121-rated handicap hurdler for trainer Willie Mullins. Last seen winning a Killarney 2m1f handicap last July off an 8lb lower mark. Capable of a bold bid if settled into his new surroundings.

Landed a double on the Flat at Ballinrobe and Tramore over 2m off a 3lb lower mark last summer. Beaten since including when last seen over 1m6f in a Gowran Park handicap on heavy ground. May need the run on comeback.

Failed to make a mark for trainer David Menuisier before joining current connections. Ran well in defeat earlier this month behind Oromo at this venue over 1m4f. Handicapper may have give her the chance to hit the frame once again.

Nine-race maiden who has mainly been seen over hurdles for current connections. Last run on the Flat came at the Galway festival two years ago. Faces a tough ask on return to action.

Modest form over hurdles towards the end of last year. Well held in a dismal effort on the AW at Dundalk when last seen in March. Plenty more needed in this group.

Off the mark for connections at the 13th time of asking on his 11th start on turf when landing a 1m4f handicap at this venue earlier this month off a 4lb lower mark. Big danger quickly turned out again.

Long-standing maiden on the Flat of 30 starts who is yet to claim a minor honour in seven starts on turf. Winner of a 2m3f maiden hurdle on latest start at Down Royal in March. Caution advised on return to the Flat.

Lightly-raced maiden, yet to score in five starts including a couple of spins on turf at Bellewstown on debut last year and on return to action at this track over 1m4f earlier this month to finish 4L adrift of Oromo. Shortlisted.

Nine-race maiden, yet to hit the frame in six starts on turf. Form for most of last term and on AW appearance at Dundalk in February is unlikely to be good enough in this contest.

Verdict

The Tom McCourt-trained DE MAZZARO has a win and a place to his name at this venue from five visits. The six-year-old can follow-up his win here over 1m4f earlier this month off a 4lb lower mark at the expense of the Tony Mullins-trained Milford Sound who ran Oromo to 1½L at this track over 1m4f earlier this month and can run another big race now 2lb lower than last winning mark. Place Des Vosages for trainer Mark Fahey and the Jim Bolger-trained Paistiul look capable of hitting the frame.
