Showed some promise on debut at Gowran Park in October over a mile when cutting out the running on heavy ground, less so on second start at Leopardstown over 7f when held up and poor at Tipperary last time when sixth of eight. Likely to struggle off this mark on handicap debut and nasty draw to negotiate.
Well beaten on her first four starts but promise on her latest when she was a bit of an eye-catcher. Good chance she will build on that and trainer has started the season in good form.
Nice third last time at Leopardstown last time, improving on her previous four starts and could be on a nice mark if she can build on that. Trainer in excellent form and jockey rides this course well.
Unplaced on all six starts, ran okay last time but never threatened and has to turn the form around with several of those rivals here.
Running okay at Dundalk in maidens this year and this step up in trip and the switch to turf combined with first time blinkers, could well unlock some improvement in this Dalakhani filly but draw won't be easy to overcome.
Well beaten in all four starts but likely to do better with time and the step up in trip ought to help. Looks on a feasible mark and any market support would be interesting.
Well beaten in soft ground at Naas on return to action and improved upon that effort at Leopardstown last time in a first time tongue tie. Interesting runner if it has the same effect this time and he can improve upon that effort.
Unplaced on all four starts but signs of promise last time when sixth of 19 at Leopardstown. Will have to turn the form around with some that finished ahead of him that day
Finished well held on all three starts to date but should do better upped in trip on handicap debut. Claimer well worth his 5lb; one of the more interesting contenders, particularly if there's market support.
More exposed than plenty in here and has proved to some extent that this mark is beyond him. Has a wide draw to overcome and he needs the step up to this trip to bring about improvement.
Well held in two maiden events over 7f on turf last season. Finished last of 20 on reappearance at Naas last time and hard to fancy on that back of that effort despite the first time blinkers.
Well held on all three starts and showed very little improvement for the switch of yards on his latest start. Significant absence to overcome and wears first-time blinkers.
Had shown little ability on his first two racecourse appearances last, over a mile at Leopardstown then over 7f at Dundalk. Hood (retained today) made no difference last time when last of 11 at Cork and seems an unlikely winner despite an eye-catching jockey booking.

Tilly's Chilli (4/1), Inescapable (9/2), Khudha (6/1), Level Of Intensity (7/1), Epitaph (8/1), Freedom Chimes (12/1), Memorial Rose (12/1), Galtymore (14/1), Future Frontier (16/1), Mister Saxman (16/1), Varkhann (20/1), Grey Waters (22/1), Litir Ghra (25/1), Dangerous Ground (33/1)
TILLY'S CHILLI appeared to have improved on her latest start when finishing third at Leopardstown and Jessica Harrington has been in good form in both codes in recent times so they're taken to score in what looks like a weak handicap. Inescapable looks like a threat when finishing fourth behind the selection last time while Epitaph could improve now upped in trip.
