Little sign of ability in trio of maidens on varying ground earlier in the season and struggled off stiffish mark on handicap debut at the end of August; down a few pounds but she could still struggle in first-time cheekpieces.

Fairly consistent and looks very well handicapped based on her old form but needs to bounce back from poor run last time out at Cork at the start of the month.

Last win on turf came when in the care of trainer Mick Channon three years ago winning a Chester 5f handicap three years ago off a 29lb higher mark; no show on first run for new connections at Fairyhouse in September; unlikely winner.

Three career wins have all come this season, including a success at Bellewstown in July off today's mark. Beaten since but capable of bouncing back if in the mood and latest run was encouraging.

Had been in good form in handicaps, winning at Naas over 1m2f before running with credit next time at Killarney; needs to bounce back from two poor recent efforts but looks one of the more likely types in this contest.

Tricky gelding to catch right and put in his best recent effort three starts ago in big field contest at Cork; something to prove following two poor subsequent efforts but hard to rule out with confidence.

Lightly raced filly who has shown little or no signs of ability on her first three starts before putting up a much improved performance last time out in August at Roscommon; market moves would be interesting.

Six-race maiden, well held in all career starts including last time out when finishing down the field in a big field handicap at Cork; forlorn hope unless first-time cheekpieces spring him to life.

Ran well at Tipperary in April but struggled off higher mark on his last two runs; has been given a chance by the handicapper here and is a winner on heavy ground in the past so could spring a surprise.

Yet to win a race and while he has shown the occasional glimpses of ability can't be taken too seriously based on his latest two outings at Cork and Listowel.

Nicely bred handicap debutante but having not managed better than eighth in qualifiers she is probably best watched.

Slightly improved effort when last seen out in August but form previously had been poor and has plenty to prove.

Seems to have gone downhill since winning a Roscommon handicap earlier in the year; enjoys a soft surface and now handicapped on a similar mark to that win, she looks one of the more interesting candidates.

Has beaten home just three runners in her last three starts and difficult to a coherent case for the filly from 7lbs out of the handicap in spite of first-time blinkers.

Losing run stretches back to a win at Ayr in August 2017; bit of a mixed bag this term and although capable on his day may struggle being 3lb wrong at the weights.

Mixed messages in a number of starts over the summer. Not the most reliable of sorts who has never been the easiest to catch right and finished stone last on latest start at Dundalk last week.

Verdict

In a tricky race a slight chance is taken with OUR ANNIVERSARY. The mare is now down to near the mark she ran her best race earlier in the season at Tipperary and given the likely underfoot conditions, it is notable that she has won on testing ground in the past. Talk Now is another who is close to her last handicap winning mark and enjoys a soft surface. Millford Sound needs to bounce back from some below par performances but this trip in testing conditions could be right up his street.
