Rated 67 when second in a soft-ground C&D maiden at two, BEANO POWER gets the vote to exploit a current mark of 53 after a good AW run that gives her a slight edge over My Girl Sioux, a consistent Dundalk performer during the winter. Recent winners Aurora Nova and Step Back In Time could feature, and Twotolose has each-way claims. [Alan Sweetman]

Still a bit green and unlucky in running when coming home well to be a close third in a C&D maiden last October; relatively unexposed, now hooded; could go well with 7lb claimed.
Nine-time winner; well below best on last two Dundalk outings before returning to form with a long-priced fourth at the Curragh; no match for an easy winner at Naas, but had a few of these rivals behind, including subsequent winner Step Back In Time.
Needed the run after a break when last of 11 at Dundalk in February; much more like it when running well for a different 7lb claimer at the Curragh two weeks ago; this easier ground may not be ideal
Won over 6f at Fairyhouse last summer for which she got a big hike which anchored her in four subsequent starts; recovered from a slow start to win over this trip at Bellewstown on seasonal debut; slower ground might not bring out the best in her.
Four AW wins; 2-13 on turf; not in the best form over the winter at Dundalk; has produced two better displays since down the field behind Velvet Skies on AW.
Looked unsuited by the Bellewstown track when fifth behind Aurora Nova on return from a break; finished behind Beano Power and My Girl Sioux at Dundalk; seems best on good going.
Went very close at Dundalk last time and has a slight edge over My Girl Sioux on that running; has run well over C&D on soft, each-way chance with the capable Sorcha Woods taking off 7lb.
2-33 on turf; not one of his better efforts at Bellewstown on his seasonal debut; should be sharper now and has the merit of being a C&D winner on soft.
Soundly beaten in three maiden; outran 100-1 odds when third over 7f on handicap debut at Galway last October; 5f may be inadequate but of some interest here with her new trainer putting up a good 7lb claimer.
