Showed some moderate promise last summer without getting off the mark, poor in two runs this season, including when dropped to 5f on penultimate start at Tipperary. Plenty to prove at the moment.
Registered his first success when winning a 19 runner 5f handicap at Navan (good) in early May. Been fairly consistent without winning in four runs since and likely to go well again.
Out of sorts and no signs of improvement on any of his eight seasonal starts. Won a Navan handicap in August 2016 over 5f, from a mark of 75 on good ground.
Beaten 2L in Navan contest he had won twice before 12 days ago, would likely have been primed for that contest again and, while 2lb lower now, may be best watched this follow up. Back below previous winning mark however.
Admirable mare and a winner six times in a 56-race career, she was beaten just 2L over this trip on good ground at Down Royal recently and cannot be ruled out from a 2lb lower mark.
Hasn't been any rival home in previous three starts, drops dramatically in trip now having run over a mile last time.
Nine-race maiden on turf, has been well beaten off in two recent Limerick runs over 6½f, this drop in trip will have to unearth some improvement.
Never threatened to find even place money in six career starts over this trip, looks set for another tough day at the office.
Yet to place in ten career starts, first run for new yard and attempts this 5f trip for the first time with visor also added for first attempt. Wrong at the weights and hard to imagine he plays a leading role.
Unplaced in 16 starts on AW/turf but beaten only 2ÂľL over 5f (soft) at Hamilton last time out and isn't completely ruled out on prior efforts in this country this season.
Not finished in front of many rivals in her races since joining her current yard and isn't hard to leave out of the equation here.
No win over this trip in 13 attempts dating back to August 2014, off the track since October and must be a danger this run will be needed. Market check perhaps.
Filly was never a threat in three starts last year, twice over this trip, and looks an unlikely winner on return to action after 272 days away.
Has run four times and beaten only one rival home in all, gets a first-time tongue tie here but makes no appeal as a betting proposition.

Catwilldo (11/4), Pillar (7/2), A Likely Story (6/1), Calm Bay (8/1), Molans Mare (11/1), Bluesbreaker (11/1), Olaudah (11/1), Suburban Sky (12/1), More Kudos (14/1), Barbel (20/1), Idlers Dream (20/1), Madam Bounska (25/1), La Fee Verte (33/1), Dunleer (33/1), There's The Rain (33/1), Handsome Maverick (40/1), Sadie Babes (40/1), Get Some (66/1)
Very few of these make much appeal on form, so it may prove wisest to looked towards those at the front of the market. Pillar scored over the trip at Navan in May and has held his form since, ensuring he appeals as the solid option. Calm Bay can be given a chance if his recent Down Royal effort didn't draw the sting from him for a while. Molans Mare might have something to say and hit the frame but perhaps this can do the way of CATWILLDO, who at least knows how to win and was not far off at Down Royal last time from a 2lb higher mark.
