Maiden winner over 1m2f at Navan in October and while he was disappointing at the Curragh last time out, he's entitled to come on for that run. No surprise to see him do better here.

In the form of her life of late, winning three of her last four starts and scored with enough in hand at the Galway Festival last week to suggest she may be capable of going in again under a 6lb penatly. Leading claims for in form yard.

Won twice at the start of the year but handicap took no chances and she's struggled from her revised mark since. Up against it once again.

Beat a smart prospect at Gowran earlier in the year and positioned poorly last time out when a beaten favourite at Tipperary. Worth giving another chance too, particularly with this jockey booked.

Didn't need to improve to win a Naas maiden two starts back and struggled at the Curragh last time. Questions to answer after that effort and may struggle from a handicapping perspective.

Came on for his reappearance with a smart run at Naas last time out and should carry on progressing as he goes up in trip. Runner-up has franked the form since and still unexposed but yard have been a little out of form in recent weeks.

Not won since 2015 and clearly had his issues. Signs of a return to form last week at the Galway Festival but clearly a risky betting proposition and no guarantee to back that up.

14/1
Back to form with a win last time out but has struggled from this sort of mark in the past and may need some relief from the handicapper before he becomes of interest again. Can often miss the break.

Won twice last year but badly out of form this campaign. Working her way down to a more feasible mark now but others preferred with more progressive rivals in the line up.

Won off a higher mark than this last year and well suited to cut in the ground. Inconsistent sort and couldn't follow up a recent win at Ballinrobe with an effort at that same course last time out when third of six but can't be dismissed if she's in the mood.

Forecasts

Onlyhuman (11/4), Remarkable Lady (5/1), Pincheck (6/1), Elm Grove (7/1), Nebulla (7/1), Tipstaff (7/1), Vastonea (8/1), Zabalan (10/1), Full Court Press (14/1), Palmones (16/1), End Play (33/1)

Verdict

ONLYHUMAN wasn't seen to best effect last time out but with Colin Keane booked, he's probably worth giving another chance to. Remarkable Lady was a smart winner at the Galway Festival last week and may have more to give while Pincheck is still unexposed and has won two of his last three starts.
