Form & Verdict
Mehmas colt has clearly the best form of those to have run, following up very promising Dundalk debut (green) when close third (second has won since) in a blanket finish to Cork maiden earlier this month, having been hampered then staying on well; encounters much softer ground here but big shout if handling it.

A fairly useful ex-Irish 5f winner; yet to hit top form for his current yard but better signs when ninth of 14 in 5f Newcastle handicap three weeks ago; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark if building on it.

Ex-Irish 4yo; best run for current stable when ninth at Thirsk last month; the return to 5f/AW won't faze him but this looks a warm race in which to end his losing streak.

He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form for David Marnane but he was well beaten on his stable debut at York last October and it was the same outcome there this month on his return; he has plenty to prove.

Fractious before the start and got upset in the stalls but promising Curragh debut last month; not as effective on better ground under forcing tactics at Chester however, not getting home; return to 5f may suit but needs to improve to play major role.

Only one win (14 races) but that 1m handicap in June was at this track; ran respectably next time and rallied into a close fourth of five for slowly run race on latest; needs to find extra but his tongue-tie (worn two and three starts back) is restored and new trip now looks worth a go.
