Put a shaky end to last season behind her with winning reappearance at Gowran Park (7f, yielding to soft) recently, entitled to be competitive from this new mark on past efforts.
Distance winner of a Naas three-year-old handicap over 12 months ago off a 9lb lower mark. Running well in defeat since and may have need reappearance at Gowran behind Stormy Belle (set pace). 5lb better off with re-opposing rival now.
Seasoned handicapper who has landed three contests over similar trips from 20 starts, most recent of which came in a Galway handicap in August off a 4lb lower mark. Well held at Cork recently, eased 2lb.
Good efforts in defeat since Roscommon win (7f, good) in September, including recent reappearance effort in third at Gowran Park behind Stormy Belle. Entitled to close gap on revised terms.
Won her maiden last season on heavy ground at Galway in September of 7f, hasn't really looked like adding to the tally since. Drops from Group 3 company at Leopardstown this month.
Well backed when making winning debut over 6f on soft ground a year ago but has not been able to build on that, including underwhelming reappearance at Leopardstown (7f, soft) this month. Visor tried now.
Landed a modest handicap at Tipperary last August, and quickly back to the same mark after a couple of lesser efforts later last year. Needs to find her best form on return.
Long-standing maiden but has gone close either side of a layoff, including ¾L second of 18 at Leopardstown this month over similar trip. Raised a pound.
Soft ground maiden winner over 5f at The Curragh when making her debut, but hasn't added to that. Two poor efforts to begin this term, best watched for now in first-time blinkers.
Second turf win arrived at Cork (7f, good to yielding) last weekend under this claiming rider. 6lb penalty to contend with now, can be competitive.
Two-year-old maiden winner in 2017 but made little impact in four handicaps last season or on return to action at Leopardstown this month; others appeal plenty more.
Navan maiden winner over 7f on good ground in October. Highly-tried at times, but needs to put disappointing end to last season firmly behind her.
One from nine starts on turf with her sole win coming in a Cork two-year-old handicap in October. Well held in three starts since but didn't run badly behind a few of these on reappearance at Gowran Park and may improve for it.
Maiden winner over similar trip at Cork (good) on third and final start last season; tailed off on reappearance at Leopardstown this month and has plenty to find (Reserve).

Stormy Belle had Thiswaycadeaux (third) and Dianthus (fifth) behind when scoring at Gowran Park earlier this month and all three should remain competitive, with the last-named perhaps fitter and now better equipped from the front this time. Cork winner Time Stands Still cannot be discounted despite a penalty but this might to go ENCANTADOR who made the best of her way home from an unpromising early position last time at Leopardstown to finish second. She has fair claims if Robbie Colgan can get her a prominent position.
