Form & Verdict
Well bred and overcame greenness and a tendency to race freely when winning a 1m6f maiden at Navan (good; 9-2); drops markedly in distance for his second run but clearly useful.

Won Grade 1 Juvenile at the DRF last season; below best first three starts this season but better effort when a 7.5l third of 18 in Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest (2m, yld-sft); same mark here but stamina to prove for this longer trip.

This useful Flat performer was a Grade 1-winning juvenile hurdler last season; sustained an injury over the summer but there's been enough in two comeback runs at Leopardstown this winter (seventh to Bowensonfire in handicap latest) to think he retains his ability; not discounted.

Off since early June and now goes in blinkers, but this Gowran maiden winner ran a solid enough race in cheekpieces last time at Navan (1m2f, good) and today's softer surface should be up her street; respected.

11lb higher than for her handicap win at Tipperary in April (1m4f, yielding) but nearly won a Listed race last time at Roscommon (1m4f); did get floored by the 125-1 outsider but it was still a notable effort; in the mix.

Bombed out in a valuable Curragh handicap last time but had been progressing well, albeit over 1m4f; returning to softer ground will help, especially as it should bring his assured stamina into play.

Tipperary maiden winner a year ago and went close on handicap debut at the Galway festival; form dipped subsequently but returned with a facile Leopardstown success on first run since a gelding procedure and an 8lb rise is fair; may come on for that run and has to be high on the shortlist.

The lowest rated of these but not without hope at the weights and a bigger concern would be that she's exposed and below her best last time out; also has her stamina to prove.
