Successful four times already this season most recently over an extended 1m at Galway (soft) last month. Ran well over 7f last time out and interesting stepping up in trip.
Six race maiden including in five outings in maiden company on the Flat. Overall form is poor but worth a check in the market on her handicap debut.
Well beaten in two starts since finishing runner-up over an extended 1m at Galway (soft) in August. Has struggled when tackling this trip in the past.
Five time winner but has been slowly away in recent starts and best form this year has come on quicker ground than he's forecast to encounter today.
Ran well when finishing third over 1m1f at Listowel (heavy) on her penultimate start and probably found the 1m4f trip against her last time out. Drop in trip should suit with cheekpieces applied for the first time.
11 race maiden and well beaten over hurdles prior to finishing down the field in a Galway maiden over 1m4f in August. Wears a tongue tie for the first time today.
Career best effort when finishing runner-up over 1m1f at Listowel (heavy) on his penultimate outing but well held eighth over 1m4f subsequently. This trip looks more suitable.
Winning for the second time when successful over 1m1f at Tipperary (soft-to-heavy) last month. Raised 5lb for that victory but an interesting runner in this contest. Also engaged 17:05 Cork on Saturday.
Signs of ability in maiden company but well held over 1m4f at Dundalk earlier this month. Worth a check in the marked on handicap debut.
Ran well to finish third over 1m4f at Leopardstown (good-to-firm) on her penultimate outing and a fair effort over this trip on yielding at Navan subsequently. Interesting with a tongue tie and cheekpieces tried today.
Won just once in 45 career starts but has run some solid races so far this year including when runner-up over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park (soft) in August. However he is likely to find at least one too good today.
Better effort than in maiden company when beaten less than 4L over 1m at Dundalk on handicap debut earlier this month. Steps up in trip but others have more obvious chances.
Broke his maiden when winning over 1m at Gowran Park (soft-to-heavy) in a three-year-old handicap in October last year. Entitled to improve for seasonal debut at the same course last month but more needed if he's to take this.

COSMIC SYMBOL has been in good form in the main since joining this yard a year ago and he can record a fifth victory in that time period on his first attempt over this trip. The selection stayed on well over 7f last time out and can see off Mearu who has put in a couple of decent efforts this year and shaped better than the bare result suggests at Navan last time out. No Way Jack is taken to register another placing by claiming third on this occasion.
