C&D winner who was last seen finishing fourth of 11 beaten 6L here over 1m last month. Comes in to the reckoning dropping back down to this trip.
6f winner in France who has not been beaten far in a couple of starts at Tipperary and Fairyhouse recently. Place claims on better 6f form.
Well beaten on the return to the track following a long lay-off when last seen in June finishing 13th of 14 runners. First time tongue-tie doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.
C&D winner and winner at the track on no less than six occasions. Well held on turf latest but worthy of consideration back here.
Will have disappointed connections with three dismal displays last season. Not seen since October the market is likely to reveal expectations on return to the track.
C&D winner back in February but has suffered defeats on turf since. Worth a market on return to this track with conditions to suit here.
Had a break after a busy winter on the AW at Dundalk and returned with a couple of sound efforts since July. Without a win on 12 visits here is a major concern.
Fifth of six well held over 8L on sole visit here in April before a number of defeats on turf and liable to find a couple quicker here.
C&D winner who noe races 5lb lower than her last winning mark. First-time visor could inspire improvement but this looks a tall order.
Possibly needed the run on the AW at Dundalk in April on her return to the track following a promising 2017 campaign and certainly showed some old spark when finishing 2½L fifth of 13 at Fairyhouse last month. Enters calculations here.
Well held when finishing down the field in a number of disappointing displays on turf since June and remains without a win in 17 starts here. Others preferred.
First-time handicap and step back in trip for unplaced filly who has gone off at 100/1 in her last two races.
Well held in her last three starts on turf since May. Beaten 4¾L on her sole start here in April but others hold stronger profiles.
Nothing of note in a series of below par performances since the turn of the year and hard to fancy in this company.

Royal Navy Warship (3/1), Zeeyalater (9/2), Seanie (5/1), Lavinuela (8/1), My Good Brother (10/1), Forza Libranno (10/1), Lion Hearted (11/1), Pavlichenko (12/1), Clebourne (12/1), Double Czech (14/1), Dash D'Or (14/1), Breezolini (16/1), Chosen Rock (16/1), Scobias (20/1), Rhythm Of Love (28/1), My Lark (40/1), Rock In Society (40/1)
Could be a battle for the early lead in the early stages with Seanie, Clebourne and Double Czech all likely to set the pace here. The early speed could well set the race up for the returning colt, ROYAL NAVY WARSHIP who generally disappointing last season but will look to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Zeeyalater and course specialists, Seanie, Clebourne and My Good Brother can contest the minor honours.
