Course winner possibly on the wrong side of the track at the Curragh last month and must command respect back at this venue.
Something clearly amiss in January over C&D when last of 13 following some fine performances during November and December of last year. Out of form current and best left.
C&D winner not in great form over the summer and is now racing 5lb lower than his last winning mark. Plenty to prove here.
Last seen winning on the beach at Laytown earlier this month which has cost him a 5lb penalty. Looks a tall order off his new mark.
Winner over C&D in January off a 5lb lower mark. Running well in defeat in three starts since August and hold place claims here.
Won a 14-runner handicap over C&D here in December 2016 off a 3lb higher mark and could well hit the frame on return to this venue.
Has tackled a variety of trips obvious that she has a degree of ability, as shown when beaten a neck in a 1m fillies maiden at Dundalk in November 2017. Second of eight at Laytown earlier this month.
Has run well enough in five starts this season. First-time cheekpieces may assist. Yard have a 51% win and place strike rate here in meetings towards the end of September/early October.
Won here towards the end of last year and something of a specialist having landed six of her 19 races on this surface. Place claims.
Dropped back to this trip to land a Wolverhampton 7f handicap on AW at Wolverhampton last month off a 6lb lower mark. Beaten since, generally struggling off this rating.
Nine-race maiden who appeared to be getting his game together last month before a 7L defeat at Naas earlier this month as beaten favourite. Liable to 'bump' in to one again.
Winner of a British raid at Ffos Las earlier this month landing a 7½f handicap on soft ground beating 10 rivals by 3L. Market likely best guide here.
Without a win in five starts here but has hit the frame on three occasions, the most recent coming over C&D in January off a 2lb higher mark. Could go well at a price.
Winner here over 6f when last seen in November off an 8lb higher mark winning a 10-runner maiden by 1L. Yard have a 67% win and place strike rate here in meetings towards the end of September/early October.

The Ger Lyons yard have a 52% win and place strike rate here in meetings towards the end of September/early October and the four-year-old LADY NATHANIEL can build on her second of eight at Laytown recently. While three-year-old Global Pass deserves respect but he may be pipped for the minor honours by Ffos Las winner Time Stands Still and C&D winner, Coreczka.
