Cappadocia¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: D M Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: M Fahey| OR: 65| CD

14/1

Winner of four of his 13 starts over C&D, last win coming in August off a similar mark. Not to be taken lightly.

Form: 618000

(13)

Evies Wish¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S M Crosse⁽⁵⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 64| D

20/1

Won a maiden in impressive fashion at Newcastle last year but hasn't been able to land a blow from her revised mark subsequently. Others look open to more improvement.

Form: 536400

Blue Whisper^p1¹⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: J A Heffernan| T: S Donohoe| OR: 63

25/1

Modest four-race 67-rated maiden for trainer James Eustace. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 7-956

(8)

Teddy Boy^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: S Foley| T: E Lynam| OR: 61

7/1

Running well in defeat in four career starts to date. Needs to improve in a big way to have a say here.

Form: 6656

Landline^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rory Cleary| T: T Cleary| OR: 55| D

12/1

Distance winner who has been generally well held here in three starts to date. Claims from the draw but hard to fancy on evidence to hand.

Form: 319060

(10)

Amazing One^t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Declan McDonogh| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 54

5/1

Failed to improve on a promising run over 7f behind Jacmel earlier this month when weakening in the final furlong finishing ninth of 13 recently. Others look more convincing.

Form: 895239

(7)

Kareless^b²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Coakley⁽³⁾| T: M P Sunderland| OR: 54

25/1

Well beaten on her first two starts in maidens here last winter and struggled in a dismal effort over 5f last month beaten over 8L. Others make more appeal.

Form: 50406

(12)

Ar Saoirse^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr⁽³⁾| T: D Marnane| OR: 53

14/1

Beaten 1L earlier this month over C&D but needs to prove consistency before being fully trusted to be a contender in this company.

Form: 9D7703

(5)

Tyrconnell^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D E Sheehy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Lynam| OR: 52| BF| D

2/1

Last win came on the Laytown beach and has hit the frame on his last couple of starts here over 7f. Drop in trip may assist his cause.

Form: 451333

(6)

Finvarra¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Madden⁽³⁾| T: N Madden| OR: 51

5/1

Running well in defeat on his first couple of starts here over 1m/7f. Interesting drop in trip and one to watch in the market.

Form: 792548

(2)

Rag Tatter¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Gary Halpin| T: R K Watson| OR: 50

16/1

Promising 75-rated handicapper for Kevin Ryan but was without success for most recent yard in 11 starts. Struggling of late but worth a market check on stable debut.

Form: 4-07008

(1)

Annesdale Dancer^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C P Hoban| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 48

33/1

Five-race maiden and well beaten when down the pack on each of three visits here previously. Likely to find it tough going here.

Form: 000-00

(9)

Elegant Lass¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K J Leonard⁽³⁾| T: T Gibney| OR: 47

40/1

Struggling six-race maiden well held here on her last couple of visits recently. Plenty to find on overall form.

Form: 563000

Zwack^t1¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: A Murray| OR: 47

40/1

First time tongue-tie doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here for modest four-race maiden.

Form: 08-00

Tyrconnell (2/1), Amazing One (5/1), Finvarra (5/1), Teddy Boy (7/1), Landline (12/1), Ar Saoirse (14/1), Cappadocia (14/1), Rag Tatter (16/1), Tomwontlisten (16/1), The Bittern Cry (16/1), Evies Wish (20/1), Kareless (25/1), Blue Whisper (25/1), Baile An Roba (25/1), Annesdale Dancer (33/1), Elegant Lass (40/1), Zwack (40/1)

The former Kevin Ryan-trained RAG TATTER could be interesting from stall 2 over this trip given he breaks well on stable debut under jockey Gary Halpin. The once-rated 75 four-year-old finished fourth of 13 beaten 1¾L over C&D last December and any repeat of that form puts him in the mix here. Distance winner Tyrconnell could emerge as the biggest threat here along with Finaara and the promising Amazing One.
