Admirable sort with seven wins and 17 places to his name; faces a tough task in this grade; has struggled in two turf starts this month following a Dundalk win. |

Brought up the rear last week at Navan but that was a tougher race than this and he had previously posted a seventh career win over 5f at Dundalk (3lb lower); no surprise to see him run well. |

Back to winning ways off 4lb lower at Dundalk on latest, making all to score by 0.5l; may find things tougher upped in grade off his revised rating (never won off a mark this high). |

8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

Six-time AW winner; was close up in third behind Clonmacash at Dundalk in April; second there on latest, reversing form with Clonmacash in the process; has the merit of being a C&D winner; definite chance for 10lb claimer who has made the frame in three of the five Irish races she has ridden in. |

Won a 7f Dundalk maiden in good style last October but hasn't really gone on from that, albeit some solid efforts; found 5f too sharp back at Dundalk last time and this trip will suit better; considered down 4lb. |

Looked useful when winning her maiden here over 7f but hasn't progressed as expected; didn't run at all badly in the new cheekpieces when beaten 3l at Naas (6f) but this will be her first time at 5f. |

Looked exciting when winning AW maiden over 7f but, in retrospect, didn't beat a great deal; bumped into a smart horse next time; well held both starts this year, beaten 9l in Madrid Handicap on latest; drops to 6f and better ground a help, as might be cheekpieces. |

9st 12lb |
5f Dundalk winner last season has yet to make much of an impact in handicap company; beaten 10l on latest at Fairyhouse (6f, good); eased 3lb and the drop back to 5f is a positive so not totally dismissed. |

Won a 5f Dundalk maiden last winter but was too keen when poor on return at Naas over 6f; two better efforts over 5f since but the suspicion is that he is better over that trip. |

Progressive profile on the AW last season but too keen when soundly beaten on turf/seasonal debut at Naas last month; better back at Dundalk since but doubts remain back on turf, especially if ground eases. |

Much stronger record on AW (5-30, placed nine times) as opposed to turf (1-25, placed four times); two of his last three starts on grass have been satisfactory; probably superior to stablemate Apache Outlaw. |

3-8 at Dundalk, 1-10 on turf; fair fifth over C&D before unplaced behind Cuban Grey on AW; this looks too competitive for him. |

Only fifth on soft ground last time but he had previously made it 3-7 here when cosily accounting for Lethimfly in March; only 3lb higher now but his wide draw is worrying. |

Three wins from four winter starts at Dundalk; soft going might not be ideal for his return to turf on a mark 16lb higher than when fifth of 16 in a C&D apprentice handicap last October. |

Nine-time winner including over C&D; no joy yet this season but ran better than the bare result from miles out of the handicap at the Curragh last weekend; this more realistic and lurking on a dangerous mark. |

Has a solid five-race record at this track and returns after winning for a second time on turf at Naas (5f), beating 15 rivals in the process under Patrick McGettigan; has a 6lb rise to deal with, but she's not exposed just yet. |

Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |

Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race. |
