Has put together a couple of consistent starts recently including when keeping on well to finish third of 16 in a Fairyhouse 6f handicap earlier this month. Worth a market check up in trip and visor removed.
Lightly-raced maiden, ran fair race at Roscommon last time out, remains over this trip and retains scope for doing better.
Game sort who showed plenty of promise in three starts when last seen in May. More progress possible and not dismissed.
Distance winner of a Listowel handicap on heavy ground in September 2016 off a similar mark to today's. Won on penultimate start at Bellewstown earlier this month and one for the shortlist.
Distance winner who was beaten favourite in a Leopardstown 1m handicap last month. Won over this trip at Fairyhouse in May off an 11lb lower mark. Could struggle in this company.
Dual distance winner with the sole win on turf over this trip came in a Listowel handicap over three years ago off a 9lb higher mark. Has clearly regressed over time and looks opposable here.
Generally well held in a number of starts over the last month or so including a 9½L defeat in a Fairyhouse 6f handicap earlier this month. Well held eighth of 10 on sole start over this trip over 12-months ago.
Lightly-raced maiden, eighth of 11 in maiden at Limerick on first start for this yard last month before an improved performance when fifth of 15 beaten 4L at Killarney earlier this month. Market to be informative.
Lilbourne Lad filly is a half-sister to three winners, including two-year-old 7f winner Forrest Prince. Five-race maiden but improving with every run for this yard and worth a market check.
Well held but not disgraced in a number of starts this summer. Disappointing when running over a mile earlier this month but is more suited to this trip.
Will have disappointed connections in a series of dismal displays this season, finishing last of 29 before bringing up the rear in a 17-runner 5f contest at Naas last month.
43-race maiden who remains without a success in 24 Flat starts on the turf. Very little to be positive about.
Has appeared over-whelmed in a number of recent performances including a 15L defeat at the Curragh when last over this trip in May.
Off the mark at the ninth time of asking in a 13-runner Roscommon handicap over this trip earlier this month off a 3lb lower mark. Could be anything now with a win on the board.
Winner over this trip earlier this month winning a Fairyhouse handicap when ridden clear in the closing stages to win by ¾L to lose her maiden tag at the eighth time of asking.

Winner over this trip earlier this month winning a Fairyhouse handicap when ridden clear in the closing stages to win by ¾L, LA NOVIA can take advantage of her good form and low weight to see off the attentions of Guanabara Bay and Landline who can hit the the frame. The David Marnane gelding Kodiacs Back is better than his bare form suggests and is worthy of consideration.
