Plenty of experience behind him but has struggled overall and well beaten on heavy ground last time out at Listowel. Others arrive here in better form.

8/1
Cost €30,000 as a yearling and related to useful types over 7f and an extended 9f. Well beaten and no impression in three career starts and looks like another struggle is on the cards here.

6/1
C&D winner last time out beating 9 rivals on soft ground last month. Can take a hand in this but will have to step up again off a 6lb higher mark.

Looks to be improving with every run finishing fourth of 12 beaten 3½L on soft ground earlier in the month at Down Royal. Will need to step up again but others preferred.

Beaten favourite last time out in a Down Royal 7f handicap on soft ground when fourth of 13. Improving with every start and can take a hand here .

14/1
Largely disappointing in six-race career including two second-rate performances at Killarney and Down Royal. Difficult to see a turnaround of fortunes here.

5/1
Put three below-par performances behind her when improving to finishing third of 13 beaten 3½L behind Magic Sea on soft ground. Conditions in her favour here and can go well.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-9| J: Leigh Roche| T: M Mulvany| OR:  59
20/1
Disappointing in five career starts with first-time hood making no difference last time out at the Curragh when 11th of 29 on soft to heavy ground. Likely to struggle again here.

Age: 2|  Weight: 8-5| J: Wayne Lordan| T: G Elliott| OR:  55
10/1
Well beaten and nothing of any promise in three career starts over a variety of distances. First-time tongue-tie here but others hold stronger profiles.

It's Paddys Dayt20
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-4| J: D E Sheehy(5)| T: G J Power| OR:  52
33/1
Has toiled in three career starts including a 16L defeat last time out and another modest performance looks likely.

Forecasts

Piper Bomb (3/1), Triple Sec (5/1), Scoil Naisiunta (5/1), Blue Petal (6/1), Marmalade N Toast (8/1), Elusive Don (9/1), Dracula Dave (10/1), Ellona (14/1), Stormy Tale (20/1), It's Paddys Day (33/1)

Verdict

Piper Bomb is improving with every run and can give the selection, BLUE PETAL the most to think about. Kevin Predergast's youngster can build on a fine win last time out over C&D. Ellona and Elusive Don can compete with Piper Bomb for the minors.
