Poor on last couple of starts but has gone well here in the past and the drop in trip could be just what the doctor ordered; looks one of the more likely ones.

Largely contested over further, although has shaped well over an extended 6f in the past and with a rating of 65, no reason why he won't be competitive here; sporting chance.

Form & Verdict
A 21-race maiden ran miles above expectations when chasing home a 92-rated rival in a well contested Curragh maiden; with such a long losing run, could be costly to take that run as gospel but at least she comes here in fine form and has solid looking claims now.

Form & Verdict
Some signs of returning to best, notably on latest at Down Royal (Maiden 5f) where he ran as well as could be expected, posting one of his better RPR's in the process; bit more required on the books here, although rider's 7lb claim will aid his cause.

Has not really set the track alight around here but some snippets of form suggest she could play a part, and the first-time visor could also bring about better; 10lb claiming apprentice shaping up nicely.
