Filly by Shamardal out of a Linamix mare. Found plenty of trouble in running when finishing 12th of 23 beaten 5½L when well backed on seasonal debut in a Navan sprint handicap last month. Step up in trip should suit.
Hit the frame over C&D in a heavy ground maiden over three years ago. Won a Roscommon handicap over 7½f in August off a similar mark but form somewhat tailed off a little towards the end of the season. Distance winner worth a market check.
Won just two of 39 career starts and arrives here on a 21-race losing run following an encouraging run when beaten 4¼L in a Leopardstown 7f handicap on Wednesday. Has hit the frame over C&D and market is possibly best guide.
Lightly raced distance winner of a Tipperary three-year-old handicap on stable debut in August off a 2lb lower mark. Out of form towards the end of last season and makes little appeal on comeback.
Winner of four of her starts over this trip from 32 starts with the majority of her 12 career victories coming on the AW. Has not shown a great deal in two starts at Dundalk recently since joining new connections from the Joseph Tuite yard.
Seven race maiden but went well on heavy ground in a Listowel handicap over 7f last September beaten a little over 4L before disappointing once again here over 1m when last seen in October. Others preferred.
By Fastnet Rock out of an Invincible Spirit mare. Half-sister to 2m winner Newellen, dam placed in a Listed contest over 1m. Needs to improve but looks dangerous on handicap debut.
Maiden of 14 races and with third trainer already. Second of nine beaten 2¾L over C&D in June of last year on good to firm ground off an 11lb higher mark. Clearly regressing but improvement would not surprise.
Remains an 11-race maiden but was running well in defeat in a number of starts towards the end of last season. Still looking no nearer to breakthrough success.
Off the mark for connections at the 19th time of asking landing a Thurles 1m handicap on good to firm ground in October off a 6lb lower mark. Beaten since but has hit the frame over C&D in all three visits here.
Filly by Arcano out of a Generous mare. Nothing of note in a number of desolate efforts last Autumn until a much improved performance at Dundalk on the AW when last seen in November. Unlikely to play a part in the finish on return to action.
Distance winner who finished third of 15 over C&D in July 2017 off a 6lb higher mark. Has struggled in the main since and remains just two from 27 in his career. Is hard to enthuse over in this company.
Filly by Red Jazz out of a Invincible Spirit mare. Improvement needed on five career starts on the AW at Dundalk since debut in December including a 7½L defeat when last seen in February. Hard to make a case for her on form to hand.
A couple of encouraging runs last summer were not built on with the Zoffany filly producing a couple of poor efforts including finishing last of 15 beaten 28L at Roscommon on her last appearance in September. Looks opposable.
Course winner that has also won over this trip. Sole win from eight visits here came in a 1m handicap in June 2017 off a 3lb higher mark. Well held in a couple of spins over timber since the turn of the year and looks up against it.

This could come down to a match in the closing stages between the Fastnet Rock mare Fascinating Spirit who is out of an Invincible Spirit mare, on handicap debut and PESHKOVA who was well backed at Navan last month only to find trouble in running on more than one occasion. The four-year-old mare should be inconvenienced by the step up in trip here and can hold off the attentions of Althib who has hit the frame over C&D in all three visits.
