Won here over 6f last summer off 56, later adding Curragh win off 66; looked to be returning to form at Listowel six days ago.

Surpass And Shine
Went close last season over 7f at Leopardstown and Cork; coped well with drop back to 5f to open account last month when well-backed at Naas, making all in holding market rival Irish Rumour by a head; 2lb worse off with that rival here but stiffer finish and low draw should suit.

Irish Rumour
C&D winner last September off 62 and best run since on latest when strong-finishing head off market rival Surpass And Shine at Naas last month; 2lb better off so every chance.

Nouvel Espoir
Speedy 5yo whose two wins include over C&D over a year ago; some late headway on seasonal return at the Curragh on Wednesday so don't rule out with 10lb claimed.

Recent Down Royal fourth a definite step in the right direction but Billy Lee deserts her for Surpass And Shine.

My Girl Sioux
Heavily-raced mare is now 1-48 but has been in good form of late in a busy campaign, including third to Surpass And Shine at Naas and second here over 6f; recent Tipperary run solid too and place claims again.

Beano Power
Improving 4yo filly got off the mark on turf return over C&D in April and decent efforts twice since, latest when getting up late for second at Tipperary; return to this stiffer track should suit and one for the shortlist although ideally wants it softer.

Inishmot Prince
Nine-time AW winner whose sole turf win came over C&D last September off 65; yet to hit form on turf this campaign but handicapper giving him every chance (19lb below AW mark).

Dual C&D winner in the past for previous yard, including off 76; two wins last autumn off much reduced mark and expected to come on for last month's comeback run and yard debut.

An Laochmor
Eight-race maiden but has been running well in handicaps of late, including C&D fourth to Beano Power; blinkers replace visor here and each-way claims.

Realtin Fantasy
Hard to win with but has run well over C&D, including behind Irish Rumour in September; no show on recent Cork comeback and others preferred.

Stanhope
Likeable veteran loves it here, evidenced by his four course wins; two solid runs here over 6f this term so entitled to be in the mix again; 1lb wrong but rider claims 5lb.

Step Back In Time
Beat Stanhope over 6f here in April and just okay efforts twice since, latest behind Surpass And Shine at Naas; bit to find and 1lb wrong; due to run at Fairyhouse yesterday (6.25).

Whatswrongnow
Maiden took a big step in the right direction when a staying-on third over 5f at Cork last month but unable to reproduce that form over 6f at Fairyhouse nine days later; 6lb wrong here so tough task.

Dark Enigma
Went close over 5f at Down Royal a year ago but nothing of note this year; new headgear combination tried but has it all to do from 8lb out of the handicap.
