Has shown very little over hurdles since joining this yard but she's an interesting runner on the pick of her French form and yard had a winner here Saturday. Not ruled out on first start on the Flat for this yard.
Gained a first win since 2016 over C&D two starts back but he disappointed when favourite on contrasting ground here next time and conditions may have gone against him again.
Working his way back down to a more feasible mark now but with good reason and not beaten many home in two starts this season. Not guaranteed to stay and others preferred.
Won twice last year but form this year has been well below par and he's opposable despite returning below his last winning handicap mark.
Won twice for Dermot Weld but would appear to be regressing for his new connections. May want a step back up in trip to be seen to best effect.
Won once in five starts last year and returned with an excellent effort over C&D when runner-up last time. Entitled to come on for that effort and she's a leading player with a less exposed profile than many of her rivals.
Improving with each starts and got his head in front in a Killarney maiden last time out in comfortable fashion. Handicapper has given him a real chance on handicap debut.
Won twice last year including a win in this race and returned to form with a good second at Leopardstown last time. Quite possibly still more to come and she has each-way claims.
Won twice last year and looked progressive until his form tailed off at the end of the season. Respected here but likely to need the run.
Yet to win in eight starts on turf but has run some fair races in defeat and he may have needed his latest outing off the back of a 99-day break. Not dismissed, dropped 1lb by the handicapper.
Forecasts
Espoir D'Soleil (5/4), Maths Prize (11/2), Agent Zigzag (6/1), Hamley (13/2), Song Of Namibia (8/1), Tirmizi (14/1), New Direction (16/1), Nimitz (25/1), Mary Sun (33/1), Sevenleft (50/1)
ESPOIR D'SOLEIL is an exciting prospect who is likely to come on for her most recent outing. Hamley won this race last year and she ought to be thereabouts again. Mary Sun is the unknown quantity who can't be ruled out for a yard in flying form.
