14/1

Course winner. Won 10-runner claimer at Laytown (7f) 11 days ago, leading close home. However, that was his first win for almost 2 years and not an obvious follow-up candidate back in handicap.

Won 6-runner minor event (7/1) at Laytown (7f, good) 11 days ago, doing well to repel runner-up's persistent challenge. However, no sure thing to be in same form here.

7/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. 4/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 14 in handicap at this course (1m) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Fancied to be in the mix again.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Gary Halpin| T: K Prendergast| OR: 49

33/1

Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in July, awkward leaving stalls and always behind. Now operating from a career-low mark if a break has perked her up.

25/1

Twelfth of 16 in handicap at Galway (12.2f, good, 80/1) 66 days ago, beaten when hampered early in the straight. Hard to make a case for.

11/1

First run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini when ninth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this course (12f) 16 days ago. Fancied to come on for that run and not dismissed from easing mark.

Form: 005249

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M A Gallagher| T: D Cullen| OR: 46

40/1

Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 66/1) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and more needed if he's to shed maiden tag here.

Pro Bono (11/10), Boasty (7/2), Lily Of The Glen (11/1), Maricruz (11/1), Limit Long (14/1), Able Jack (14/1), Born Leader (14/1), Dr Patrick (25/1), Batalha (25/1), Molly Grue (25/1), Erytheia (33/1), Wrapitup (40/1), Barretstown (40/1), Riliya (40/1), Fulbright Scholar (150/1)

PRO BONO is lightly raced as a 6-y-o and showed improved form to shed the maiden tag in a C&D handicap 9 days ago, picking up well to get on top near the line. He earns the vote to follow up, with Boasty and Lily of The Glen a couple of others to consider.
