Winner of three of his 18 Flat starts the latest of which coming in a Cork 6½f handicap in May off a 4lb lower mark. Tough ask from the top of the weights.
Distance winner who has been out of form since finishing fourth of 14 beaten 2¼L in a Leopardstown 7f handicap in April. Needs to improve in this company.
6f heavy-ground Pontefract winner on penultimate start for former yard in September from a mark of 85. Running fair races on the AW at Dundalk since joining this trainer and possibly needed first turf start for a while at Navan in April.
Winner of two of his 24 Flat starts on turf but losing run dates back to October 2016. Not to be trusted given his habit of missing the start.
Failed to build on encouraging fifth of 14 beaten 2¾L on seasonal debut in a 7f Leopardstown handicap in April. Liable to find a couple stronger here.
Has failed to get off the mark in four starts for influential connections finishing down the fired on a couple of occasions. Drop in trip a possible positive.
Winner over C&D in August and followed up at Listowel next time off a 5lb higher mark. Well held on a number of occasions since and possibly best watched on return to the track.
Hasn't won since he was trained by Henry Candy back in 2015. Well held over further in two starts earlier this month and the popular veterans best days seem to be behind him.
Not much to shout about in three career starts to date since May. Likely to struggle once again in this company.
Nothing of note and generally well held in a number of below-par starts since April and remains an eight-race maiden. Others look more convincing at this level.
Consistent gelding by Vocalised who deserves a change of luck given a couple of near-misses recently. Entitled to make the shortlist.
C&D winner, last win on the Flat came last September off a 12lb higher mark. Clearly has regressed of late and well below-par form looks set to continue here.
Well beaten on both starts as a juvenile and failed to beat a rival home on her reappearance at Naas before another disappointment at the Curragh last month. Plenty to prove at present.
Appeared to improve for the drop down to 6f earlier this month when finishing third of 30 behind the improving A Likely Story at the Curragh. Others preferred.

DANDY'S GOLD can get back to winning ways here. The Top weight is a winner of three of his 18 Flat starts the latest of which coming in a Cork 6½f handicap in May and can hold of the attentions of potential improver Handsome Maverick and Landline who was not beaten far last time out earlier this month. A market check should be kept on the Dermot Weld-trained Simiyna.
