Course winner who finished second of 13 beaten a short-head over C&D in December. Likely to be tough off top weigh but has a decent draw.

A model of consistency all year until a below par efforts at Naas and Navan last month. Without success in three starts here and hard to see her making any significant impact here.

12/1
Solid and consistent performer in five starts since winning a Roscommon handicap off a 7lb lower mark in August. Clearly better than last run and this C&D winner is entitled to make the shortlist here.

Holds a 30% winning strike rate here and is two from four over C&D. Has been kept busy this season and is now back on a very attractive mark.

28-race maiden who is constantly running well in defeat. Others look to be progressing at a quicker rate and the filly has plenty to prove.

Well held in three starts on turf before a promising AW debut earlier this month. Market likely to reveal expectations from a positive draw.

Lost his maiden tag in a handicap at Navan in the summer and ran a promising race in defeat on AW debut earlier this month when finishing 3½L adrift of the winner. Open to plenty of improvement on this surface.

Looked like a nice prospect when trained by William Haggas but he's struggled for various connections since leaving that yard. Promising run here earlier this month over 5f and step up in trip not sure to suit.

Distance winner of a Wolverhampton handicap in August off a bottom draw mark. Well held on the AW at Newcastle since and market likely to be the best guide here.

Well beaten at big odds on each of her five starts and makes very little appeal in this heat.

50/1
Ran a couple of decent races at Navan in June but not as good since and this 15-race maiden isn't likely to be getting off the mark any time soon.

Has run nine times around his venue over a variety of trips since joining this handler, rarely looking like making a breakthrough. Hard to recommend on three 2018 efforts on stable debut.

Ran well in defeat here earlier this month over 5f finishing fifth of 14 beaten 2¾L. Could go well back up in trip from positive draw.

Career best form was when fourth behind Dash D'or in a Naas 6f handicap before another disappointing effort over 5f at Navan last month. Market likely to reveal expectations on AW introduction.

Forecasts

Brave Display (9/2), Lapilli (5/1), Smart Stinger (6/1), Bellick (7/1), Mulzamm (7/1), Polly Douglas (8/1), Hatton Cross (12/1), Rock In Society (12/1), Red All Star (16/1), Downtown Diva (16/1), S P B Lucky (16/1), Ancient Astronaut (16/1), Bonnie Park (18/1), Palmetto Bay (20/1), Gillabbey Rock (33/1), Kings Of Luxor (50/1)

Verdict

BRAVE DISPLAY has a 30% winning strike rate here and is two from four over C&D and poses the biggest chance of landing the prize running 6lb below his last winning mark. The four-year-old is drawn well in five and can hold of the challenges of course winner, Smart Stinger and Hattons Cross. Beaten 2½L over C&D in August, Ancient Astronaut can go well at a price.
