Lyle The Crocodile
Fared well on his handicap debut last month when just fading late over C&D; was a tad unfortunate here over 6f last time as he fly leapt from the stalls and didn't get a clear run at the furlong pole when fifth behind Movin And Groovin; definite contender but tough draw.

Brigid's Cloak
Low-key efforts in maidens before 9l defeat on handicap debut; struggled on heavy in Roscommon maiden next time; career-best on AW debut when a close fourth of 14 over C&D in October, short of room late on; each-way player after a break.

Alishba
Showed speed on debut but only beat two rivals home in three starts for Johnny Murtagh; subsequently purchased for 2,000euros by Brian Cawley; hard to fancy on handicap debut.

Tailed off when sent off at huge prices in three maidens thus far; half-brother to a 5f AW winner but readily passed over on handicap debut; gelded.

Best effort came on second nursery start when running on well into fourth over C&D last month; behind some of these over 1m latest; more needed.

Struggled in opening handicap runs at Bellewstown and Galway when never landing a blow; better effort here over 1m latest but the drop in trip isn't sure to suit.

Eric Lock
Respectable fourth over the minimum at Down Royal in September but failed to back that up when tailed off over C&D (admittedly from a tough draw) four days later; the trip would have to be a concern.

Movin And Groovin
Consistent sort got off the mark here over 6f this month, making all; ran well under a 7lb penalty when third here over 1m four days later; looks sure to give another good account.

Senior Montecristo
Maiden has run well on three of his four starts at this venue, including when runner-up here over 1m latest, finishing ahead of some of these; the winner Lost President won again on Monday; pulled hard on that occasion but was only passed inside the final furlong; big player back at 7f.

Hooz In Court
Stepped up to 1m to good effect when fourth in a nursery here in November; the drop back to 6f didn't suit when last seen; others are more likely but the extra furlong will be a help.

Well beaten in some good-class maidens; failed to get involved in a trio of handicaps to date and another minor role awaits.

Roaming Eyes
Was gradually improving since switching to handicaps but finished last of 13 on her AW debut over C&D in November from a poor draw; handicapper has taken a chance dropping her 13lb; hood goes back on.

Hi George
Cheap purchase has beaten a total of three rivals in four career outings; makes no appeal on his handicap debut; tongue-tied.

Well beaten in a pair of 6f nurseries around here and no better when upped to 1m latest; can safely rule out.

First reserve; consistent enough sort wasn't beaten far here last two outings; respected if he gets a run; cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Third reserve; tapped for toe over 5f latest but overall profile fails to enthuse; others more likely.
