4/1
Consistent mare who tends to run her race but struggles to get her head in front. Now racing 4lb lower than last winning mark and a leading player here.

By no means disgraced in a number of career maidens and enters calculations on handicap debut.

Gallant second of 16 over C&D in July off a 1lb lower mark. Not beaten far in two starts since and strong place claims here.

8/1
Four-race maiden who has been running well on defeat including when beaten a little over 3L in a 7f Cork handicap last month. Capable of hitting the frame here.

12/1
Eight-race maiden who had shown little signs of ability before a promising second of 12 at Down Royal in June before once again finishing down the field at Gowran Park last month. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Early form has been disappointing since debut in July. First time visor unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Age: 6|  Weight: 8-11| J: Leigh Roche| T: P J Flynn| OR:  48

Well held over hurdles recently and remains a seven-race maiden on turf. Latest form doesn't warrant support here.

Well held on return to the track in a Navan 1m handicap in April following 12-months away from the action. Hard to fancy back from another break.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-8| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Mrs D Foster| OR:  45
33/1
Nine-race maiden last seen in a Dundalk handicap in December on the AW bringing up the rear in a 14-runner contest. Plenty more needed here.

Age: 4|  Weight: 8-8| J: Andrew Slattery(7)| T: D Budds| OR:  45
25/1
Nothing of note in a couple of starts since returning to action in August. First time cheekpieces inconceivable to produce the required amount of development needed to play a role here.

Age: 7|  Weight: 8-8| J: Chris Hayes| T: D Marnane| OR:  45| D
10/1
Regressive sort who is now racing 16lb lower than his last winning mark and will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.

Lady Rangerp27
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-8| J: C P Hoban| T: P McCreery| OR:  45
40/1
Over two years since she won and now races 16lb lower than her last winning mark. Recent form far from compelling and best avoided at present.

Hints of ability on handicap debut in a 1m Gowran Park contest last month but plenty more needed in this group.

23-race maiden who showed a hint of ability in a 1m2f Navan handicap last month finishing fourth of 19, the first time he had hit the frame in his career.

Improved on the AW at Dundalk on handicap debut last month but first time cheekpieces less likely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.

€40,000 breeze-up purchase in 2017 and related to a couple of winners. Has appeared to be improved for a wind-op but not enough to be landing a blow here.

Nam (4/1), Prove The Point (4/1), Kashid (9/2), Roman Gal (8/1), Leavethekeysinher (10/1), Kodiac's Back (10/1), Solomons Seal (12/1), Harvey Specter (14/1), Dolly Levi (16/1), Jessamine (16/1), Paddytheirishman (20/1), Little Luna (25/1), Getaway Queen (25/1), New York Lady (25/1), Fast On (33/1), Fianchetto (33/1), Lady Ranger (40/1)

Verdict

PROVE THE POINT appears well ahead of most of the field when it comes to ability and can land the spoils here improving on his run at Navan on Saturday seeing off the attentions of Jessica Harrington's Kashid, potential improver, Nam and Mick Halfords Roman Gal, who is better than her finishing positions suggest.
  1. Prove The Point
  2. Kashid
