Winner over 7f at Fairyhouse in maiden company last July. Failed to win in three Flat handicaps subsequently but has shown promise over hurdles, most recently when 15L fourth at Navan last month. Interesting off top weight here.
Winner off a 5lb lower mark at Killarney in July. Had just the two outings since and finished well beaten off a 1lb higher mark at Dundalk in November when last seen in action. Not written off just yet.
Winner at Dundalk on his penultimate out and beaten 3L when sixth there last time out. Best effort on turf came when fourth off an 11lb lower mark in October and interesting back on turf.
Remains a maiden after seven career outings. Beaten 2L at Dundalk over this distance when making his debut for this stable last month. Open to improvement here.
Best effort in maiden company came when finishing runner-up at Limerick 12 months ago. Well held in only handicap outing and beaten in a claimer since. Having his first run since being gelded here.
Sole success in 22 career outings came at Sligo 11 months ago. Now rated 2lb lower than for that success following a couple of poor runs at the end of last season and should appreciate underfoot conditions here.
Finished third off a 3lb lower mark on the AW at Dundalk last month but well beaten when blinkers were added to usual tongue tie subsequently. Blinkers have been left off here and makes just her fourth start for this yard today.
Registered a hat-trick on the AW at Dundalk around this time last year but well beaten in three subsequent outings (including sole effort on turf in Listed company). Rated 1lb lower than when last successful but a bit to prove back on turf.
Victorious at Newbury in August 2015 for this yard but well beaten in the main since. Best subsequent effort came when fifth over an extended 1m at Galway in September but probably best watched here.
Winner of his last three outings on the AW at this trip at Dundalk. Latest of those came off a 7lb lower mark a month ago. Yet to win in seven outings on turf but in good form at present and likely to go well again in this.
Successful at Yarmouth in August 2014 but disappointing since including on the Flat the last three times for this yard. Well handicapped on old form but probably best watched at present.
Has run well enough in six outings in maiden events to suggest she will be competitive in handicaps. Finished a 12L fifth of ten at Dundalk when last seen in action and worth a check in the market here.
Victorious at Cork on good-to-yielding ground over an extended 1m in October. Well beaten on her return to action at Dundalk on the AW last month but likely to fair better returning to her favoured soft ground today.
Well beaten in his last three outings including off a 6lb higher mark in a handicap at Tipperary in August. Last of 14 in a maiden at Dundalk a month ago and a bit to prove here.
Not beaten far when finishing fourth on his seasonal debut at Dundalk last month. Races off a 14lb higher turf mark here however and have to go back to a victory on the beach at Laytown in September 2015 for his last success.
Winner three times for her previous yard, the most recent of which came at Goodwood in August 2015. Finished last of 14 over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk last month and drops back in trip here.
Maiden after 14 outings, finished a 38L 11th at Dundalk over 1m4f last month and has plenty to prove here.
Had three outings in maiden company this winter. Well beaten when 17L 11th at Dundalk in January and worth a check in the market for a shrewd stable on handicap debut.
Beaten a short-head over 7f at Dundalk in January and followed up with a neck fourth over the same C&D a fortnight later. Sole success came on turf in 2015 and a tongue tie is added to the usual cheekpieces here.
Subsequently disqualified when finishing first at Chelmsford in February and well beaten fourth off this mark at the same track subsequently. Only success came on turf but well over four years since that victory and a risky proposition for win purposes.

TRY AGAIN can take what looks a competitive handicap as he goes in search of the four-timer here. Paul Flynn's charge's three previous successes came at Dundalk over 1m but he looks progressive and can get the better of his rivals in this. Of his rivals Carrigeen Prince is another who's been in decent from on the AW and his trainer has had a winner recently while the addition of cheekpieces make No Way Jack another worth noting in this big field handicap.
