13/2 |
Doctor Grace
Both wins here came over shorter but won over 1m5f at Down Royal in July and bounced right back to form in first-time visor (retained) when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago; well treated if she can build on that.

- Seamie Heffernan / P Lawlor

5/1 |
Numidia
Dour stayer gained third course win over 2m last month; solid fourth behind Doctor Grace over C&D on latest; likely to give his running once again.

17/2 |
Captain Hanley
Ran okay when fifth over C&D in September; remote fifth at Roscommon in October but ground was soft; should improve back on AW with Billy Lee booked for the job.

14/1 |
Desert Friend
AW winner in Britain at up to 2m; most recent victory was in 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap last year; wasn't without support in betting when fifth behind Numidia here (2m) on latest, racing keenly; not discounted dropping in trip.

- Colugo
- Brandon Wilkie / Ian Donoghue

5/1 |
Colugo
Maiden seems to be getting the hang of things, strong at the finish when third here (10.5f) last month and probably hit the front too soon when third over the same C&D nine days ago (one place behind Aingeal Dorcha); should stay this far.

Yup Bro
Lightly raced 3yo made mildly encouraging handicap debut here (10.5f) last month; could have more to offer now upped in trip.

- Patrick Mcgettigan / Ciaran Murphy

Lady Christa
Winner over this trip at Fairyhouse last year for Sheila Lavery; nothing in three turf runs this year for new yard and poor effort here last month; cheekpieces added.

- Aingeal Dorcha
- Adam Browne-Souza / A Slattery

3/1 |
Aingeal Dorcha
Two wins from 22 starts on turf; improved form of late since switching to AW, headed right on the line when beaten a short head here (10.5f) nine days ago; closely matched with Colugo on that run; live contender.

- Adam Caffrey / A Mcguinness

7/1 |
Jawhary
Four years since sole win in 36-race career; 0-16 on AW but big improvement on latest when runner-up over C&D; remains well treated if he can build on that now.

- Waystar
- Adam Grant / J C Mcconnell

Waystar
Sole win was over C&D in March from 3lb higher mark; recent form leaves much to be desired; others appeal more.

- Kartayaz
- Zoe Mcmullan / G A Kingston

|
14/1 |
Kartayaz
First win in over three years and gave Zoe McMullan a night to remember (her first ever winner) when taking advantage of basement mark here (10.5f) nine days ago; 4lb higher but chance with a repeat.

- Synchronize
- Shay Wallace / J Morrison

50/1 |
Synchronize
Dual-purpose sort has finished well behind in recent hurdle starts and failed to beat a rival home here two weeks ago.

Carslake
Longstanding dual-purpose maiden was midfield in C&D claimer nine days ago; hard to fancy.

- Rock Ya Boy Ya
- Megan De Souza-Wearen / Francis Casey
|
|
|
9/1 |
Rock Ya Boy Ya
Took him a while to get going over hurdles but hacked up in handicaps at Killarney and Tramore before easily landing Wexford novice in October; 116-rated hurdler could be thrown in back on the Flat off current mark with rider taking a further 10lb off.

Second reserve; yet to threaten in five starts; plenty to prove at present.
