Best form is a distant memory now, last home in a claimer at this venue four weeks ago. Others easily preferred.

Winner over C&D penultimate start, not quite as good since when upped in trip but given a chance now going back to the mile.

Goes down in trip and 5lb lower than when beaten just over five-lengths over 1m4f on sole previous run at this track in October.

Is a C&D winner but losing run stretches back to 2014, doing best work late on over this trip when returning from layoff in December.

Rarely makes it to the track these days, would have a chance on ratings based on previous AW form in Britain but first run for this trainer on heavy going at Limerick in October was poor.

Scored hat-trick around here last spring, twice over C&D, hasn't been seen since finishing down field in valuably Ayr handicap in May. Would have some chance if wound up.

Course winner in December, far from disgraced in follow up when beaten just two-lengths and gets 1lb now. Should be competitive dropping in trip.

Run pretty well in first two starts for this trainer, drops to the mile here and looks to have a chance of getting involved.

Scored over C&D last month, unable to repeat off increased mark when dropped to 7f since. Back to the mile now is positive but mark still a worry.

Off since disappointing in Navan turf maiden over a mile in October. Two runs here last season were both at 1m4f but needs to find more now dropped in trip on AW.

Most of his recent form has been a let-down, including over 7f here a fortnight ago. Is previous C&D winner but that form now a long time ago.

Eased up when last seen at Laytown in September over 7f, wrong at the weights for this and likely to find it tough going.

Forecasts

Poetic Choice (9/2), Shannon Soul (9/2), Our Manekineko (11/2), Keukenhof (11/2), Khabaray (6/1), Admodum (13/2), Settle For Red (14/1), Coreczka (16/1), Estrenar (16/1), Mulzamm (25/1), Sir Henry Raeburn (33/1), Bussa (50/1)

Verdict

Our Manekineko will be favoured by this switch back to a mile but he looks handicapped out of things for now. Like him, Poetic Choice was a C&D winner on his penultimate outings but struggled with the penalty over further since. They are both sure to go well at this trip but might have to give best to KEUKENHOF. The former C&D winner scored over further in December and ran well last time out off 4lb higher. With a 1lb back and the visor on for this shorter trip, she might be the answer. Coreczka was in superb form at this track last spring and while he's been off since May, he would be a threat if fit and should be watched in the market. 1. Keukenhof 2. Poetic Choice 3. Coreczka
