maiden last July; not a factor in the Group 2 Royal Whip on final start at three, but did not get the best of runs; one of the less exposed runners, potentially interesting on handicap debut.

Useful on the Flat at best, 1m2f winner on good; respectable efforts in maiden hurdles here in April/May; hard to fancy on subsequent form; very poor run in first-time blinkers at Cartmel on latest, heavy ground may have been an issue.

Largely consistent veteran whose seven wins range in trips from 7f to 1m4f, most recently at lower limit at the Curragh last autumn; recent Leopardstown fourth (Green Kite second) was a seasonal-best but this ground possibly on the quick side.
