Hit with a rating of 89 after winning her first two starts as a juvenile and struggled to follow up in handicaps as a result. She was well beaten in a Listed race in her final start for Richard Fahey and hasn't really shone in either of her two subsequent starts for her new yard. Tough test ahead from topweight.
Won a nursery on the AW when last seen out - delivering on the promise shown in his three previous outings. Has a bit more to do under a 3lb higher mark but can still be a player if he is ready to go on his seasonal return. Yard has been relatively quiet but did send out a winner earlier this month. One to monitor closely in the betting.
Shown enough in four maidens to suggest she can pay her way before too long. Her latest effort reads pretty well in the context of this race and she makes the shortlist as one with the scope to make an impact now she goes handicapping.
Improved efforts in both starts for her new yard but the drop in trip is a worry for this nicely-bred filly. Best watched.
Returned with a vengeance to win on the AW last month and was far from disgraced when switched to tuft under 6lb extra at Navan shortly afterwards. This is a good bit tougher and he looks to have his work cut out for him in this stronger company.
Honours even from two encounters with Slumming Angel; but the latest effort suggests her old rival has the upper hand. That said, she is well drawn and is capable of making the running, so worth bearing in mind for a place at least on a track that favours those that like to race on the pace. Shortlisted.
Has won over 7f but needs to better her only previous attempt over the minimum trip. Also debatable as to whether there will be sufficient juice in the ground for her.
Showed promise in his first couple of starts as a juvenile but was found wanting as the season progressed. Now tried in blinkers, he will be sharper for his reappearance at Navan last month but makes limited appeal on balance.
Made the most of a handy draw to win over 6f at this course earlier this month but has a bit to find with Brave Display from a previous encounter on the AW at Dundalk. Blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces but more perplexing is the drop in trip.
Set things up nicely for A Little Bit Me over 6f last time out, so possible dropping back a furlong will suit. Well drawn for a front-runner and may be worth a speculative punt to reverse the form at a fair price.
Went for £40,000 as a two-year-old but failed to justify the price tag in three starts last summer. Gelded since, he may have more to offer now he steps into handicaps from a lowly rating but others make a tad more appeal this time around.
Closely matched with a couple of contenders earlier on the card (a bold effort from Pillar in the 17.50 will be a boost for the form) but her tendency to drop herself out negates her handy position in the stalls; and she may need a little luck on her side if the stands rail becomes congested.
Won a soft-ground maiden in France last year but her form took a quick nosedive afterwards. Would be harsh to write her off after she posted a better effort when switched to turf last time out. Holds place claims if she can use that as a platform.

Brave Display (7/2), A Little Bit Me (9/2), Slumming Angel (7/1), Patuano (10/1), Ice Cold In Alex (10/1), January Morn (10/1), Twist Of Magic (10/1), Eacharn (11/1), Fast Kar (12/1), Texas Dancer (14/1), Shawami (14/1), Kocollada (16/1), Lisadell Abi (25/1), Little Oasis (40/1), Laodicea (50/1), Passionatta (50/1), Ahundrednotout (100/1)
It may be worth chancing a small investment on EACHARN making the most of his handy draw. The gelding is still a maiden but has dropped to a very attractive mark and, with the ground not expected to be much of an issue, he has a lot going for him despite this being a competitively frame handicap. A Little Bit Me is an obvious threat after she posted a solid effort over 6f last time and will be just getting going when others have cried enough. Fast Kar and Slumming Angel are others that are capable of making the frame in this company, while Passionatta could represent even better value if she gets a run.
