Friendly Invoice
Had a bunch of these behind her when getting off the mark in her second handicap over C&D at 28-1 when last seen in November; plenty to do that day, staying on strongly from the rear; one of the key contenders despite an 8lb rise.

Oh Cecelia
Won a 5f Cork maiden in May before being set an ambitious task in the Albany Stakes; not exactly progressive and her switch to this surface last month didn't spark improvement.

The Love Machine
Navan winner off 61 in October for Michael Mulvany (6f, yielding); okay efforts since at this track, with the best of his three runs a 2.5l fifth behind Friendly Invoice in November, when outpaced before rallying; has been gelded and switched yards since last seen 53 days ago.

Battleforsupremacy
Left maiden form well behind to score by a neck on AW/handicap debut here last month (7f); well backed despite 8lb rise and higher grade last time, but repeatedly denied a clear run and clipped a heel to finish sixth; that was a good effort considering the circumstances and he tops the shortlist.

Practical Move
Not disgraced in maidens and ran better than her 50-1 price suggested when a 4.75l fifth of 10 in a 5f conditions race in September; way below that level back from a break in a C&D handicap last time; down 5lb and may have come on for that.

Plushy
Fine runs in defeat in first two turf maidens over 5f at Bellewstown and Cork; good effort on C&D handicap debut in November when beaten 3l; slowly away and always behind last time; can do better off 3lb lower.

Decent runs the last two maidens here, took a a 4.75l fourth of nine over 5f in December and took the same position over 6f last time (ahead of Dakota Dancer); tongue-tie on now.

Best of three maiden runs came over 7f here on penultimate when a 9.5l seventh; stayed on for a 7.75l sixth over 6f last time; others preferred based on form to date, but improvement not ruled out on handicap debut.

Dropped away late into fourth on C&D handicap debut when behind Friendly Invoice in November; sent off 3-1 joint-favourite last time but hung and weakened into 12th; more needed.

Mini Cotai
Didn't show much in her maiden runs and not much impact in three handicap runs here over 6f/5f either; 2lb wrong and little to recommend her.
