Best effort for some time last month to be third of 14, beat 1½L over C&D. Just 1lb higher now and in first-time cheekpieces would be a serious contender if able to build on / repeat that effort.

Might well have got there last time over a mile at this track had he kept a straight line, colliding with the rail at a crucial stage. That was an improved effort in first-time blinkers (retained here) and will be competitive if showing same enthusiasm now.

Well beaten in a 2m handicap chase at Punchestown latest, though had been denied in agonising fashion over the mile at this track earlier last month. Down to 7f and up 2lb in the ratings but deserves to be considered.

Gained only AW win in 11 starts at this track over 7f in January, struggled to replicate that since off increased mark and probably going to struggle again now.

Run fairly consistently since arriving in Ireland in December, with a C&D success in January. Is now 3lb higher than when ½L third in a 6f claimer last month, ensuring he's on his highest mark yet in this country.

Mare scored the eighth AW success of her career at Lingfield in early April over 7f, can be forgiven Tipperary flop since as she seems to prefer an artificial surface. Blinkers go back on now and is one for the shortlist.

Little to recommend him on recent evidence and shapes as though he needs plenty respite from the handicapper despite getting 5lb back recent Gowran Park run.

Recent record at this venue makes him almost impossible to fancy, he's been toiling over a variety of trips and drop to 6f last time didn't bring any relief.

Filly has yet to place in six starts, including last of 14 over C&D in January on sole AW run, not one to be siding with at the moment on that evidence.

Has run better races that last twice, was behind a few of these rivals over the mile here last time out. Races off the same mark now and potentially fighting for place money.

C&D win came in a maiden in 2009, hasn't won anywhere since 2015 though did very close off a 1lb higher mark over this trip in November and cannot be ruled out on return from a break.

Has been running perfectly respectable races at this track of late, though probably still needs some help from the assessor before shedding maiden tag.

Remains a maiden after 13 starts and was well fended off on reappearance over 5f last month, goes up in trip and gets first-time hood now if gaining a run (First Reserve).

Beaten 11L off a mark of 45 over this C&D last year in only previous AW try, had been out of form late last year and due for stable debut if getting in (Second Reserve).

Verdict

DANDY ROCK might well have got it done last time over the mile at this venue had he kept a true line, instead he found himself colliding with the rail and forfeiting momentum at a crucial stage. Over this shorter trip, a repeat of his prior effort just might be enough to get him home. Our Max won that contest and while he's been raised 4lb, his consistency has improved this year and he should go well again, with Usa also right in the mix. Tom Dooley, Burren View Lady and recent Lingfield winner Fastidious are also placed on the shortlist.
