Winner on soft ground for Edward Lynam who showed she handled quicker conditions when third on stable debut. That performance can be upgraded as the first two had the better ground.

Prolific Dundalk winner for previous yard but disappointing since joining this yard and particularly so on turf last time.

Failed to build on a couple of positive displays in May when well held on last two starts. He is without a win on turf since September 2015.

Down to the sort of mark she can usually compete from but her best form has come over longer trips.

Has done little in four starts at Dundalk but now makes his handicap debut in a weak contest for a yard that can land a punt.

Ran a promising race on return to the track finishing fifth of 16 beaten 2L in a Navan handicap. Failed to build on that here last time but the hood worn then is now removed.

This trip looked inadequate here in June as did a mile at Bellewstown two weeks ago. Beaten on the AW since and will need to find top gear a lot sooner back at this trip.

Still a maiden after 11 starts and while he's been consistent on AW in recent times he has plenty to find at these weights on stable debut.

Has shown little in three maidens and now makes handicap debut. Likely to improve but yard have gone a while without a winner.

At his best on a fast surface but below-par in blinkers (now removed) on last two starts. 4lb out of the weights but decent claimer on board.

Nine-race maiden and well beaten in two starts so far this season. Wears blinkers for the first time here.

Maiden after 40 starts in this sphere, and normally plies his trade in lowest-grade of handicap, so easy to dismiss from calculations.

Seven-race maiden whose best effort came in a weak race at Ayr. Has a stiff task from out of the handicap and new headgear tried for the first time.

Well beaten on all starts in varied headgear. Hard to fancy from out of the handicap given a particularly dismal display last time.

Poor form figures so far and highly surprising if this €1,000 purchase is good enough to even make the frame.

Focus Of Attention (11/8), Beau Rocko (9/2), Olly's Folly (10/1), Lily's Prince (12/1), Just Waterville (12/1), Billyfairplay (12/1), Nightflight (12/1), Secret Memories (14/1), Simbas Song (18/1), Split The Atom (20/1), Florida's King (20/1), Zwack (20/1), Scobias (25/1), Flamin Audi (25/1), Qatar Delight (33/1), Hanrai (33/1), Gillabbey Rock (33/1)

Verdict

FOCUS OF ATTENTION may be conceding plenty of weight but she is the only one to perform close to her best last time and she should improve for the run. Nightflight can give a good account at a decent price with headgear now removed, a remark that also applies to Just Waterville.
