Steps In The Sand
Won back to back races last July, including over C&D; raised a cumulative total of 13lb for those victories and remains 2lb above her last win; hasn't shown enough in two runs for this yard since returning from five months off to make her of interest here.

The Striker Dylan
Nine race maiden but has been knocking on the door in recent starts at 2m1f to 2m7f on good and yielding ground; beaten 5l into second of 11 at Killarney latest off 95; up 2lb for that but should continue to give a good account.

Evans Secret
Dual-purpose maiden is 0-8 over timber; went close at Ballinrobe (2m6f) and Roscommon (3m) last May-June in this headgear combination; should strip fitter for his last run when a respectable fifth at Ballinrobe; not without a chance with the blinkers back on for local yard.

Smackwater Jack
1-17 over hurdles, the win coming back in 2019 for Olly Murphy; best effort yet for current yard on latest, a neck second of 16 at Gowran (2m4f, soft) 66 days ago; different ground to contend with here, obvious chance off 1lb higher if handling it.

True Destiny
Dual-purpose veteran has won eight races, two of them over C&D; good effort latest at Naas when not quite getting home over 3m; is now 4lb below his last C&D win and he acts on good ground; thereabouts with the cheekpieces back on (went close in them here in October).

Divilabother
0-11 but has run well in defeat in five of his last seven starts including two solid efforts at this venue; found just one too good after a 169 day break when a 2.5l second of 10 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) last time; nudged up 4lb, which seems harsh, but should go well again.

Dunany Point
Off the mark in fine style when making all off 81 at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) last month; up 7lb and likely to make another bold bid from the front; should be on the premises.

Mighty Soldier
0-7 over hurdles; best effort a 10.5l third of 17 on heavy over 19.5f at Punchestown in January; faded over 2m6f when ridden positively last time; needs more.

Evies Court
Long odds for all six starts and has failed to trouble the judge; beaten 83l in sole handicap start at Bellewstown; another heavy defeat back in a maiden latest; hard to fancy.

Ben Purple
Has failed to complete four of his six starts, including when refusing to race in a Roscommon bumper last August; reluctant at the start again when pulled up on handicap debut latest; a risky proposition.

Cois Fharraige
Showed very little in six starts for Norman Lee last year, including in two handicaps; probably best watched on first run for new yard after a 246 day absence unless the market speaks.

Mr Mcwhinny
0-9 over hurdles; standout effort came when a 7.5l second of 16 at Fairyhouse (3m, good) in November off 88; failed to back that up in three runs since and was beaten 44l at Ballinrobe on latest last month; down another 3lb but others appeal more.

Restless Son
0-9 over hurdles; posted best effort to date on latest when an 8l fourth of 14 at Kilbeggan (2m2f, gd-yld); down 1lb for that but didn't shape like he was crying out for this longer trip; others have more pressing claims.

Cornmarket
Dual-purpose maiden is 0-12 over hurdles; best efforts for former yard on testing ground; pulled up when last seen in January at Naas; best watched on first start for new stable.

Long odds and didn't show a whole lot in maidens; may find his level now handicapping off basement mark; worth a market check.

Manhattan Brook
Looked of little account in first seven starts but much improved performance when an 11l fourth of 16 off this mark at Kilbeggan (24.5f, yielding) last time; the drop back to 2m4f is a plus on that evidence; each way claims.

Klassman
First reserve; 0-14 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; only beaten 2l when third of 15 at Ballinrobe on penultimate; yielding ground and 3m trip to blame for latest; could go well if getting a run.

Run Away Merida
Second reserve; long odds and never figured in four maiden hurdles at 2m-17.5f; not obviously well treated on handicap debut; watch.
