Dunum
Useful handicapper at 7f-1m1f; promoted to three-figure rating after Galway festival win in 2023; beaten 1l into third in same Galway handicap off 101 last season; unplaced in three attempts in stakes races; faded tamely in 7f Listed race at Cork on final start last season; acts on most types of ground.

The Liffey
Ex-Ballydoyle; winner of a 6f conditions race at the Curragh on only start at two; ran only twice at three last year; got upset in the stalls in an early-season Group 3 race at Leopardstown; much more like it when making most to win over 1m at Listowel last June; absent since; gelded and has joined Joseph O'Brien.

Tina's Indian
Winner of a 6f Curragh maiden on debut last September, justifying favouritism in beating two 73-rated rivals with plenty to spare; got upset in the stalls at Tipperary last month and failed to make a significant impact; probably capable of much better.

Dance Night Andday
Four-time winner; scored narrowly in a 7f premier handicap at Leopardstown last September off 93; has run in five stakes races, by far her best effort when second in a 7f Listed race at Cork last August; fourth of seven under a big weight in a Cork handicap on reappearance.

Elinor Dashwood
Progressive last season; rated a relatively modest 75 when winning a 7f handicap at Gowran in June; ended the season on 93 based on form that featured a close fourth in a 6f Listed race at the Curragh; set ambitious task in both starts this term, same again here.

Mataariki
Tried in good company after debut maiden win over 1m on soft going at Gowran early last season; best run when third behind the smart Big Gossey over 7f at the Curragh in November; handled heavy ground when making all for a handicap win over 7f at Gowran last month on seasonal debut; may find this ground too quick.

One Smack Mac
Rated 97; sole win from five starts on debut in a 6f maiden at this venue; second in a 6f Listed race at Fairyhouse last September; ground and 1m not ideal on his seasonal reappearance at this venue; fair third over 6f at Cork six weeks ago.

Unique Journey
Placed in his first three handicap starts after showing little in maidens; looked progressive in winning readily over 6f here last month on his second outing this term; promoted 13lb to 87 but will need another career-best to feature in this grade.

Copacabana Sands
Showed ability for Diego Dias last season; promising second in a 7f Curragh maiden on stable/seasonal debut; built on that with encouraging fifth in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown; met trouble in running, and her performance can be upgraded.

Spicy Margarita
Useful AW form; much-improved when strong-finishing fourth in 1m Group 3 Park Express Stakes at the Curragh last month; has failed to stay in two 1m2f attempts, including on latest; Dundalk win was over this trip.
