7/2
Won a Tipperary contest on his second handicap start winning by a short-head. Possibly a sounder surface is more to the geldings liking.

Beaten favourite on his final start of the season in a 5f Dundalk handicap following a win over 6f in a Fairyhouse maiden. Will possibly need the run on return in first time hood.

6/1
Course winner who was beaten favourite last time out over a furlong shorter in April when finishing fourth of 16 following a win on seasonal debut in March. Improvement likely in first-time cheekpieces.

10/1
Beaten favourite on seasonal debut in a Navan handicap over 5f on heavy finishing a disappointing sixth of 10 runners. Unlikely to play a part here.

The loading and unruliness at the start appeared to have been addressed on seasonal debut when finishing fifth of 11 beaten 4¼L in a Navan handicap last month. One for the shortlist.

8/1
Fairly game sort who produced a solid and consistent winter campaign on the AW at Dundalk over the winter and went well last month at Navan when third of 10 on return to the turf.

Produced a couple of below-par performances last season including being well beaten in a Fairyhouse maiden in September. Cannot be trusted here.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-0| J: L F Roche| T: P Martin| OR:  63| C
5/1
Course winner who showed plenty of promise in two seasonal starts at Navan last month and can be expected to build on his second of 23 beaten ¾L two weeks ago.

Finished last season involved in a bunch finish at Naas when eventually finishing fifth of 15 just 1½L adrift of Vinnie's Wish at Naas. Disappointed and eased when beaten on first run of season at Leopardstown last month.

10/1
Won a Dundalk handicap on the AW last month before struggling off a new mark at the same track earlier this month. Inconsistent and others preferred.

Age: 7|  Weight: 8-4| J: Chris Hayes| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR:  53| D
16/1
Won a Listowel contest over this distance in September but produced two below-par runs in October. Back on a winning mark here and worth a market check.

Forecasts

Comhghairdeas (7/2), Aspen Belle (5/1), Luzum (6/1), Bluesbreaker (8/1), Truffles (8/1), Dandyman Port (10/1), A Likely Story (10/1), Castrogiovanni (11/1), Solomons Seal (12/1), Count Of Carabass (16/1), Bronze Age (16/1)

Verdict

Bluesbreaker likes to get on with things and will possibly lead the field in the early stages from stall five. The six-year-old could have a couple in trouble some way out now racing 7lb lower than his last winning mark. The Dermot Weld-trained LUZUM found the sharp trip too much last time out and can go well stepping up in distance while the improving pair Comhghairdeas and Castrogiovanni - formerly with Joseph O'Brien - can battle for the minor honours.
  1. Luzum
  2. Comhghairdeas
  3. Bluesbreaker
