9/2 |
Karlsberg
Dual winner and likes an ease; failed to follow up a good reappearance run at Leopardstown last spring; down to a good mark now and can run well fresh; could contend even from a bad draw.

Kodiac Prince
Five-time winner; went up 13lb for two wins early last summer and lost his way completely after that; back down to a workable mark now but not much encouragement from his seasonal bow at Leopardstown.

Akmaam
Capable at his best although his win record is not stellar; fair run over 1m at Dundalk three weeks ago gives some cause for encouragement here.

Won over 1m1f at Tipperary a year ago; struggled for form afterwards and off since two runs at Dundalk in the autumn; others preferred.

Magic Charm
Enjoyed a good campaign last year, winning over 1m at the Curragh and started off the season well when third in a big field handicap at the same venue last month; could be better drawn but looks a leading contender off the same mark.

6/1 |
Relevant Range
Dundalk maiden winner but has failed to cut much ice in handicaps despite a falling mark; not beaten far in a pair of Dundalk handicaps last twice and down another 4lb; could be getting close to a competitive mark but has a bad draw to overcome.

Comfort Line
Five-time winner and effective on all surfaces, winning twice at Dundalk over the winter; solid effort in a 1m handicap there two weeks ago; 2lb lower on turf and certainly respected.

Kinda Tiny
Progressive last season, culminating with a win over 7f on heavy at Galway in October; 8lb higher here for her seasonal bow but looks one of the likelier ones to contend.

Pinball Wizard
Four-time winner and likes a sound surface; good effort in a 1m Dundalk handicap three weeks ago; poorly drawn but well capable of getting into the shake-up.

Toriangel
Sole win came on the AW; ended last season with a good fifth to Magic Charm at the Curragh; others preferred but enough there to give some encouragement.

Notforalongtime
Excellent servant to his trainer; landed a 7f claimer at Dundalk last month when last seen; rated 8lb inferior on turf and his bad draw could be negated by racing handily; respected.

Six career wins, most recently over 7f here in August; likely to improve though for whatever he does here.

Pascalia
Off the mark on AW debut in February over this trip but never really landed a blow at same track last month; drying ground in her favour back on turf but the worst of the draw is not.

Spring Collection
Lightly raced filly; narrowly failed to get up in a 7f Naas handicap last month; did not quite match that over this trip at Leopardstown; champion jockey booked here and should contend if handling the drying ground.

Swiss Army Officer
Three-time winner, including over C&D, and plenty of placed efforts; won first time out last season off a 6lb lower mark; not one to discount.
