Just one win from 11 starts but back to form at Galway last time. Up 5lb for that but has scored from a 3lb lower mark before so may be able to build on that effort last time here.
Still a maiden after six starts but has shown ability before in softer conditions. Needs improvement but first-time tongue-tie could work the oracle.
Won a maiden at Wolverhampton but has changed yards twice since without getting on the scoresheet. Some of her best efforts have come on softer ground so can't be ruled out returned to conditions she'll enjoy.
Won twice at Dundalk earlier in the year but hasn't looked as effective on turf. Well beaten fifth of 13 at Killarney when last seen and needs improvement or relief from the handicapper.
Well beaten on all four starts to date. Drops back in trip and looks up against here but top rider booked at least.
Improved for his handicap debut at Fairyhouse last time and possible he will do better with a faster start. 2lb rise for that effort very much manageable and holds leading claims in this contest.
Good third in an apprentice handicap last time out but needs to improve upon that form. Shapes like she may want a step back up in trip and looks opposable here.
Ran well when finishing fifth of 15 over 7f at Gowran Park on his penultimate outing. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion return here having been replaced with blinkers when well beaten last time.
Finished nearer last than first on the majority of her starts to date and often very slow from the gate. Last of 11 at Gowran when last seen and drops back down in trip here.
Well beaten on both turf starts and looks more effective on the AW. May not enjoy the softer conditions here and others make more appeal.
Beaten 9L in a first time tongue tie when making his handicap debut over 1m at Gowran Park in April, before finishing seventh of 22, 11½L behind Veneer Of Charm at Navan in May. Probably has a race in him but this looks competitive.

Twist Of Magic (13/8), Invincible Queen (6/1), Imbucato (8/1), Lady Rosebud (8/1), Camiyra (10/1), Ojinjintka (10/1), Cul An Ti (10/1), Texas Katie (14/1), Landline (14/1), Cashless (14/1), Dignified Air (16/1), Annie Apple (20/1), Ostaiocht (20/1), Newlands Voice (20/1), Favorite Story (25/1), Tildas Icon (25/1), Prudencia (28/1), Volta Do Mar (33/1)
IMBUCATO ran well last time out and a 2lb rise could underestimate him. Twist Of Magic ran well at Galway last time out but Texas Katie may be the main danger back on soft ground.
