9st 5lb

J: Shay Wallace

T: James M Barcoe

Won a 5f Cork handicap last season (good to yielding); okay run in same race last time when fourth; overall form this season has been underwhelming; down 2lb now.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: James M Barcoe

Won this race last year off the very same mark but, bar his second at Naas in May, he's not been so clever this season.

Has shown signs of a return to his best; backed up a second placing over 5f at Naas with a third over 5f at this venue, a showing that gives him an edge over Alfred Tennyson.

8st 9lb

J: Gavin Ryan

T: James M Barcoe

Three turf wins include one over C&D (yielding) off 5lb lower; sole win last year at Cork (5f, gd-yld) and was beaten just 0.5l off the same mark at Naas on latest (5f, good); raised 3lb for that and this is a deeper race.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

3-23, the last win coming off this mark at Cork last June (5f, gd-yld); low key start to this campaign and three previous runs here have not been his best; rider booking a positive.
