First-time cheekpieces may help to focus her mind after running well on recent seasonal reappearance. Plenty of weight but has the form in the book to match.
Purchased by new connections for €16,000 at the end of last season after showing ability but looking anything but a straight forward ride. Change of scenery may have freshened him up.
Won twice at this time last season. Been hurdling through the winter before running an interesting race back on the Flat last time. Not without hope in a wide open contest
Fully exposed handicapper who face a few tough tasks last term but shaped with promise on first start this year at the Curragh. May come on for that outing and cannot be ruled out of calculations.
Handicapper gradually releasing his grip and may now have reached a more feasible mark. More needed though than produced at the end of last season.
Got off the mark at the seventh time of asking in Dundalk maiden back in January. Has respectable turf form though so has a squeak if putting her best foot forward.
Not disgraced on first attempt at this trip at Dundalk last time out but this looks tougher and may find a few too good.
Scored over hurdles at Killarney in August but beaten a number of times since and returns to the level for the first time in 12 months. Not an obvious contender on the balance of form shown to date.
Five-year-old maiden with patchy form and connections finally reach for the blinkers in the hope of bringing about some improvement. Hard to recommend.
Did well to land two small handicaps last season and shaped with a degree of promise on her seasonal return recently. Any market movement in the right direction would be a positive sign.
Very lightly raced over the last 12 months and may well have had some issues. Doesn't appear an obvious contender.
No great shakes but stays well and landed a 1m5f Navan handicap last term. Top yard perseveres suggesting they feel he may be up to winning again so has to be respected.
Well backed and went very close to landing the spoils at Leopardstown earlier this month. A similar effort would put this gelding right in the mix and he has to be one for the short list.
Should be fit after a spin at Chelmsford last month where he kept on in the closing stages to finish 5th over this trip. Could be up to grabbing a place, at best.
Showed very little last term until a better effort on final start when fourth at Gowran Park. Still rates one of the outsiders though and would have to really build on that last run to get involved.
Shown nothing in five outings to date and would take a massive leap forward to be in any way involved in this event.

In a wide open handicap LIGHT THAT might be the answer if reproducing his latest run when going close in a big field. Most of these appear fully exposed but there could be better to come this term for Ask Katie who landed a couple of events in 2016. Top weight Nonetheless is a contender with the cheekpieces applied in the hope of providing some improvement, while such as Remarkable Lady and Shingari are others to enter calculations.
- Light That
- Ask Katie
- Nonetheless
