Wasdell Dundalk
Has won four 3m handicaps over fences here on ground ranging from good to heavy; won twice over fences on the better ground in the autumn and was a fair second at Ayr when last seen out in January (3m, soft); pulled up in bad ground on latest hurdle run; others preferred.

Park Annonciade
Won a 2m novice here in August 2023; mixed form over hurdles/fences last season and below par on last two starts, latest at Ayr last month (3m, good to soft); 2m4f on good ground perhaps ideal, though.

Artic Row
Last three wins have been in 2m4f handicap chases at Ayr, although won a 2m Ayr novice handicap over hurdles in March 2023 (good); hasn't been in top form over fences on last three starts and probably best watched this time.

Won a 2m maiden here and a 1m7f novice at Musselburgh in 2023; bit disappointing in handicaps at up to 3m last season but well handicapped as a result.
