Onlymammycanloveme
Point winner; promise when third in a bumper; recent Clonmel maiden winner over 2m3f, showing a good attitude; opening marks seems fair but the drop to 2m might not be ideal.

The Dawn
Minor promise last season; came on from his reappearance at Limerick when third (beaten 8l) over an extended 2m4f at Fairyhouse; never far from the pace when second over this trip at Clonmel.

Second in a Roscommon maiden hurdle last June; moderate run on handicap debut; much better at Fairyhouse when second in a 2m4f contest; below that form on latest; may find this trip a bit sharp.

Glimpses of ability in bumpers, ordinary maiden hurdle form but may find his level in handicaps; tongue-tie added to hood but others preferred here.

Has reserved all her best form for this venue; won here last July and twice placed in August; unwise to rule out in the circumstances; should be better for a recent run.
