Got off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Tramore in June, change of headgear for Flat debut here but still looks an unlikely winner.
Winner of a bumper on debut at Downpatrick earlier in the month. Speed in the pedigree and comes from a top yard. Can't be ruled out.
Not disgraced when fourth to Powersbomb in a maiden at Roscommon latest, and previous to that second in a heavy ground maiden hurdle. Clearly has some ability and chances in a weak event.
Shown very little in two starts and needs this for a handicap mark, which is where his best chance may lie.
Hurdles winner at Kilbeggan last year, running respectably in a couple of Flat maidens recently but others look to have stronger profiles.
Tailed off on most recent starts and first time cheekpieces on today need to have a major effect.
Two starts in bumpers to date, ran well at Cork last time and should have some speed on breeding, so not ruled out here.
Hadn't been seen out for a couple of years before running with some merit in a couple of maiden hurdles this summer, although not so good when made favourite on latest start. Needs to bounce back now.
Veteran that's not won a race since 2012, and is surely using this as a warm-up for a summer campaign back over hurdles/fences.
Good winner of a Downpatrick bumper in June and ran just as well in a Mares Flat race latest. Chances on those runs and a top jockey booked.
Tailed off most starts over hurdles lately and appears of little account at present.
Not shown anywhere near enough in two starts so far to think she's up to taking a hand in this.
Well beaten in low-grade handicaps recently and this step back into maiden company is unlikely to produce a different result.
Not disgraced in a 10f maiden at Navan in May but couldn't build on that at Cork last time out. Chances if repeating the Navan run but bit to prove now.
Good first effort when fourth to Iron Mountain at the Curragh (unfancied, yard also had odds-on favourite in the race) and wouldn't need to improve much on that to take a hand here. Yard twice a winner of this in recent times.
Did better on her second outing than her first, staying on late to finish within hailing distance of winner Zanjabeel at Bellewstown. Needs this for a handicap mark though, which is where best chance may lie.
First run for yard (previously with Luca Cumani) and based on her two efforts in maidens at Yarmouth and Haydock, looks a player here, with this longer trip likely to suit.
Forecasts
Rickrack (9/4), Exchange Rate (7/2), Decision Time (6/1), Turnabout (6/1), Poker Party (10/1), Motcomb Street (11/1), Great Trango (12/1), Molten Gold (20/1), Ilikehim (25/1), Nice To Sea (25/1), L'Attesa (25/1), California Soul (33/1), Freedom Chimes (50/1), Niamh's Wish (50/1), Steel Park (66/1), Kelter's Dawn (100/1), Rosmarine (100/1)
This doesn't look like it will take much winning, and only a handful make any appeal. Dermot Weld has won this twice in the last three years with Time To Inspire and Whitey O'Gwaun, and TURNABOUT holds a solid chance of making it three. There's every chance he will take a step forward from a decent debut effort and that could be good enough. Rickrack needs plenty of respect on her first run for Jessica Harrington and along with Exchange Rate and Great Trango can fight out the places.
