Ten race maiden who has been beaten in two races here including a 2¾L defeat over 5f last month when finishing fifth of 13.
C&D winner in March 2017 off a 9lb higher mark. Clearly struggling of late but could make his presence felt over this trip. Not easily dismissed.
Solid and consistent round here and arrives looking for a hat-trick of wins. 12lb higher than a win over C&D last month but more progress possible here.
Without a win in 12 starts here and well beaten in a couple of spins over C&D. Will need to improve to figure.
Winner at Chelmsford over 6f for trainer Mick Appleby as a below-standard 56-rated handicapper. Market likely to be the best guide on stable debut.
Second over C&D off a similar mark but remains an out of luck 18-race maiden. Running well in a number of starts since October but may be set to struggle from tough draw.
Well held in a couple of disappointing efforts here since October including a 3¾L defeat earlier this month over 7f. Others hold stronger profiles.
Sole win on the AW came at Chelmsford when in the care of William Durkan. Market possibly best guide on stable debut and dropping back down in trip.
Five race maiden and well held over C&D last month including finishing last of eight beaten 8L. Others appear to be progressing at a quicker rate.
Promising 75-rated handicapper for Kevin Ryan but was without success for this yard in 11 starts before a brief spell with Keith Watson. Encouraging signs on return to the yard and one for the shortlist.
Nothing of note in four starts here and first time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.
Sole success from 13 starts over C&D came last month off a 3lb lower mark. Not consistent enough and has a tough draw.
One from four over C&D but was badly out of form before having a year out. Best watched on return to action.

It would be extremely difficult to discount the chances of TYRCONNELL in his current vein of form following a couple of wins recently and with the adept Donagh O'Connor stepping in to claim a precious 5lb. The C&D winner can land a hat-trick of wins here at the expense of the Johnny Murtagh-trained Ajmera, the solid and consistent, Patrick Joseph and C&D winner Red All Star, who are all capable of hitting the frame.
