Running well in defeat over the summer. Always likely to bump in to one or two better handicapped in recent weeks and this contest is no different.
C&D winner here in June off a 1lb lower mark. Beaten since over the summer and heading back to a level he can be dangerous from.
Well held when last of 11 at Dundalk on the AW last week, but summer turf form puts him in the mix here.
Still a maiden after 10 starts over a variety of trips. Can go well but may find one or two too good in this contest.
Good form over this trip on the AW at Dundalk previously but has failed to transfer that model on turf, suffering a number of heavy defeats recently.
Second of 15 beaten the shortest of margins in a Navan handicap on good ground recently over a similar trip. Any market confidence should be noted.
Beaten favourite on sole start for Saeed bin Suroor last September and purchased for £25,000 by current connections subsequently. Beaten in two starts on the AW at Dundalk in the spring and best watched here.
Second of 16 recently in a promising start at Gowran Park earlier this month over 1m. Step up in trip likely to be positive.
Lightly raced mare recently made her return to action in a Down Royal 7f handicap earlier this month, finishing third of 14 beaten a little over 3L on good ground. Open to plenty of improvement.
Nothing in three maiden starts to recommend and handicap starts at Roscommon and Navan didn't produce any improvement.
Without a win on the Flat since June 2017 off a 4lb higher mark and the veteran is slowly dropping to a mark he can be dangerous from.
Well down the field in three starts to date and first time visor unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Has been left toiling in a number of turf starts since the spring before not finding Laytown's beach to his liking on a recent visit there. Looks vulnerable in this company.
Nothing of note in three dour career starts to date. Even her best form would probably leave her short of what is required here.
Now a 31-race maiden, no impact in Ballinrobe claimer over 1m1½f last month and in a 2m4f hurdles race at the same track, before another heavy defeat at Navan earlier in the month. Easier to look elsewhere for the winner.
Slight hint of promise in a Dundalk appearance on the AW recently finishing sixth of 14 over 1m, but overall framework leaves a little to be desired.
Showed nothing in two outings for Jim Bolger last year and sold for just 2,500 guineas to current connections. Not much to shout about just yet.
Has produced a number of laboured runs since May, never a factor on each occasion. Hard to see him making any significant impact in first-time blinkers.
Best effort so far came when finishing 3½L seventh over 7f at Dundalk back in March, before finishing fourth of 16 beaten a little over 2L at Tipperary last month.

The likes of Daly An Sceil, Wavepoint and Lady Argentum are probably pace makers here in the early stages, paving the way for a couple of closers, notably, INVINCIBLE QUEEN who can possibly get a settled position drawn one before making his move. The consistent four-year-old can see off the attentions of Highly Toxic, Konig Hall and Touch Of Gold who are all capable of hitting the frame.
