9st 4lb

J: Gary Carroll

T: Gavin Cromwell

Won three good ground handicaps at up to 2m1f last year (including here); running okay in defeat this year without much respite from the handicapper until dropped 3lb after recent Killarney run; back to last winning mark so don't rule out.

Empress Alma

10st 0lb

J: Robert Whearty

T: Gavin Cromwell

Won three good ground handicaps at up to 2m1f last year but yet to hit top form in this campaign, recent Galway run in this grade was ordinary (three of today's rivals ahead); needs a bit more respite from the handicapper.

OR: 68

Form & Verdict
Three-time Flat winner; scored off 3lb lower at Tramore (2m, good) earlier this month and has since finished second over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m3f, good); best form on good-good to firm so probably needs the track to dry out.

Bounced back to form with a close third under a positive ride over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July; closely matched with Friary Road on that running; another good effort to secure second place when out of the handicap at Tramore last time; could go well.

Miss Gitana

8st 9lb

J: Julian Pietropaolo

T: Joseph Anthony Murray

Bounced back to form with a close third under a positive ride over 1m7f at Leopardstown last month; form of that race is questionable and she's 4lb out of the weights, but C&D winner last summer and her rider's claim helps; trainer returned to the winners' enclosure at Galway earlier this month.

Form & Verdict
First reserve; dual-purpose sort won at Navan in April (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower; decent effort when third of 9 at Leopardstown latest; cheekpieces replace visor worn that day; has run respectably here before; minor place claims.

3-36 on the Flat and 2-30 over hurdles after signing off for Paul Flynn with a Punchestown win last October (2m, good to yielding); has been running okay on the AW for this yard; not discounted.

Won over 2m at Tramore last August for Paul Flynn; yet to reach that form for his new stable, just fourth of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago; more is required despite an easing mark.

Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action.
