Sole win came over 7f here this time last year for Kevin Prendergast but her form went backwards subsequently. Has shown nothing in two starts this year for new yard and best watched in first-time hood.

Sole win from 19 starts came on the AW at Dundalk off a 4lb lower mark than this. Around that level the last twice over 7f and better suited by this step back up in trip. Should be competitive.

Just two wins from 36 starts and both came on very testing ground back in 2017. Off a much reduced mark nowadays. Has proved inconsistent since and although a solid third latest, would prefer plenty of rain.

Remains a six-race maiden and has failed to build on his promising debut over 7f here, which remains his career best. Bit better last start following a poor reappearance but plenty more required to be involved.

Displayed improved form this year with a second followed by a first success over this trip at Naas in April. Raised 5lb but simply failed to stay over 1m4.5f at Tipperary last time. Has more to offer back in trip and down 1lb and could bounce back.

Daughter of Fastnet Rock has been generally unfancied and while not disgraced in midfield at Leopardstown latest, needs plenty more to get into the money. Likely best watched unless significant support for this stable.

Six-race maiden showed improved form when second on reappearance at the Curragh over 7f in May. Below that at the same course when upped to this trip last time and didn't seem to see it out. Chances but may be better when dropped back in trip.

Without a win in seven starts but ran a career best fourth over this C&D back in May. A reproduction of that would see her go close off 2lb lower but very poor the last twice and questions to answer now.

Has looked close to a breakthrough on his last three when finishing runner-up each time, including behind Reverberation and Miracles In May. Highly likely to go close again off this mark although concern he displayed a high head carriage last time.

Sole win came on stable debut last August and now 9lb lower. Form has been regressive since and three starts this year have been very poor. Remains one to watch.

11-race maiden showed signs of promise last year in six starts for previous stable but has been really struggling in five runs this time around for her new stable. Hard to fancy at present.

Sole win came for 18 starts Ed Walker back in 2015 but has largely struggled since. Joined a strong yard but no signs of a revival in three starts as of yet. Hard to make a case for.

11-race maiden needs to step on two eighth placed finishes over sprint distances this year and now takes a leap into the dark over this distance. Others readily preferred. Declared Limerick on Saturday.

Won over 7f on the AW at Dundalk in November last year but has been woefully out of form in three runs this time around. Has switched stables since but plenty of questions to answer now.

Remains a 13-race maiden and just a couple of decent efforts to date. On a very poor run of form since last September and little signs of encouragement. First Reserve.

Verdict

Reverberation comes here in form and is well suited by this step back up to his optimum trip. MIRACLES IN MAY took a sharp step up in distance last time and while it didn't work out, he could easily kick on again back at this trip. Doogan's Warren continues to go close and is likely to be involved again but his head carriage remains a worry for win purposes.
