Drops in grade having not been disgraced when mid-field in a Dundalk handicap in March, but it's been a while since he's shown any worthwhile form on turf.

Poor maiden on the Flat and fared little better over hurdles last summer. Returns in a tongue strap for this handicap debut.

Back on track when third of 13 in a handicap at Gowran last time. Visor now refitted (1-1) as she bids to repeat last year's win in this race, though is much higher in the weights this time around.

Fair hurdler proved a let-down on return to the Flat at Dundalk in late-March, though is worth a go in first-time cheekpieces.

Doesn't look the easiest to train, having tailed off on stable debut at Navan last time, and she returns in a first-time hood (with tongue strap back on) for this marked step up in trip.

Consistent sort won a similar event at Down Royal last summer and should go well here, having been given a considerate return over hurdles last time.

Ran poorly at Dundalk in January and his record for current connections is hardly inspiring.

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark to snap a losing streak of almost 2 years at Dundalk (2m) in March and having found the quick turnaround against him back on turf at Bellewstown on latest start,…

Fourth in this race last year and looks interesting returning off a 3 lb lower mark, having shaped as if back in form over hurdles at Down Royal on her latest start.

Veteran hasn't shown much in a pair of starts over jumps for new yard, though this previous C&D winner cannot be discounted if rediscovering his Flat form from last summer. Cheekpieces replace visor.

Little show on Flat for previous connections but now goes handicapping and looks potentially well treated on hurdles form, all 3 wins having come at this track.

Well held on final start for Mrs Lorna Fowler at Dundalk last October and has stamina to prove over a significantly longer trip on stable debut.

Shaped better than the result when fourth in a Down Royal chase (3¼m) last time, though his record on the Flat leaves plenty to be desired.

Has shown little at long odds in maidens, though is bred to stay well, and appeals as the type to do better now handicapping. RESERVE.

In fine heart on the Flat, finishing fifth of 16 in a handicap at Limerick last time, and he's entitled to go close if racing more efficiently. RESERVE.
