Burren Song
Three of his four wins were gained early in the 2023 season; on a long losing sequence now; not a bad effort when fifth of 14 at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) last month; new headgear combination now.

Granite Bay
Improved sort last year, winning three times including over this trip at Listowel (yielding) final start; 3lb higher on return but further progress is feasible; handles any ground.

Last Ammo
Sole turf win came in 2m Galway handicap in 2023 off 5lb lower; despite finishing midfield, ran no race on debut for this yard over this trip at the Curragh 13 days ago; more needed.

Nans View
Won back-to-back races last October, off 64 at the Curragh (1m2f, yielding) and off 71 at Galway (1m4f, heavy); needed the run on return but will probably want the ground to be as soft as possible.

Razdan
Dual-purpose winner goes on any ground; has run respectably in stronger races at Cork this season; 4lb out of the handicap last time, harmed his chance by starting slowly and racing keenly, but stayed on well near the finish for third; strong contender in this grade.

Dual-purpose; won over 2m at Chester last June off 76 (soft); no impact in four starts (Flat/hurdles) since; may need a bit more respite from the handicapper on his return.

Sign From Above
Three-time Flat winner up to 2m has also won over hurdles; eyecatching effort when never-nearer sixth of 20 over this trip at the Curragh (good) 13 days ago; on the shortlist from 1lb higher.

Palamon
Fair hurdler was fit from that sphere when second to Grappa Nonino in 2m AW handicap in March; made good late headway when third at Gowran (1m6f, soft) a month later; entitled to be in the mix.

Sundance Sioux
Fair maiden on the Flat, the best effort of those when beaten a neck into second at Fairyhouse (1m4f) on debut; three good efforts over hurdles this year; good claimer booked on handicap debut.

Zoffanien
Three-time hurdles winner and 2-12 on the Flat; has run well on every outing since joining this yard, including four Flat runs in the second half of last year; stayed on well when second over hurdles at Cork when last seen; will be doing best work late.

Sole Flat win came over 1m at Leopardstown on heavy ground last year but ran well up to 1m5f; well beaten in two spins over hurdles and on the Flat at the Curragh this year; hard to fancy.

Four-time Flat winner in former years and also won a maiden hurdle; tailed off on belated chase debut at Tramore eight days ago and recent Flat form leaves question marks now.

Grappa Nonino
Strong stayer has won at up to 2m1f; got the better of Palamon by 1.5l over 2m on AW in March but was well behind that rival from 8lb worse off at Gowran on latest; might prefer further than this these days.

Ragmans Corner
Dual-purpose; won handicap hurdle at Punchestown in January; encouraging handicap Flat debut when beaten 0.75l into third at Roscommon (1m4f, good) off 1lb higher 19 days ago; entitled to come on for that effort; big player.

Won on the Flat (11.5f) for Andy Slattery in 2022; three-time hurdles winner for separate yards, including a spell in Britain; market will prove informative returning to the Flat.

Was ending a three-year hiatus on the Flat when scoring over C&D off 64 in April and followed up with a good second here over 1m5f; disappointed when sent off favourite for Sligo handicap hurdle on latest; respected back on the Flat.

Zariygann
Flat maiden after five starts; took well to hurdling with a wide-margin win at Roscommon last August and smart display to beat Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Listowel in September; flopped over hurdles last time but interesting on first run for new yard; tongue-tied.

Won twice over this sort of trip for Sir Mark Prescott; hasn't really improved for her new yard but wasn't beaten far at Gowran last month and handicapper has dropped her a further 2lb.

Desert Friend
Won 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap last summer off 63; hadn't been at his best this term until solid second of 10 over that C&D on latest; best on a sound surface so wouldn't want much rain.

Ten-race maiden (including five runs in bumpers); encouraging handicap debut when third here (1m5f, soft) and improved again when close third at Gowran over this trip (good); shortlisted.

Versatile five-time winner at an early stage of his career, including over C&D; bright start to season when fifth here on stable debut; missed break when solid fourth at Listowel six days ago; stays well.
