Well beaten in all three starts so far this year. Handicap mark is falling as a result but more needed in this contest.
Winner of her penultimate outing over 2m5f at Tramore (good) in first time cheekpieces last month. Disappointed subsequently and stamina to prove over this distance.
Well beaten when making his debut for this yard over an extended 3m at Roscommon (good-to-yielding) earlier this month. Likely to improve for that effort.
In good form since joining this yard winning his first two starts including off a 14lb lower mark at Kilbeggan (good) in April. Ran well in three starts over shorter since and likely to appreciate this return to 3m.
Put a couple of non-completions behind him when finishing fourth over 3m at Bellewstown (good) last time out. Races off a 1lb higher mark and chances in this.
Sole win came in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle on yielding ground in March 2015. Not beaten far when eighth over 2m5f on good ground here last time out and market support would be interesting here.
Comfortable winner over an extended 3m at Roscommon (good-to-yielding) earlier this month. Races off a career high mark for a yard with a 16% strike-rate of late (9/55).
Handicap chase winner off a 17lb higher mark at Ballinrobe (good) over 2m7f in May 2015. Lightly raced since and pulled up on debut for this yard over fences last time out. Interesting in a first time tongue tie off his much lower hurdles mark here.
Maiden after 12 starts and well beaten fifth in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown (good) in a first time visor (retained) last time out. More needed here.
Maiden hurdle winner on good ground here over 2m3f on her penultimate outing. Beaten 19L in a handicap contest over 2m5f back here last time out and steps up in trip today.
Leading when falling two out over fences here over an extended 2m3f in May but pulled up at Wexford subsequently and returns to hurdles today.
Winner over 3m at Bellewstown (good) off a 5lb lower mark last time out. Represents a stable with a 29% strike-rate of late (2/7) and wears cheekpieces for the first time today.
Beaten 21L into third over 2m4f at Clonmel (soft) in December. Well beaten at Fairyhouse the following month and likely to encounter better ground on his handicap debut here.
Winner on good ground over C&D off an 8lb lower mark in May. Ran well when runner-up at Ballinrobe nine days later but disappointed the last twice.
Making his debut for this yard when finishing third of 20 at Down Royal (good) over 2m4f last month. Races off the same mark here and interesting if repeating that effort.

SMALL WORLD ran well on his debut for this stable last month and can go two better than when finishing third on that occasion. The selection represents a yard who have a 17% strike-rate recently (2/12) and he can see off Presenting Julio who has won three times in seven starts since rejoining this stable earlier this year. The Rite Article is another from a yard who have been in the winners in recent times and he can claim third today.
