Ballinrobe maiden winner was a length off Daler back there last month (now 1lb better off); seemingly outstayed over 1m4f last time; touched off at Navan last year, so she goes left-handed; handicapped to win when everything falls into place.

Ballinrobe maiden winner in May (9.5f, gd-yld); stayed on well for a 2.25l third of 10 on handicap debut back there on latest (9.5f, yielding); good ground fine and this step up in trip looks the right move; big chance.

Went close in a 1m Navan maiden on the third of five starts last season; a revelation on reappearance over C&D, winning a maiden very easily from an 85-rated gelding; has since faced a stiff task when the outsider of four in a conditions race won by the subsequent Group 3 winner Sparan Nua; could be a handicap blot here.

Twice placed at two; missed all of last year; second in two turf maidens this year, and also a fair fifth of 16 in a competitive handicap at Cork; a bit too keen when not quite failing to match his best form on AW debut at Dundalk last month; good overall credentials for this.

Twice finished third at two and missed all of last year; first two runs this term were good, including fifth in decent handicap at Cork; in first-time blinkers, was no match for a patiently-ridden winner after trying to make all at Ballinrobe; first go on Polytrack and related to AW winners.

Maiden has finished in the first three in five of his nine Flat starts; not beaten that far in a Naas handicap latest (1m3f, good) when a shade keen early; eased 1lb and now wears a hood and tongue tie; could go well if settling better.

Zarak gelding didn't show much when slowly away on debut at Galway but left that behind when beaten a neck on his second start at Navan (1m2f, good); different ground to contend with here but he may be able to make that experience count in the first-time tongue tie.

Well bred and cost 550,000gns as a yearling, so they didn't expect to end up here; ran fine over C&D sole start at two; wasn't seen until 4-1 at Ballinrobe earlier this month, beaten a long way over 9.5f; maybe he didn't stay, but that might be too generous an assessment.
