Nans View
Won back to back races last October, off 64 at the Curragh (1m2f, yielding) and then off 71 at Galway (1m4f, heavy); may have needed her moderate comeback effort but she probably wants softer ground than she'll encounter here.

Action Plan
Dual-purpose; won over 1m at Gowran last April on yielding off 73 and went close in a conditions race over 10.5f here on soft the following month; got an 8lb for that and still remains 5lb above his last win; unraced at this trip but should stay and acts on good ground; place chance.

Ozark Daze
Failed to win in eleven starts for Andy Oliver; low-key start for this yard at Leopardstown in April but better effort in a 9.5f Ballinrobe maiden (good) ten days ago; on a career low mark now but has to prove he stays this far.

Ragmans Corner
Dual-purpose; won a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in January but pulled up and had blood at his nostril when last seen in that sphere at Naas in February; off since and now makes Flat handicap debut; ran well at this trip in a maiden at Galway last summer but may need this run.

Matt Connor
Two-time turf winner, the wins coming back to back in April-June 2023 for Henry De Bromhead; has failed to fire in four runs for current yard; is well-handicapped now (6lb below last win) but hasn't shown enough in recent starts.

Preparations
Dual-purpose; won a Limerick maiden hurdle (2m, good) in April but struggled on testing ground in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 latest; won her last start in this sphere at Bellewstown (1m4f, yielding) in October off 64; 6lb higher now but there could be more to come; claims.

Solar Drive
Dual-purpose; 2-6 on turf on the Flat, both wins coming over 1m4f under this rider at Cork off 50 (soft) and off 64 (good) last season; pleasing return to the level at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) ten days ago after a spell over timber; just 3lb above last win now and trip and ground fine; chance.

Gotta Catch'em All
Eleven-race maiden but has run well in defeat; in good form last October, placed at Bellewstown (1m4f) and the Curragh (1m2f) on yielding and also at Navan (10.5f) on good; ground may have been too soft last two starts; each way chance back on a sounder surface.

Out On Friday
Seven-time winner, including three at 1m4f on good ground; course winner over 10.5f (good) off 68 last July under customary positive ride; 6lb lower now and may have needed his last couple of runs on ground softer than ideal; drawn to attack and could make a bold bid.
