Disappointing on his two hurdles efforts for this yard and unlikely to have much room for maneuver off this handicap mark. Up against it with a wide draw.

Progressive back in 2015 and while he didn't show anything on his comeback run at Naas, he was much better last time at Cork. Capable of building on that and looks a likely player in this.

Running well at Dundalk earlier this month, confirming the promise of a placed effort two starts back with a win last time out. Has never looked quite as effective on turf though (0-12) and he would probably want fast ground to be seen to best effect on turf.

8/1
Still a maiden after 12 starts and unplaced on all five of his latest efforts but has claims on bits of pieces of form including a Cork maiden he finished placed in on yielding ground back in 2015. Would have to have been drawn better to be of interest for betting purposes though.

Good second on at the Curragh towards the end of 2016 and operating from a 3lb lower mark now. Still a maiden but not without a chance if he's on a going day and primed for this after an absence.

Authorized filly has been something of a letdown to date and remains a maiden after seven starts, yet to even threaten the frame. Best watched for now.

12/1
Excellent third of 27 at the Curragh at the end of 2015 but missed the whole of 2016 through injury. Went okay for a while on debut at Leopardstown and entitled to have needed that effort so may do better here but wide draw tempers enthusiasm.

Unplaced on each of his last seven starts but useful on his day and back down to a particularly low mark so not dismissed despite his patchy profile of 3 wins from 55 starts.

Age: 4|  Weight: 8-13| J: Chris Hayes| T: P D Deegan| OR:  50

Still a maiden and unplpaced on all of her last 12 starts. One of her better efforts last time when sixth of 20 but clearly limited from an ability point of view.

Placed just once in 14 Flat starts and while he did finish second in a hurdles race at Tipperary, has failed to back that up since.

First run on the Flat since November 2015 last time when finishing well beaten on Dundalk and yet to place in either code in 12 starts.

25/1
Still a maiden after 22 attempts, seven on the Flat. Has looked capable of scoring off this kind of mark in this sphere but he's had an interrupted career in recent times and he's hard to fancy.

Not won on the Flat since 2014 but comeback run after over a year on the track wasn't devoid of promise last time when fading late. Will have needed the run and may be able to build on that, not dismissed.

Unplaced on all seven starts and showed nothing last time at the Curragh. Needs the first time hood to work miracles.

Bits of form that make her mildly interesting and best form has come with cut in the ground. Doesn't look as effective at this trip though.

Shown very little in four Flat starts and future career probably lies over hurdles. First Reserve.

Forecasts

Nulife (4/1), Bay Hill (11/2), Locus Standi (7/1), Mystery Gal (8/1), Glib Speech (8/1), Universal Focus (10/1), Talsara (12/1), Mallory Heights (12/1), Carta Blanca (16/1), Nicotina (16/1), Rockview Emperor (16/1), Grandma Dotty (20/1), Glendaars Best (25/1), Kates Doll (25/1), Muroor (25/1), Meadow Cross (25/1), French Quarter (33/1)

Verdict

BAY HILL's effort last time was promising and he may be slowly rebuilding after missing 2016. Universal Focus is a hit and miss performer but if he's ready to go first time out he could be interesting while similar can be said for Rockview Emperor who is also very inconsistent but capable of winning a race such as this on his day.
  1. Bay Hill
  2. Universal Focus
  3. Rockview Emperor
