Two wins from 22 starts and has disappointed on his last couple of efforts. May need relief from the assessor before he's of interest again.
Completed a double when winning over 1m2f at Ayr on good ground in August and got back on the winning trail at Ffos Las last month off a 6lb lower mark. Tough ask now 17lb higher than first win in July.
Well held and no impression in three career starts to date and unlikely to figure in the finish here.
Running well in defeat since landing a Fairyhouse handicap last month but the handicapper is still taking no chances.
C&D winner, her only win on turf, for trainer Joseph O'Brien in May off a 6lb higher mark. Nowhere near that form for new connections in four starts.
Winner of a Leopardstown 7f maiden on seasonal debut in April on heavy ground. Generally well held since and may find one or two better handicapped here.
Distance winner who was beaten favourite in a Limerick handicap over 7f earlier in the month. Ground a concern.
Eight-race maiden whose career best efforts have come on soft of heavy ground. Open to improvement on this ground.
Running well in defeat and yet to add to his sole win in eight. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.
Appears to be improving with every run and is suited by cut in the ground and can build on her impressive run here over C&D earlier in the month.
Well held in four career starts to date and First time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Beaten but not disgraced in a couple of starts over this trip and could easily improve for the fitting of first-time visor.
Beat a subsequent winner in Bellewstown claimer before finding heavy ground against back in handicap company next time. Third of 15 on yielding Navan ground earlier this month and one for the shortlist here.
Best effort so far when upped to 1m1½f at Gowran on good to firm ground last month off a 3lb higher mark. Generally well held over this trip and others preferred.
Beaten favourite on the AW at Dundalk earlier this month and best watched in the market stepping up in trip.
Canford Cliffs filly. Half-sister to several winners over a variety of trips. Failed to build on promising debut at the Curragh in May in a couple of starts since and hard to fancy here.

CENTRIFOLIA can defy her 3lb rise for a short-head defeat at the hands of Art Of America last week over C&D. The Dark Angel filly, just failed to get to the winner as she came with a strong run in the closing stages. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Royal Navy Warship is finding life difficult at the moment and won't get it any easier here. The War Front colt may have to settle for a position behind distance winner in August,Akua and the Dermot Weld-trained Rock Sound.
