Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Gary Carroll| T: T Doyle| OR: 102| D

25/1

Distance winner who won a Leopardstown 7f rated race in June 2017. Well beaten when highly tried since but more expected on handicap debut.

Baraweez⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 100| CD

14/1

Winner of this race in 2014 and 2015 before finishing fifth in 2016 and runner-up in 12-months ago. Two wins this season have come at Chester but was well held on Tuesday. Better expected here with premium conditions.

7/1

Interesting British raider who won as he liked on seasonal bow at Haydock in April off an 11lb lower mark. May struggle off new mark.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: W J Lee| T: M C Grassick| OR: 99| D

16/1

Never nearer in a couple of starts this season at Leopardstown and the Curragh. Needs to improve to play a role in this company.

Form: 2510-65

Medicine Jack⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 98

14/1

Won the Group 2 Railway stakes as a two-year-old and was first past the post when not unbacked in a Naas 6f contest in March. Place claims in this company.

Shared Equity³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 96| D

10/1

British raider, distance winner of a 7f handicap at the Derby meeting in June at Epsom. Beaten since on the AW at Newcastle but this looks to have been the target for some time.

Form: 0-26313

Master Speaker^t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A McGuinness| OR: 93

20/1

Won his first two starts for this yard at Dundalk but hasn't quite been able to match that level since. Running style may mean hitting trouble at the business end of the race.

Form: 447270

Danielsflyer⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 92

12/1

British raider looked to come back to form in a Redcar 7f handicap in June when beaten a nose on good to firm ground. Could be on a handy mark for this contest.

Canary Row^v¹¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Ronan Whelan| T: P J Prendergast| OR: 91| D

20/1

Dual distance winner at Listowel and Gowran Park in the past and ran Dream Walker to 1L in this race 12-months ago. Leading player with conditions to suit.

Form: 1446-04

Dream Walker^t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: J P Fahey| OR: 91| CD

5/1

Has won this race for the last two years and runs off a similar mark going for the hat-trick. Beaten 2¼L in a 1m½f handicap here on Monday, which should set him up nicely for a big run here.

Form: 050-975

Bond Street⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D O'Brien| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 95| D

7/2

Improving handicap who deserves a change of luck for leading connections. Entitled to make the shortlist here off a handy mark with conditions to suit.

Full Moon¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J A Heffernan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 95

20/1

Sole win to date came at Dundalk and while he's been largely campaigned at pattern level since, he's been disappointing. Not beaten far on handicap debut at the Curragh last month but appears to be yards second choice here.

Form: 250728

Tresorier²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: S Foley| T: J Feane| OR: 88

10/1

Improved on a couple of dismal starts this season when finishing third of nine beaten 2½L in a Kilarney 1m handicap last month. Not ruled out but needs more consistency.

Form: 366-003

Theodorico¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: B A Curtis| T: D Loughnane| OR: 84| D

20/1

Now race 2lb lower than his last winning mark and has been generally disappointing since winning at Thirsk in August. Ground a major concern.

Form: 304-504

Turbine^v⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 84| BF| D

7/1

Distance winner who finished 12th of 17 beaten 6L here on Monday over 1m½f. 19-race maiden on the Flat and hard to fancy in this contest.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 82| D

20/1

Distance winner but losing run dates back to August 2016 when in the care of David Loughnane. Plenty more needed in this group.

There is no doubt that BARAWEEZ comes alive at this track and festival. C&D winner of this race in 2014 and 2015 before finishing fifth and runner-up in this contest 12-months ago. His down the field run here on Tuesday can be easily dismissed and a bold run is expected here. The potential improver Bond Street from the Aiden O'Brien yard is sure to be popular in the market along with Dream Walker who will be going for his third win in the race can battle for the minor honours. Shared Equity is deserving of consideration with conditions in the geldings favour.
