Won a couple of claimers at Ballinrobe during the summer but held back in a couple of handicaps before getting on the board again in a Hamilton handicap over 1½ earlier this month. Leading player here.
The drop back to a mile did the trick at Killarney last month when battling on well to win, before slightly disappointing off her new mark at Listowel earlier this month. Open to more improvement here.
€60,000 yearling by Mastercraftsman out of a German 1m1f winner. Nothing of note in three disappointing career starts to date. Tough time ahead.
Beaten over 10L in all career starts and has not been seen since November. Looks up against it on return here.
Unplaced in seven races for Jessica Harrington and continued the trend for this yard when stepping back to 6½f when last seen in June. Plenty more needed in this group.
Not really fired on any cylinders so far this year and is becoming a bit frustrating. Drops back in trip here but hard to fancy given recent efforts.
Well beaten in six starts for trainer-John Gosden and unable to halt decline in three starts for new connections. Hard to place any faith in.
A single promising run in five doesn't instill much confidence for the Born To Sea filly. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.
17-race maiden who has been down the field in a couple of recent starts at Sligo and Bellewstown recently. Opposable on current form.
Six-race maiden and never a factor in four starts for connections he joined in April. Needs to improve to have a say here.
Cheap purchase Footstepsinthesand filly out of a Saddler's Wells mare. Well held in three starts so far including a 12½L defeat at Tipperary last month. Likely to struggle here.
Got off the mark at the ninth time of asking for connections in a 1m Killarney handicap on good ground last month off a 2lb lower mark., staying on strongly in the closing stages.
Has started at 100/1 on each of his three career starts, running accordingly on each occasion. First-time hood unlikely to make much difference.
22-race maiden who is yet to make the frame. Hard to be optimistic about his prospects at present.
Without a win in a couple of career hurdle starts and one from 17 on the Flat. Tailed off this month on the level at Listowel before a shuddering 31L defeat at Ballinrobe last week. May find this a tough assignment.
Five-race maiden, best effort so far over 1m4f on soft going at Roscommon last month, still leaves her well short of what is needed here.
Made debut in August but has generally disappointed connections showing relatively little in three disappointing efforts since. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Largely well held in four career starts to date including a couple on turf, though there was hints of promise at Roscommon in June, but still up against it here.
Seven-race maiden whose career best came earlier this month at Gowran Park finishing fourth of 15 beaten a little over 3L on good to firm ground. Can go well but may find one or two improving at a quicker rate.

If not leaving it too late, DANEHILL QUEST can land the spoils in the closing race of the day, under jockey Gavin Ryan. The three-year-old won at the ninth time of asking for connections in a 1m Killarney handicap on good ground last month off a 2lb lower mark., staying on strongly in the closing stages, shaping like the step up in trip would suit. Distance winner Military Hill, the Patrick Flynn-trained Lizard Point and Bella Rua in first-time tongue-tie can battle for the minor honours.
