Winner over this trip at Kempton in August and ran respectably in three subsequent outings for previous yard. Makes her debut for a new trainer here wearing a hood for the first time.
Winner of a 7f handicap at Dundalk in October and stepped up on his debut for this yard when finishing 3L third at the same track over 1m in February.
Successful at Wolvehrampton off a 3lb lower mark in December. Well held at Dundalk over 1m later that month and returns to turf here with underfoot conditions likely to suit.
Winner over hurdles in a first time hood (left off since) on his penultimate outing in August. Beaten a short-head when last seen in action at Laytown over this trip in September and successful over C&D in the past.
Runner-up at Dundalk in February but well beaten the last twice. Racing off a mark 11lb higher than for her most recent turf success.
Finished third the last twice including at Cork over an extended 1m on heavy ground last weekend. Likely to put in another good effort dropped in trip here.
Beaten 3L when fifth of 18 at Naas last month on his most recent outing. now rated 12lb lower than when last successful and likely to appreciate ground conditions today.
Twice a winner last season including off a 4lb lower mark over this trip at Listowel on heavy ground in September. Disappointed on the AW when last seen out and likely to come on for the run.
Winner of two of his last three outings. The most recent of those came at Laytown over 7f last time out. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and would likely prefer better ground than is predicted here.
Inconsistent performer with best recent efforts coming when runner-up over 7f at Dundalk in late 2016. Finished last of 11 at the same track in January however and returns from a break in this.
Winner three times on the Flat but has been running over hurdles of late. Beaten 5L when third of 19 on penultimate outing over hurdles but well beaten subsequently. Makes his first start since December today.
Finished runner-up at The Curragh in August on his penultimate outing. Well beaten fifth at Listowel subsequently and have to go back to June 2013 to find his only career success.
Victorious in a 7f maiden event at Dundalk in November but failed to beat a rival home over 6f on handicap debut there subsequently. Plenty to prove here in a first time hood having run very wide early on at St Moritz last time out.
Finished 2L third of 16 in a 7f handicap at Naas on soft-to-heavy ground when last seen in action in October. Last success came a month earlier in a 20 runner handicap over this trip at The Curragh but she's likely to come on for this run.
Finished third in a claiming maiden at Bellewstown in August but well held at Gowran Park subsequently. Makes his handicap debut here.
Run well on each of his five career outings to date. Beaten odds-on favourite at Dundalk in a maiden event in January on his latest outing and making his handicap debut in this.
Finished fourth the last twice in sprint events at Dundalk. Beaten 1¼L when contesting a ten runner event there last time out and upped in trip for his handicap debut today.
Sole success came on the AW at Dundalk in February. Well beaten in three outings at that track since and seeking a first victory at the 12th attempt on turf today.

BAINNE has been running well recently and can register an eighth career success in this 7f contest. The selection finished third in a large field at Cork at the weekend and is taken to get the better of Wheels Of Fortune who had been running well on the AW prior to a disappointing maiden effort last time out while the veteran Bubbly Bellini should appreciate underfoot conditions and can claim third.
