If The Real Screamer can reproduce much-improved Dundalk form, he could be hard to beat. However, that could not be guaranteed and a hopeful each-way vote goes to GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL whose trainer Harry Rogers has his team in good form. Zipster did well at Leopardstown after a slow start and is a possible danger. Thatwilldoso and Bringsty make most appeal of the recent winners. [Alan Sweetman]

Placed over 1m4f on AW in Kempton maiden and Wolverhampton novice; ran poorly at Newbury on only turf start; has been gelded; worth a precautionary look in the market.
Won a 1m Yarmouth handicap on good for the Crisfords last May; scored again at Southwell in August; poor effort on debut for Ger O'Leary at Dundalk but was slowly away and may have needed the run; again started slowly at Leopardstown, did well in the circumstances; live chance now with Nicola Burns claiming a valuable 7lb.
Won three times for this rider last season; handled an ease when scoring over this trip on her final start, beating today's rival Gotta Catech'em All, respected.
Showed the benefit of a Dundalk win when scoring at Gowran, his first success since May 2023 and fifth in all; has to deal with 8lb rise, same 7lb claimer rides.
Left her handicap debut behind at Killarney when signing off last season with a narrow defeat at the Curragh; maintained progress with Gowran win on return; 11lb higher now, same 5lb claimer aboard.
Arrives bidding for a hat-trick after back-to-back wins over Dundalk's extended 1m2f late last year; may improve on previous turf form, and definitely needs to, since his best placing was when seventh of 16 over C&D.
Three-time winner is suited by soft ground; should be better for Leopardstown run and was not beaten far; has to reverse form with fifth-placed Zipster.
Maiden put in a bright display over 1m at the Curragh; trainer has his team in good shape and this longer trip and the addition of a tongue-tie; good each-claims.
Wins have come on AW, Laytown and on quick ground on turf, going here may be too slow; disappointing at Laytown on final start before joining this yard.
Unplaced favourite at Dundalk recently; better judged on her previous Bellewstown second and the fact that her sole turf win was gained over C&D last summer.
Won three times over 1m in 2023 for his previous trainer; unplaced in light 2024 campaign; plenty to prove as a result, though one of his two C&D runs was respectable.
