Wicklow Gap
Penultimate Roscommon run his best yet, good fourth after not clear run in first-time tongue-tie; wide draw and testing ground valid excuses for poor effort at Leopardstown; better run expected here.

Out the back in three maidens over trips ranging from 7f-1m4f; handicaps have likely always been the plan so worth a market check for local trainer.

Dream Legend
Down the field in turf/AW contests last year; long-priced C&D winner (soft) in April on first attempt at the trip before solid third at Gowran (7f, soft) from 9lb higher; would probably want rain but holds every chance.

Enthusiastically
Won 7f Dundalk nursery on AW debut last November when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; didn't quite see out the stiff mile when close fourth at Dundalk on yard debut; completely tailed off over 6f at the Curragh on latest; headgear combination is back on eased in grade.

Fontaine Khaled
Well held first two handicap starts but not beaten far at Naas in April and solid third of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) on latest; the winner Meriden has gone on to win three more on the bounce (now rated 97) and three further winners have come out of the race; shortlisted up in trip.

First five runs this year on the AW, best effort on 7f handicap debut when beaten around 5l into fifth; finished last next time and no better on turf debut at Fairyhouse in May; new headgear combination; others preferred.

Due In June
Soundly beaten in three 7f maidens; failed to land a blow on 6f Fairyhouse handicap debut last month; Colin Keane booked stepping up in trip; watch the market for clues.

Triple-figure prices for all three maiden runs when well beaten; cheekpieces on for handicap debut at a more realistic level now handicapping; market will reveal expectations.

Stonyfalls
Soundly beaten in maidens; 66-1 for handicap debut when sixth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good), not far behind Fontaine Khaled and Beau Army; failed to build on that at that venue on soft 13 days ago but could bounce back if the ground is good.

Borora Aura
Third placing in a Ballinrobe claimer was a step in the right direction; not without her backers in first two handicap outings but has failed to deliver; tongue-tie is now reached for.

Bullet Bourbon
Second runner for local yard; maiden went closest when chasing home a progressive type over 6f at Dundalk in April; has a tendency to miss the break; short of room and hampered 2f out when behind third-placed Fontaine Khaled at Down Royal on latest; not discounted.

Has won over 6f/7f at Dundalk; ran her best race on turf when fourth behind the progressive Meriden at Down Royal on penultimate (one place behind Fontaine Khaled); nowhere near that level at Limerick since but player if at her best.

Cause I Like You
Second runner for yard; never better than fourth in 12 outings; not a bad effort when fifth of 14 at Ballinrobe (1m2f) ten days ago but will need to pull out more to win this.

Second runner for yard; weak turf form last season; maiden's best form is on the AW; has plenty to find judged on two latest efforts at Gowran and Ballinrobe; new headgear combination.

Reserve; some decent runs in defeat on AW over 5f-6f during the winter but has failed to beat a single rival home in two turf starts this year since being gelded; first try beyond 6f.
