No match for the winner here last month over 1m2f but from the same mark over a longer trip, no shock to find recent runner-up in the mix again.
Returned to the Flat with rock-solid effort over 1m3f at Limerick in April when only giving best to winner in the dying strides. 3lb higher now, should mount a strong bid.
Remains a maiden after 15 starts, was well held over a shorter trip on return to action at Gowran Park off this rating and hard to fancy despite increased stamina test on offer now.
Is capable of running a nice race when she wants to, but has also proven herself a little inconsistent and has only managed to place once so far in her career. Not one to rely on.
Five-race maiden was struggling off 62 when last spotted at Navan over 1m close to 400 days ago, seems best watched on return unless market vibes are upbeat.
Limerick (1m3f, good) winner on the Flat in April and ran well in same sphere at Clonmel (good to firm) over much longer trip subsequently. Disappointed last time at Cork (1m2f, good) and remains 5lb higher than previous winning mark.
Unplaced in 15 starts thus far, was toiling over jumps late last year and previous Flat form gives him a good deal to find having weakened out of it over 2m at Clonmel on reappearance last month.
Two of three runs on turf since joining this yard having been very good at up to 1m2f, winning a Clonmel claimer in early May before decent effort on good ground at this track on the first of the month (behind Love History). Upped in distance, may have more to say.
Only win so far came on the Flat at Ballinrobe last July. Held in all recent hurdles starts including when 13L sixth over an extended 2m at Ballinrobe (good) last time out and so has something to prove on first Flat turf start since August.
Finished behind Love History and Indian Tomahawk here over 1m2f this month. Gets some assistance at the weights with re-opposing rivals if able to build on the run but remains a maiden after nine starts.
Posted couple of improved efforts recently for the addition of blinkers, notably over this trip at Leopardstown two starts ago when beaten less than 2L. Has gone up 2lb since but every chance of another solid effort for leading yard.
A nine-race maiden on the Flat for former handler, there has been little encouragement in jumps form this year since moving to current trainer and so looks best watched now reverting back to this discipline.
Best effort to date (in 14) came over this trip on at AW at Dundalk in February. Fair effort last time out over fences at Clonmel, but will require a career-best to scoop this.
Beaten close to 10L on last month's Flat return at Cork (1m2f, good to firm), remains without a win ten starts in either code, but could build on that Mallow effort and perhaps find a place.
Just a couple of signs this time around that she may be capable off this sort of mark and her fifth of 17 on penultimate start at Gowran Park was a fair effort. Well beaten in an apprentice contest here since however and so overall looks best watched.
Is now dropping towards a basement mark on the Flat but previous form in this sphere gives him plenty to work on regardless. Patchy form in four hurdles run this year after a near three-year absence.
One win from 21 on the Flat came over this trip on the AW at Dundalk in December 2015. Precious little in the way of positives to report of late and is 7lb wrong at the weights for this.
Won a couple of times for Luca Cumani in 2013. Missed the whole of 2016 through injury but has acquitted himself well enough in three runs this year to suggest some ability is retained (First Reserve).

LOST HISTORY is giving away weight all round but he might prove up to it. There was enough in his effort here recently behind Mistiness (who has since dotted up at Hamilton) to merit the suggestion he was unlucky to run into one and he might gain some compensation. He's closely matched with Indian Tomahawk on form and they both look set to go well, while the maiden Traidisiun wasn't far behind them last time and ought to build on that run. Grey Waters and Blue Skimmer, an excellent second at Limerick last time out, are other to consider.
