Recent C&D winner who has been held off his new mark in both starts which have come over shorter before finishing eighth of 12 last month over C&D once again. Could find it tough off top weight.
C&D winner off a 5lb higher mark in November but has been generally disappointing since. Looks up against it here.
Two wins here from 13 starts during his career including a C&D victory in December 2016. May struggle on return to the track still 3lb higher than his last winning mark.
Distance winner but not seen since finishing fourth of 16 beaten 6¾L in a Fairyhouse handicap in October. Without a win in three starts here and possibly best watched on return.
Finished runner up in two starts in December on this track but has produced two disappointing displays since the turn of the year. Looks opposable.
Last C&D win came in February when beating 13 rivals ½L off a 8lb lower mark. Appears to need some relief from the handicapper.
Without a win in eight starts here though showed a hint of promise over C&D in October when fourth of 13 beaten 3¾L behind Commander Won. Worth a market check.
C&D winner last month beating The Plan Man ½L keeping on well in the final furlong. Raised 5lb for the win and not one to leave out of calculations.
C&D winner but that was back in March 2011 and now races 23lb lower than his last winning mark. Second of 11 beaten just over 1L on return to the track over an extended 1m2f in March. Repeat of that run needed here.
Ninth of 14 well beaten 14L here last month on stable debut following his move from the Michael O'Callaghan yard where the gelding was without a win in 7 starts. Looks vulnerable in this company.
Has produced a number of laboured runs on his last three starts here at the end of the year. Looks up against it here.
C&D winner who was plying his trade as a 102-rated chaser before finishing third of 12 beaten 1L on return to this track last month. Not easy to discount.
Modest 96-rated chaser during the winter months and is a C&D winner from five starts here with the win coming in November 2015. Market should be informative.
Without a win in seven starts here and not seen since finishing ninth of 14 here in October 2015. Best watched on return.
Forecasts
Easy Boy (3/1), Universal Focus (11/2), Solar Heat (13/2), King Of Aran (7/1), Our Rachael (8/1), Pass The Ball (14/1), Heavy Artillery (14/1), Specific Gravity (16/1), Black Label (16/1), Shamar (16/1), Ben Rumson (18/1), Konig Hall (25/1), Invincible Don (40/1), Sinntani (50/1)
Winner over C&D last month UNIVERSAL FOCUS made a most promising return to the track when beating The Plan Man ½L keeping on well in the final furlong beating 11 rivals and another bold show looks likely here. C&D winners Specific Gravity, Ben Rumson and Black Label can fight for minor honours here.

- Ben Rumson
