Both his wins were over six furlongs and best performances have been at that distance.

Last win 11 months ago, and now 3lb better in, but hard to predict when she might hit form. Has won over C&D.

Visor applied for first time but cheekpieces had no discernable effect last time out.

After 78 races in Ireland, the veteran has switched stables and is sent over for this race. Watch the early market.

Running off the same mark of 46 that has proven too much here recently.

Sent over from Co. Meath by the successful Gordon Elliott but nothing in the form to recommend.

Newly acquired cheekpieces the only hope for a big step up in form.

A few of these likely to be too sharp for this veteran.

A pound out of the handicap shouldn't make a poor case any worse.

No significant form to speak of and looks to be booked for another disappointing performance.

Forecasts

Athassel (10/11), Evident (13/2), Captain K (8/1), Rigid Rock (10/1), Fossa (14/1), Kaaber (14/1), Ershaad (14/1), Zed Candy Girl (16/1), Firgrove Bridge (22/1), Castlerea Tess (33/1), Birdie Must Fly (66/1), Minty Jones (80/1)

Verdict

A lot of ageing or disappointing types and the rejuvenated ATHASSEL looks the business if reproducing his latest form. The Irish trained Captain K andRigid Rock have presumably been sent over for a reason. 1. Athassel 2. Captain K 3. Rigid Rock
