J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Progressive in handicaps last season but took his form to a new level when getting the better of a stablemate in a Group 3 at the Curragh (1m2f, soft) last month; may yet be capable of even better, but he could do with some rain.

Three-time winner, progressive in handicaps last season; unplaced in a race won by stablemate Beset on his only stakes race attempt; plenty to prove as a result.

One of four for yard; progressive in handicaps last season, winning three of his last four; commanding win at Listowel in September off 90 (1m3f, heavy); folded tamely when sent off favourite for 1m4f Listed event here in November; will need to be in top order to defy 12lb higher mark on return.

One of six for yard; progressive in handicaps, winning three of her last four; commanding win off 90 at Listowel on latest (1m3f, heavy); conditions fine here and well worth a go at this level; claims.

Made immediate impact upon stepping into handicap company when winning at Gowran in June (9.5f, soft) before following up at Roscommon (10.5f, yielding); unaffected by step up in trip at Galway last time when just defeated by a neck (12.5f, yielding); however, the form of that race looks shaky now.
