Won over this trip at Tipperary last May. Did not improve for a step up to 1m2f therefore he could be returning to his favoured distance here which puts him in with an each-way chance off this mark.
His sole win came over this distance at Limerick in 2017 when a surprise 50/1 winner. Has failed to impress on his two starts so far this year so others are to be favoured.
Broke her maiden at Laytown last September over 7f. Since then has recorded a couple of respectable outings on the all-weather. Eyesheild on for the first time here so one to watch.
Ran well on his seasonal reappearance at Naas last month when finishing fifth. Conditions should suit and he is stepping up in distance which will favour him. Strong each-way claims.
Broke her maiden on the all-weather in September 2017 but since then has struggled to transfer that form to turf. Needs to improve on what she has shown so far.
Won three consecutive races on the all-weather at the start of 2018 but since switching stables, the Approve filly has struggled for form. Her two starts this season has been poor so much more needed to be competitive at the very least.
Was a winner at Killarney last September over 1m but since then has not looked close to scoring. Dropping back down to 7f here but it would be a surprise if he was in the mix at the finish.
Veteran who is a winner of five races from his 44 runs so far in his career. Was second at Leopardstown over this trip last July. Since then his form has been poor. May go well fresh so does have each-way claims.
Has solid form on the all-weather over the winter but he has yet to reproduce those outings on turf so far in his career. Making his second start of the season so may come on for his Gowran Park outing last month.
Winner at Leopardstown over 1m2f last month but was beaten when going off as the favourite at Cork on her last start. She is now taking a big drop down in trip here but has run well at this distance in the past. A leading player.
Well-bred gelding whose sole win came on the all-weather at Dundalk last year. Was much better at Naas on his last start on turf which does offer some optimism so once to watch.
Has been disappointing in all three of his starts in 2019. Was second at Dundalk last year so is capable. All the signs this season though, suggest he may need more help off the handicapper to score.
Still looking for his maiden win and he came close to getting that at Killarney last September when second in a 1m handicap. Since then, he has run below form so has to bounce back on second run of season to be in mix.
A winner on the all-weather at Dundalk last month at this distance. His turf form has not matched his all-weather outings, however, latest success may just help his confidence and suggests he is in good form. Leading contender.
Makfi filly who started the season in perfection fashion with victory at Gowran Park last month over this distance. Was below best at Naas on her latest start but as long as she bounces back from that, she has strong each-way claims.
Well-bred filly who has yet to impress. in five starts Can't write her off just yer though, as it may just be taking her a while to shine. One to watch.
Course winner who has once again dropped down the weights so given a good chance by the handicapper if she can find some of her old form.
A winner at this distance at Leicester last July. His last three starts have been on the all-weather but a return to turf may help his chances but he does need to improve on his recent form.
Just the fourth start for this lightly raced filly. She is making her handicap debut and her yard are in great form. This is her first attempt at the 7f trip.
Unplaced in her nine racecourse starts so far. She is back down in trip here but needs to find a big improvement on what she has shown so far.
Red Jazz filly who is having her second attempt at this 7f trip. It is her handicap debut so watch out for any market support but she has shown little so far to suggests she should be considered here.
Moved to his new yard last year from Ireland but since then has done no better than sixth place at Fairyhouse in July. May need the run on his return to action.
Was fourth at Tipperary last August but since then has finished down the field in all of his five starts. Hard to make a case for.

Latchet looked in good form last time out when winning at Leopardstown and although she is dropping down significantly in trip, she is versatile enough to score at this distance. Silk Cravat will be the biggest danger as he improved recently to score to Dundalk.
