Made little progress in three starts so far but is unexposed on turf. Improved latest effort at Navan was also his debut on grass (stayed on well late on), so very possible he has more to offer and worth considering for a place at least.
Coped well with soft ground at Kilbeggan last time but has already created the impression he will do better over further. Debut run over 10f backs up that theory and improvement now required. (Cost 50,000 gns, so still worth a check in the betting.)
Made little impression on handicap debut last time and makes limited appeal from the same mark. Likely one or two will take his measure on the evidence available.
Improved since being asked to tackle a longer trip and certainly capable of winning at this level if able to use his last two outings as a platform. Yard respected and possible this fellow can make amends for coming up short as favourite last time.
Good effort from this mark at Listowel latest brings her right into the argument. That was the filly's first try on heavy and very feasible she has more to offer. Shortlisted.
Won at Kilbeggan in August but not in the same frame of mind in either outing since. Still 2lb higher and possible she needs a firmer surface, so the case against looks strong.
Finished last on handicap debut last at Tipperary in June and very hard to fancy from the same mark on this different ground. Comes here with a bit too much to prove from a betting angle.
Improvement last time but already has a bit to find with Ojinjintka and may have to settle for another bit-part role despite the handicapper cutter her some slack.
Still a maiden after 14 starts and best effort to date came on very different ground than the predicted going. Opposable despite the good form of her yard and signs of a revival of late.
0-9 and turf and one start on the AW at Dundalk. Best effort when second at Goodwood for previous yard last year looks a distance memory and very hard to make a case of her on recent evidence.
Has a bit to find with Admiralty from theit encounter at Tipperary last time but should be suited by any cut in the ground. Possibly right to suspect the handicapper has he measure just now though.
Four starts into her career and possible she'll improve for the switch to handicapping. Needs to do so, however, and not difficult to look elsewhere when assessing what she's achieved up to press.
Has won on heavy in the past but form has taken a big nosedive since then. Easier to say she's lost her way than say she's well handicapped, and only a significant market move could tempt a play.
Nearer last than first in all her six starts up to now. Didn't last long with Brian Meehan in Britain and her Irish form has been of a similarly low standard so far.
Improved effort on handicap debut at Down Royal last month but her only previous try over a mile was a poor effort on racecourse debut. Possible handicapping will bring more reward but comes with plenty of risks attached.

ADMIRALTY has done enough of late to suggest she has a handicap of this stature within her compass and she is given a chance to redeem herself for coming up short of the good as favourite last time out. Butoolat coped well on similar ground to the predicted going and is rated as a big danger, while Cracking Name has a bit to find with the selection but could feasibly capitalise if she has another off day. Third reserve: Bright Lass could also be interesting if granted a run.
