7/1

Bounced back to best when winning 1½m claimer at Tramore in July and good second in a similar race at Killarney (1m, good) next time. Quickly back to form when third of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (1¼m, heavy, 12/1) 12 days ago. A repeat of that should see her competitive.

33/1

Dual winner on all-weather in the UK. Hasn't kicked on from her win at Leopardstown in April, though shaped as back in form after a very slow break when fifth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Issues at the stalls have to be a concern again.

7/1

Latest win at Roscommon in May. Lower in the weights on all-weather and ran well after some low-key turf efforts when third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 21 days ago. Enters calculations.

4/1

Improved in first-time cheekpieces when second of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (11f, good to soft, 18/1) 11 days ago. Bumped into a progressive rival there and he can go well again after 2 lb rise.

5/1

Shaped quite well when eighth of 12 in handicap at Navan (1m) but failed to build on that promise when mid-field over 1¼m there last month. Makes polytrack debut.

20/1

Made the frame for just the second time when fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (1½m, 100/1) 14 days ago but will probably need more again if she's to go closer here.

Forecasts

Aiteall (4/1), Kingcharles (5/1), Storm Eric (6/1), Jazz Forever (6/1), Doctor Grace (7/1), Timandi (7/1), Thompson Gunner (8/1), Captain Hanley (8/1), Banshof (12/1), Colugo (12/1), Zitkala Sa (20/1), Star Mind (33/1), Ventriloquist (33/1), Barretstown (40/1), Onyeisi (50/1), Master Garvey (50/1), Ebony Reign (100/1)

AITEALL is less exposed than most of these and Joseph O'Brien's 3-y-o can go one better than he did at Down Royal 11 days ago. The consistent Storm Eric and recent C&D runner-up Jazz Forever are also shortlisted.
