Regular visitor to Dundalk on the AW running with distinction since the turn of the year, winning on a couple of occasions. Yet to hit those heights on turf in 10 starts. One for any shortlist.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J M Sheridan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 60| C

13/2

Plying her trade on the AW at Dundalk without success in a number of starts over the winter. Two from 13 Flat starts on turf for the experienced No Nay Never filly. Likely to appreciate the return to this surface.

Scream^t⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: W J Lee| T: D P Nagle| OR: 60| D

33/1

Winner of two of her 21 career starts both on the AW at Dundalk and a turf success at Bellewstown over 1m off a 14lb higher mark, albeit two years ago. Handicap mark continues to fall but hard to be confident on return to action.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Gary Halpin| T: J Geoghegan| OR: 57| D

15/2

Four from 42 career start but is yet to chalk a win on turf from 22 starts. Running well in defeat in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk over the winter. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 980-345

4/1

Won for the second time in his career when landing a 7f handicap on the AW at Dundalk in March off a 4lb higher mark. One of a number of viable combatants in this contest.

12/1

Winner and running a number of solid races on the AW at Dundalk but the gelding is yet to hit the frame in five starts on turf. Unlikely to be troubling the judge in this company.

17/2

Out of luck at Dundalk on the AW in a number of starts between October and December last year. One from 16 starts on turf, well held at the Curragh over a similar trip in September. Not in the form required to play a part.

Gormanston⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Robbie Colgan| T: N Slevin| OR: 52

17/2

Three-race maiden on turf. Well beaten at odds of 50/1 and 100/1 last summer, running accordingly on each occasion. Third of 14 at Dundalk on the AW when last seen in March but more improvement needed here.

Form: 000-3

Upwey²³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M A Gallagher| T: Mrs P Dobbs| OR: 52

66/1

Well beaten on debut and barely shown anything more in three efforts in claiming company on the AW at Dundalk between September/October last year. not the most reliable of sorts and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 0070-

Out On Friday²⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Vanessa Maye⁽⁷⁾| T: P Byrne| OR: 51| BF

10/1

10-race maiden on turf. Running with credit in a couple of starts between July and September last term before disappointing at the Curragh nine months ago. Improvement required.

Above Us Only Sky⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: S F Magee| OR: 50

11/2

Long standing maiden of 29 career starts including 14 efforts on turf where the Dark Angel mare has only hit the frame on three occasions. Encouraging signs in a couple of starts on the AW at Dundalk in March but more needed back on turf.

Form: 2538-25

Very Smart^p1,h²³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: G B Caldwell| OR: 49| D

22/1

Two from 12 on turf, last win coming in a Down Royal handicap over a similar trip in July last year off a 2lb higher mark. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

14/1

TRUEBA won for the second time in his career when landing a 7f handicap on the AW at Dundalk in March off a 4lb higher mark and can continue his progression in this contest on return to action. The four-year-old can take advantage of the light rise in the weights to hold off the attentions of his nearest pursuers in the shape of the solid and consistent Mulzamm for trainer Denis Hogan and Silk Cravat, who has been running well in defeat in a number of starts on the AW at Dundalk over the winter. The Charles O'Brien-trained Rain Or Shine and Very Smart in first time cheekpieces can compete for remaining prize money.
