Has shown nothing since finishing second at Listowel in September. Her best form is on a much easier surface, so the first-time application of a hood needs to produce a positive effect.
Gelded before making his reappearance in which he ran as though the outing was needed. Too soon to be writing him off given the promise of a couple of his juvenile runs.
Seems a much-improved perfomer at three, finishing runner-up at Cork before going one better at Navan. Has an obvious chance in a weak contest, and looks the safest option.
Second of four at Newbury when trained by Mick Channon, she has joined a stable enjoying a purple patch over jumps. If she has wintered well, she looks one of the more likely types.
Ran a reasonable race for his new stable when sixth of 15 at Cork. Entitled to have come on for that first outing of the season, he has an each-way shout.
Has shown only limited promise for her respected connections, but the step up to a mile promises to suit and it is too soon to be writing her off.
Did not show a great deal of promise as a juvenile and failed to beat a single rival in a 19-runner handicap at Leopardstown on her reappearance. She drops back two furlongs here and a first-time visor is fitted.
Only a glimpse of promise as a two-year-old and did not show much on his reappearance at Cork. Has plenty to prove at this stage.
Unplaced in three AW outings since being gelded, he switches back to turf and needs to make significant improvement to figure.
Finished in mid-division in two Dundalk maidens before a disappointing 19th of 20 on his turf debut at Naas. One of the less appealing runners.
Showed little in five outings as a two-year-old. He needs to have made progress over the winter to figure, but that is not impossible.
Three AW outings as a juvenile produced little in the way of promise, but he makes his handicap debut on turf with a top jockey booked. Worth a check in the market.
Not much promise as a two-year-old, and little better on her reappearance at Naas, just behind Mearu. Hard to fancy on the evidence so far.
Down the field in three maidens, he is clearly one of his top stable's lesser lights. Handicap debutant with a first-time tongue tie, so can't be completely ruled out.

Forecasts
Keep Believing (2/1), What About Bob (5/1), Shawami (6/1), Cashless (9/1), Pronounced (10/1), Wild Jack Duggan (10/1), Binary Code (12/1), Mearu (12/1), Landline (12/1), Dynamagic (12/1), Seapoint (16/1), Gifted Lady (16/1), Less Of That (16/1), Compatriot (20/1), Elzaa (25/1), Border Prince (25/1), Oliver's Wish (25/1), Wild Shot (33/1), Woodcarver (50/1)
Not much to shout about in this, but at least KEEP BELIEVING brings winning form to the table and seems likely to run his race. Several of these make their debut as three-year-olds and the two who catch the eye are Wild Jack Duggan and Shawami.
