All five of her wins have come around here, two over this trip and back on a feasible looking mark.

Not beaten far here last month but only has one win to his name since 2014 so clearly not the most consistent type.

Runner-up here last month but still yet to score on turf. This probably a slightly weaker race than what he contested last time at least and first-time tongue-tie could make some difference.

Only managed to beat a total of three horses home in her last five starts and could need this run on return after a break.

Good third at Limerick on her comeback run in April but well beaten in follow up bid last time. Probably has one in her off this kind of mark so not ruled out.

Well beaten on each of his last six starts and would probably need to see heavy ground to get back to his best.

Still a maiden after 11 starts but did go close in soft ground at Bath when trained by Richard Hannon. Appears to be regressing since though and beaten out of sight on three starts for this yard.

5/1
Won off a mark of 55 last year and looking well-handicapped now, particularly after a promising effort here last time out. Course winner earlier in his career and no surprise to see him run well.

20/1
Winner of a claiming race over 6f at Redcar (good-to-soft) for previous yard last October. Beaten 2L in a first time visor (retained since) when seventh of 21 over 6f at Navan (good) on her penultimate start and likely to struggle again.

Beaten out of sight on his only three starts over 2016. Has an absence to overcome and this course winner is starting to look a little long in the tooth now.

Went close over 1m4f here last season but that was the only time he has shown ability to date. Well beaten here last time and likely to need a step up in trip.

Winner at Bellewstown back in 2014 but shown very little in an interrupted career since and needs to prove his well-being.

Just one win from 15 starts but that did come in similar conditions to what she'll get here. Been running well in defeat since and not without a place chance here. Reserve 2

Verdict

ROCKVIEW EMPEROR shaped like a return to form is imminent and he looks well-handicapped on some of his form from last season. Miss Ballygally has been running consistently well in defeat and Arlecchino's Rock went close here last time and could go one better.
