Second of 16 beaten 2L last time out at Gowran Park earlier this month. Yard in good form and ground form gives him a head start.

Lost his way since leaving the care of Ger Lyons and three seasonal starts do not muster any encouragement including last time out when beaten favourite.

Easy winner of Gowran Park handicap over 1m on yielding to soft ground in June 2016 off mark of 62 but has toiled since. Will need first-time cheekpieces to improve her performance here.

Fine win last time out when beating 15 rivals in a Gowran Park handicap on soft to heavy ground earlier this month. Could be an improving sort and one for the shortlist.

Has been on the go since April and has had a laboured season well beaten on all starts. Will need a chunk of improvement to land a blow.

Shed her maiden tag at Tipperary (7½f, soft) making all the running and scoring with plenty in hand, finishing fourth of 15 beaten 7½L at Listowel on handicap debut. Game sort who is sure to improve on that run.

Not much to shout about in three starts since returning to the track in June. Difficult to see a turnaround in fortunes and others preferred.

Inconsistent gelding who ran a solid race at Killarney last month but has largely toiled during the summer and others hold stronger profiles.

Won a Gowran Park handicap in June on heavy ground but has struggled during the summer and may frustrate here still 4lb higher than that last win.

Noe a five-race maiden who has second-rate performances behind her and hard to fancy finishing 10L behind Sleepy Head last time out.

Ran well on debut back in May at Gowran Park but put in two below-par performances in June and has not been seen since. Others preferred on return but is worth a market check.

Well beaten and not a lot to shout about in three career starts over 1m sent off at 50/1 each time. Another modest run looks to be on the menu.

Ran better than his price suggested last time out when finishing second of 11 beaten 5½L here last month on soft ground. Looks to be getting the hang of thinks and could hit the frame.

Lightly raced filly who may have had her problems. Well beaten and no impression on two seasonal starts and looks to have another struggle on her hands despite the fitting of first-time cheekpieces.

Well beaten and virtually tailed off on all four starts to date. Less exposed than some at least but near impossible to fancy.

Verdict

Cracking Name likes to get on with things from the front and could set a stern test in this ground. Harvey Specter, One Liner and the selection, SLEEPY HEAD keeping tabs on the early leader. The four-year-old looks a genuine improver and can add to his Gowran Park win here. Admiralty, second of 16 beaten 2L last time out in bottomless ground and Harvey Specter can hit the frame.
