4/1
Generally consistent efforts this spring/summer but keeps getting nudged up in the weights despite not winning, and handicapped looked to have him where he wants him at Limerick last time. On plus side, likes the track and likely to go well without winning again.

6/1
Not seen out since March, and was proving a bit expensive to follow, but had given the impression of a bit more to come so if the short break has done him good, may yet do better. Won't mind any rain and not discounted.

6/4
In the form of his life at present, followed up his Tramore win with another solid effort at Wexford and then reverting back to the Flat, turned over the odds-on Air Supremacy at Bellewstown. May not want too much rain but that aside, holds another solid chance here.

16/1
Veteran that's now just 1lb higher than his last winning mark, and although he may well have needed both runs this spring after a break, he hasn't shown enough to think he's ready to win again just yet.

12/1
You have to go back to 2014 to find her last winning run and her recent comeback effort on the Flat (after almost nine months off) didn't suggest she's up to taking a hand in this. Rain would be no use to her either.

4/1
Has some bits and pieces of form to his name that give him chances here, ran as well as he could against an improving one at Wexford last time and if the rain stays away, should be capable of making his presence felt.

33/1
Form has taken a major turn for the worse recently and has finished well beaten on all recent starts. Needs to refind his best form of last year and even then, that needs major improvement.

25/1
Very infrequent winner (just 4 wins from 83 starts) and has finished well beaten on all of his recent starts, so there's clearly more likely winners in the field.

Forecasts

Zanjabeel (6/4), Mezajy (4/1), Jaime Sommers (4/1), Logical Song (6/1), Coherent (6/1), Do Na Paisti (12/1), Black Benny (16/1), House Limit (25/1), Sackfullofdreams (33/1)

Verdict

Tricky to solve, and could me made trickier still if the rain comes in any great quantity. Assuming it doesn't get too deep, it might be worth chancing COHERENT who has little weight to carry and is clearly going the right way since going handicapping. He doesn't need to improve much to take a hand here. Mezajy bumped into a tartar at Wexford last time and should go well, along with top weight Jaime Sommers and the improving Zanjabeel.
