Unexposed four-year-old, made a pleasing start over C&D last October before following up with a win on the AW at Dundalk shortly afterwards. The form has been franked by the runner up since - won a handicap from a mark of 70. Leading contender at this level if he has thrived since last seen in action.
Cost just €2,000 at the November sales in 2016, but has already paid her way at a modest level. Made all to win at Tipperary last time out but faces a stiffer test from an 11lb higher mark this time around. Wouldn't want the ground too soft.
Won at Dundalk back in February but has been struggling to reproduce the effort back on turf. Dropping back to a handy mark but still looks weighted to the hilt.
Solitary career win was registered in a maiden at this course last August but recent evidence has been below that standard. Should at least be sharpened up after three starts this term but looks vulnerable to an improver.
Showed promise on his seasonal debut but two subsequent starts have been modest. Now has a bit to prove.
Won a 5f maiden at The Curragh but has yet to expand on her profile. Has a bit to find with Piazzini from the last time they met, so looks to face a tough test.
Won from a higher rating in the past but seemed to lose his way for his previous trainer. Best watched on his debut for a new yard.
Much better off at the weights with Piazzini from their previous encounter and has a very feasible chance of reversing the form on these terms. Interesting if supported in the betting.
Only modest improvement last time out, but possible this drop in trip may suit. 7lb claimer in the saddle and has the option to switch to follow the pace from a middle draw. Place claims if stepping back in distance works the oracle.
Staring to look exposed and the blinkers need to have a more positive effect this time around. Others preferred.
Infrequent winner but is back on a handy mark and should at least handle the ground. Recent form does suggest others already have his measure though.
Dropped a few hints that he has a race within him but lacks scope for improvement and has a bit to find on his belated first attempt over the minimum distance.
Consistent at a modest level but now has a bit to prove with a few of these after failing to reel in the leading group last time out. A step back to 6f may beckon after this.
Unexposed at the trip but easy to surmise that he will find 5f a little to sharp. The stiff nature of the course may help but others make more appeal.
Made no impression on his first start for his new yard last time out. Drops back a furlong but still has something to find.
C&D winner that acts with some give underfoot. Recent efforts not so great, so makes limited appeal for a win only punt.
Won a very weak race last time out and has more on his plate in this company from just out of the weights.
Won on soft ground during her time in France but has never set the world alight since arriving on these shores and is another that faces a very stern test as part of the long handicap.
Won from a much higher mark in the past but has been in the doldrums for a while now and has a lot to find on these terms. Place claims when the best of her past form is taken into account but easy to passover when recent form comes under scrutiny.
Tried over a variety of trips but is still a maiden and has something to prove with Fast Kar from last time out. Tough test ahead.

It may be worth taking a chance on the fitness of MAGIC BEAR, who could hardly have been found a weaker introduction to the new campaign and he may have a touch too much for this modest lot if he has improved since he was last seen out. Piazzini has a few of these in behind last time out, so is forwarded as one of the most reliable alternatives, while Sweetest Taboo and Haqeeba can scrap it out as best of the rest.
