Three-time winner but unsuccessful in five runs since handicap victory last July. Sixth of 10 in a claimer at Fairyhouse (33/1) 13 days ago, showing late headway after racing off the pace. Headgear removed for today's step back up in trip.

Showed ability when 5th twice at Dundalk over winter but no win in 14 runs since June 2023. Finished 10th of 27 at Curragh (40/1) 37 days ago, probably needing the run. Returns with blinkers back on, which could spark improvement.

Got off the mark in a 7f handicap at Gowran Park in April and finished 2nd of 14 in a 7f handicap at Listowel (22/1) 10 days ago, making headway over 1f out and keeping on. Appears to have found his niche at this trip.

Won in Poland last October but recent form disappointing, finishing last of 14 in handicap at Killarney (33/1) 29 days ago and never in contention. On a tempting mark with Colin Keane up.

Maiden who has shown some ability with a 2nd in a claimer and 3rd in a handicap earlier this year. Fifth of 14 in a 7f handicap at Down Royal (6/1) 12 days ago, back on track with first-time cheekpieces, making headway on inner final furlong and kept on. Can go well.

Modest handicapper who ran best when 4th of 8 at Dundalk (AW) in March with first-time cheekpieces. Pulled up in 12-runner handicap at Gowran Park (22/1) 9 days ago when saddle slipped after 1f.

Second at Leopardstown (22/1) in April with front-running tactics. Finished sixth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (12/1) 10 days ago, showing some improvement but racing closer to the pace than ideal. May benefit from more patient tactics here. Wouldn't dismiss.

Struggled in three maiden races at Dundalk over winter. Finished 8th of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (50/1) 12 days ago, failing to settle fully in rear before making some progress 2f out. Needs to show more to be competitive at this level.

Operating below best in recent turf handicaps. Finished seventh of 18 at Fairyhouse (12/1) 5 days ago, taking keen hold and fading when short of room. Cheekpieces removed today and needs to rediscover earlier season form. Still seeking first win after 24 career starts.

Poor form in eight starts with no wins. Finished 12th of 14 in handicap at Fairyhouse (40/1) 13 days ago, going backwards from reappearance in first-time hood. Hood now removed but difficult to make a case.

Forecasts

Merchants Arch (4/1), Dinamine (9/2), In The Minus (5/1), Big Baby Bull (5/1), Browned Off (11/2), Rattletheonionbag (17/2), Jasmine Affanalis (10/1), Aisling Oscar (14/1), Sovereign Banter (18/1), Haeret In Pectore (28/1), Wayne R Walker (40/1), Esque Elegance (40/1), Romantic War (40/1), Shuyak (50/1), Eruption (80/1)

Verdict

DINAMINE has found his niche at this trip, winning at Gowran in April before a strong second at Listowel 10 days ago. Merchants Arch got back on track with cheekpieces last time and has a fair shout. Browned Off showed ability when second at Leopardstown and might have a small race like this in her.
