Early form in three maidens and a handicap wasn't anything particularly exciting and much more would be needed to get competitive in this big field handicap.

Has improved with just about all of his runs so far but will need a big leap forward here in order to figure towards the end.

Soundly beaten on all three starts so far but looks interesting now switching to handicap company. Initial mark looks high enough and is best watched here.

Fair eighth in a nursery when last seen at Leopardstown in October. Will need to take a step forward from last year's form to be involved here but looks progressive.

Five race maiden who makes his first appearance at any further than 6f, and so remains totally unexposed over these sorts of distances.

Lightly raced maiden who ran pleasingly enough on handicap debut at Limerick in October. Down 6lb for that which looks lenient and she could go very well here.

Ran some consistent races towards the back end of last season including a close fourth when last seen at Dundalk (standard, 1m) in November. Should be thereabouts in this.

11 race maiden but has shot down the handicap since switching from maiden company and coupled with likely improvement that gives him a fair chance here.

Came into his own towards the end of his juvenile campaign with a narrow victory in a 7f handicap before winning well enough dropped down to 6f. Interesting with the step up in trip today.

Only a moderate performance when tenth on return at Dundalk over 7f in March. May be better for that run and should show more now sent back over a mile.

Five race maiden who was clearly never viewed as a maiden winner by connections who switched him to handicaps as quickly as possible. Has progressed in this sphere but will need a career best by some margin to get involved here.

20/1
Makes her handicap debut having been beaten by 10L+ on all three starts in maidens. Initial mark looks fair but she'll still need to come on some way to show the quality required to win a handicap such as this.

Has shown next to nothing in three racecourse appearances so far and she has it all to do if she's going to get involved here.

Form has been fairly evenly matched with that of her stablemate La Cumparsita, and holds similar claims on the basis of having finished down the field in a series of weak-looking maidens.

Put in a better performance at Gowran last time on ground that is likely to be similar to what he'll experience today, but as another big leap forward would be needed for him to finish in the money here.

Verdict

This is another very open looking handicap on this card. Bouquet Garni ran well towards the end of last season, looks progressive and shouldn't have a problem with today's weight, while What About Bob is an interesting contender now stepped up in trip, a move which could suit the gelding with Ronan Short claiming a valuable 7lb. Preference though, is for LATCHET. Jim Bolger's promising filly ran with enough credit on handicap debut back in October to suggest that there should be more to come. She's down 6lb and goes for a yard who are often in good form at this time of year.
