Probably ran slightly better than her finishing position in a Navan handicap last time but others look more likely.

Form & Verdict
Handicap winner for Jessica Harrington last year; consistent enough this year without looking like winning; might need to come down a bit more in the handicap.

Regressive this year until taking advantage of a reduced mark to score over 6f at Fairyhouse in September; backed that up with 6f win here; not as effective over this trip since.

Form & Verdict
Dundalk maiden winner as a 2yo and went close over C&D on return; probably unsuited by 5f at the Curragh last month and may resume progress with a good draw.

Five-time course winner (four at this trip), most recently in December off 73; good second (not clear run) in quite valuable Newcastle handicap following month but needs to bounce back from underwhelming C&D effort three weeks ago.

Irish mare who has a record of 211211, all at Dundalk, since rejoining this stable; has shot back up the weights during that period and now goes into deeper waters but can't be dismissed in current form.

Form & Verdict
Did well at Dundalk over the winter and went close at Listowel last month off his higher mark; might not have been suited by quicker ground at Ayr a month ago; hooded here and has a chance on his best form, even if the draw could have been kinder.

Added his fifth win (third on AW) when winning cosily over 6f here in January off 5lb lower (has won off a mark of 72 before); hampered when attempting to follow up over this C&D next time, finishing a 2.5l fourth; not at his best back on turf at the Curragh last time (heavy); cheekpieces on now and claims if on song.

Five-time winner; both turf wins on good ground; in good form on the AW and capable off this mark but underfoot conditions a big worry for him here.
