Won three over hurdles in 2016 for JJ Hanlon and shed Flat maiden in good style in a 1m6f handicap at Gowran two starts back. Upped 13lb but still odds-on next he was just touched off in a 1m5f Navan handicap. Every chance he improves further.
Limerick maiden hurdle winner in 2017 made little impression in three maidens on the Flat to date including last two runs. Goes into handicap now but opening mark looks plenty high enough.
Improved effort first time out this season in a maiden and built on that when second in first handicap over 1m3½f at Limerick on soft ground. Must show he's as effective on quicker ground but no reason he can't so merits respect here.
Much improved on two pretty woeful efforts latest albeit only enough for a midfield effort. Handicaps offer her more chance but opening mark looks pretty harsh.
Showed little in maidens last year and beaten 25L when 11th of 13 on return over 1m2f latest. Like many in their first handicaps today his mark seems high enough.
Has won off higher marks albeit in the quite distant past. Only 3lb higher than Roscommon win last August now but had a break after three non-descript hurdle races last winter so probably best watched.
Showed very little in five maidens before recent handicap bow at Cork saw some promise when a keeping on seventh of 10 over 1m2f. Longer trip now expected to help so perhaps can make the frame.
Almost two years since this five-time winner's last score but latest staying on fourth of 20 over 1m5f at Navan on return when given plenty to do was encouraging. Should come on for that and expected to be thereabouts now.
Rather unsurprisingly given his yard he's developed into a smart hurdler but before that was competitive at this sort of level on the Flat including a win over 1m7f at Leopardstown. Top jockey a signal of intent and highly respected.
Hurdle winner/novice chaser made a rare flat foray when fourth of 12 over 1m4f at Dundalk in May. This looks a deeper contest however and from an un-ideal draw others appeal more.
Hasn't won since June 2017 and form has become very inconsistent of late. Last of 14 when most recently seen in January at Dundalk an effort which is hard to ignore.
Returned from 19-months off to gain first ever Flat success (three-time hurdle winner) latest in a 1m3½f Limerick handicap. 7lb higher now but obviously highly unexposed at present and has to be respected here.
Daughter of Power remains a maiden and has failed to get anywhere near a win in seven starts to date wither has last of 21 latest further alarming form.
Has not made much of an impression in five starts over a variety of distances. Looked one paced at Gowran latest over 1m and interesting to see if extra 4½f can help a little.
20/1 Galway success last October (1m4f, soft) rather came out of the blue but subsequent fourth at Dundalk backed that form up. Shade disappointing at Southwell latest but not all runners handle that surface. Minor place possibilities.
Mare with a poor 2-45 record on the Flat. Only beat two home on return to the level so hard to fancy here.
Dual hurdles scorer been in good form this spring. Still a maiden on the flat but fourth of 14 over 1m3½f at Limerick in April showed he can be competitive in this sort of race. 3lb ease also an aid and this jockey excellent value for 7lb.

There are plenty with likable profiles here but none more so than recent Gowran winner/Navan second LINGER who could still remain ahead of the handicapper in just his third start for this Joseph O'Brien. In a race where top jumps yards could dominate recent Limerick winner Walkabout and Willie Mullins useful hurdler Eight And Bob rate the biggest dangers.
