Has a record of 3-33 on the Flat and current mark poses some serious questions. Tailed-off when favourite for a Ballinrobe hurdle last month.
Ran as well as could be expected following a layoff and from 4lb out of the handicap. Appeared to be getting the hang of things over hurdles last summer and he would be worth checking for a market move.
Won well at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start but was found wanting under a 6lb higher mark when upped to this trip last time out. Stiff test from the same mark but one to monitor closely. Yard highly respected.
Registered back to back victories at Dundalk before the handicapper caught up with her. Switches to turf having only raced on it for debut. Despite her mark, there are few of these who have proven their wellbeing lately.
Has looked out of sorts of late and was reluctant to race at Tipperary two months ago. Hard to fancy with that effort lingering in the memory.
On a lengthy losing run and latest effort was disappointing. Unproven at the trip and not as good with give in the ground.
Has 2L to find with Pirolo and gets a 6lb pull on running at Fairyhouse two weeks ago. Should be better suited by this longer trip and he goes on the shortlist.
16-race maiden under both codes who was supported for the race Pirolo won at Fairyhouse (Trump Card fourth). Came from a long way back to finish sixth and the extra 3f will assist.
Off the track for almost a year since pulling up at Roscommon. Likely to need this and has not shown enough to suggest she is up to this.
15-race maiden who almost produced a shock in a Curragh handicap last autumn. Needs to bounce back from three performances this term that are well below that level.
All three wins have been gained over 1m2f at Dundalk. Last three runs have been below expectations and others are preferred.
Steps up considerably in trip having been well beaten in all starts to date. Tackles a new trip with pedigree raising doubts from the dam's side.
Handed a low mark for handicap debut having failed to grab the attention in all starts to date. Up in trip and sire gets few that stay this far.
Galileo filly, half-sister to the useful Awesome Star and Street Secret and dam was placed in Listed company. Stamina in the pedigree so interesting off this mark on handicap debut and tackling a more suitable trip.

Weightfordave (5/2), Pirolo (5/1), Trump Card (13/2), Black Label (10/1), Repare Mon (10/1), Typhoon Rising (10/1), Awesome Gal (12/1), Universal Focus (14/1), Manomine (16/1), Ard Na Carraig (20/1), Kalann (20/1), Bomber Jackson (25/1), Dysios (25/1), Port Moody (33/1), Glen's Dd (33/1)
A number of these will improve for moving up in trip and/or for making their handicap debuts. Awesome Gal catches the eye at the foot of the handicap given a pedigree that suggests she will be better for this longer trip. Pirolo, Trump Card and WEIGHTFORDAVE clashed at Fairyhouse recently. Jim Bolger's charge came out on top that day but his two rivals are weighted to turn the tables here and the longer trip will suit both. Preference is for WEIGHTFORDAVE with the booking of Shane Foley catching the eye.
