Made smooth progress after joining this yard last year, winning two from five starts at up to 1m1½f. Handles testing surface and sights lowered after disappointing reappearance in the Lincolnshire at Naas last month. Competitive here.

Lightly-raced Gowran Park maiden winner (1m1½f, soft to heavy) last summer. Weakened from the front in the Cambridgeshire at the Curragh on final start last term, potentially on useful mark for return to action.

Sparkled with three wins in four starts on Dundalk's AW after joining this trainer, before crying enough in December when last out. Capable on old turf form of mounting a challenge if ready to roll on return.

AW winner in France in 2015, mostly been finding things tough on turf / over jumps since joining this yard last year. Place claims on reappearance third at Navan this month (1m, heavy).

Three wins in 10 starts during 2017 and generally a consistent yardstick, acts on heavy but has been prominent in betting both starts recently and run poorly. Handicapper has offered 4lb relief now.

Best efforts have come on better surface than likely here, though did shape well enough on heavy at Gowran Park in September when suffering some interference before coming home third. Fit from AW and handicapped to go well now.

Impressive winner of a Cork nursery back in October, not as good in starts either side of winter break since, with last month's Naas reappearance (7f, soft to heavy) suggesting the handicapper is in control for the time being.

Winner of a Navan claimer last summer for Ger Lyons over 1m2f on good to firm ground, not progressed and been toiling over hurdles since joining this trainer. Chance if producing anything like best returned to the Flat.

Five-race maiden on the AW, shaped with some degree of promise on return from 431-day absence in Dundalk apprentice contest (1m4f) this month. Comes right back in trip for this and conditions an unknown factor.

Henrythenavigator gelding formerly trained by Clive Cox, tailed off at Leopardstown a week ago on first start for this yard (1m, heavy) and hard to summon confidence on that showing.

Comes here after unsuccessful stint in maiden hurdles early on this year, no win on the Flat since May 2015 and others hold more convincing claims it seems.

Most recent success came here over 6½f (soft) back in October 2016, toiling since, including both starts for this handler last year and hopelessly out of the weights today it seems. Big ask.

Forecasts

Lucky Mistake (5/1), Bobby Jean (5/1), Cash In Mind (11/2), Onlyhuman (6/1), Keep Believing (13/2), Dandys Gold (7/1), Drombeg Dream (8/1), Jackmel (10/1), Buffalo Blues (12/1), Koybig (14/1), Cairdiuil (33/1), Masterofdiscovery (33/1), Double Fast (50/1)

Verdict

ONLYHUMAN wasn't disgraced in the Cambridgeshire when last spotted out, having attempted to make the running. From a 6lb lower mark, and with his ability on testing ground not in question, there could be a big seasonal reappearance in him. Lucky Mistake should be competitive with his sights lowered a touch in this field while Dandys Gold could go well if handling the prevailing conditions.
