Unlucky not to have got her head in front in 12 starts to date. Handicapper reluctant to relent but she has place claims nonetheless.
Not won since his second heavy ground win at Cork in 2016. Struggling with slow starts from the stalls of late and hard to fancy in his current mood.
Badly out of form in recent times. Barely beaten a rival home in his last four starts and first-time blinkers reached for now.
Yet to win in 11 starts. Becoming well-handicapped on his form from England but struggling of late and others make more appeal.
A maiden after nine starts but shaping like she's going to get her head in front soon in recent starts. First-time blinkers will help and won't be far away if she reproduces her third from last time.
Has returned to form this season and followed up a couple of placed efforts with a win over 5f last time. Stayed on well and gives the impression she may be equally as effective over this trip. Leading claims with top claimer booked.
Just four starts but improved a little on handicap debut to finish fifth of 13 at Cork last time. Drop in trip could see her to even better effect and capable of going well.
Yet to show anything in her first three starts including turf debut at the Curragh last time. No obvious reason she will improve on handicap debut.
Improved on handicap debut at Tipperary last time. Different conditions here but Champion Jockey booked and may go well. Market may prove the best guide to his chance.
Some promise in his debut run but shown very little in two starts since and may need this on return from an absence. Wears first-time tongue-tie.
Not won in 17 starts. Has run some fair races in defeat and getting down to a reasonable mark but this looks competitive.
Badly struggling for any sort of form of late and yet to win in 10 starts. First-time tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect.
Ran well at Dundalk in December but largely struggling since and he was a well beaten 17th of 18 here last time out.
Just one win from 24 starts to date but she has run well in low grade affairs at Ayr on last couple of starts. This likely to be more competitive though.
Well beaten on each of his first 10 starts but produced a better effort behind Gopsies Daughter last time out here over 5f. Needs to build on that now.
Yet to win in 36 starts and just placed once in that time at Dundalk. Last of 15 at Gowran last time and hard to fancy on all known form.
Forecasts
Gopsies Daughter (5/2), Goodnite Irina (6/1), Kings Of Luxor (7/1), Time Stands Still (7/1), Downtown Diva (9/1), Bellick (12/1), Dash D'Or (14/1), Rising Eagle (16/1), A Few Dollars More (16/1), Nightflight (16/1), Guiding Star (16/1), Oakledge (20/1), Just Waterville (25/1), Blue Bounty (25/1), Minor Melody (33/1), Scobias (50/1)
TIME STANDS STILL ran well last time the fitting of first-time headgear may help her get her head in front. Goodnite Irina may not have won a race yet but she's been running well of late and can't be ruled out while Gopsies Daughter has been in excellent form of late and is likely to be the main danger to the selection.

- Gopsies Daughter
