Won with something to spare at the Curragh last time and the second and third have come out and won again since. That sets a good standard on form and the one to beat if ready to go after a break.
Trip may have stretched him at Dundalk last time but good effort the time before over 6f. Wide draw not ideal so jockey will have to be at his best and this colt may want fast ground to be seen to best effect.
Well beaten on all five starts for this yard and has all to prove now returning from a break and a wide draw.
Heavy ground winner last month and has the benefit of being race fit. Every chance if this run doesn't come too soon that he will be very hard to beat from a handy draw.
Off the mark last time with a maiden win at Dundalk but has a break to overcome and that's probably not the strongest form on offer. Trainer can get them ready after an absence though and this jockey booking is a positive (21.47% when combining with this trainer).
Yet to score in five starts but best effort to date came last time over C&D in similar ground than what she's get here. Hard to know what that form is worth and may be best watched on this occasion.
Missed the break and finished well beaten on all three starts to date. Trainer has a poor record at the track and with horses returning from a break so probably not one to put a lot of faith in.
Well beaten on last couple of starts at Naas and may be a bit of a mud lark, with her best two efforts coming on heavy ground. Won't get conditions that soft this time around and opposable on that basis.
Likely to improve, upped in trip on handicap debut and draw looks ideal but trainer's runners often come on for a break. Useful draw to play with and trainer has a good record here so not completely dismissed.
Back-to-back Dundalk winner in two starts this year and has race fitness on her side but 11lb higher mark looks tough to overcome in stronger company.
Well beaten on all three starts at Dundalk and hard to fancy on what he's shown so far but could well improve on handicap debut and trainer had a big priced winner last week.

Forecasts
Gino Severini (11/4), Pennsylvania (9/2), Room To Roam (5/1), Lost In Silence (13/2), Althiba (7/1), Art Nouvelle (7/1), Lady Rosebud (12/1), Settle For Bay (16/1), Loose Chippings (16/1), Intensely Focussed (16/1), Ambiguity (16/1), Gifted Lady (33/1)
Plenty will depend on whether ART NOUVELLE/b> is ready to go on his reappearance having won a nice looking race at the Curragh last time. Gino Severini could give the selection something to think about with race fitness on his side while Pensylvania should appreciate the drop back in trip.
