Former top-class sprinter who gained his last win at Naas in October 2017. On the downgrade last year, and likely to need this run after an absence.
Solid and consistent on the AW at Dundalk earlier in the year, and translated that form back to turf when third of 16 behind Solar Wave at Naas last month. Respected.
Won a Dundalk maiden on debut and ran with credit when 20/1 behind a smart sort in Listed class next time. Well beaten in two subsequent starts in 2018, but still unexposed, and could well bounce back after a break.
In excellent form this spring, following a second at Navan last month with victory in a 20-runner handicap at Naas (6f) last time. Looks sure to give another good account.
Won four times in 2018, and now 4lb lower than when gaining last of those wins at Bellewstown in July. Several respectable efforts on AW of late, and can do better returned to turf.
Won twice at Navan last year, and probably needed the run for sharpness when 3¾L eighth of 23 to Madam Seamstress there on his return. Should have no excuses now.
Landed a modest handicap over C&D last August, and quickly back to the same mark after a couple of lesser efforts later last year. Tongue tie fitted for return to action, and needs to find her best form.
Soft ground maiden winner over 5f at The Curragh when making her debut, but hasn't added to that, and ran poorly at Naas on her return last month.
Useful form as a juvenile in Britain, but off well over two years before finishing down the field at Navan on his return. Fared better when second in a Dundalk claimer last time, but another step forward required here.
Sole win was on the turf last summer, but running creditably on AW of late, and in the frame over this trip at Dundalk on last two starts. Not without a chance back on this surface.
In the form of her life last year, winning at Cork and Naas and generally running well on her other starts. Badly drawn on return to action at latter track, and not judged harshly on that.
Won at the 18th attempt at Down Royal (5f) in September. Below that form later last year, but returned with a creditable fourth of 23 to Madam Seamstress at Navan last month. May yet do better, and not ruled out.
Placed twice at Navan in the autumn for Noel Meade, but has been struggling for form since, and no easy task making debut for a new yard here.

Mokhalad (5/2), Sors (13/2), Stanhope (7/1), Early Call (7/1), Hathiq (8/1), Andre Amar (10/1), Nigg Bay (12/1), Aspen Belle (14/1), Maarek (16/1), Enter The Red (16/1), Dandys Ocean (20/1), Art Of Unity (25/1), Plough Boy (25/1), Dandyman Port (33/1)
An open race, but MOKHALAD arrives at the top of his game and make most appeal, with Early Call respected having posted an improved effort on his return at Navan last month. Stanhope and Sors are others for the shortlist.
