Ultra-consistent this season with three wins, two place efforts from five starts. Second of 23 last time out at Navan and one expected to go well in this. Efficient jockey who has 16 winners this season.

Below-par runs on his last two flat starts at Fairyhouse and Tipperary doesn't hold much hope of improvement here. Adept youngster in the plate.
Well beaten on four maiden starts, so nothing of any promise to stimulate making a case for the gelding. Accomplished pilot in the plate who has 19 winners to his name this season.

Running consistently in the spring and was not beaten far on return in a Cork handicap over 1m4f handicap. Competent pilot in the saddle but others make more appeal.
Sure to have her supporters from powerful yard and now fitted with first-time cheekpieces following defeats at Roscommon and Gowran Park. Efficient rider in the saddle here with 11 winners this season.
Well beaten on handicap debut at Naas in June, before a promising third of eight beaten 5L in a Tramore maiden over 1m4f. Able pilot on board who has six winners this season.
Well beaten and no impression on her four most recent starts. Looks a tall order here despite first-time cheekpieces and skillful rider in the plate.
