Lightly-raced maiden who finished a respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago. Needs to step up on that now.

Fairly useful gelding. Two all-weather wins at Dundalk this year. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Considered.

Unreliable C&D winner. Went close in Navan handicap last month but merely underlined inconsistency when down the field at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Blinkers back on.
