Thurso
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark.

Dundalk maiden win came at 7f, well held in handicaps since at same trip, too keen on last month's Leopardstown comeback; drops in trip (ran well here in a maiden last summer).

Ran okay in a maiden here last year and seasonal-best last month when staying on fourth (Irish Rumour second) of 20 in 6.5f Curragh handicap; not sure this shorter trip will suit but yard in cracking form so respected.

Lightly raced 3yo didn't get home on soft (7f) on seasonal return before briefly tapped for toe when fourth in Cork maiden over 5f; tongue-tied added for handicap debut and stiffer 5f should suit.

Four wins have all been on fast tracks, including last year at Bellewstown (twice) and Down Royal over 5f; standout run this term at former venue when third, never counted after slow start here on latest; opposable.

Are You In Or Out
Successful seasonal/stable debut at Fairyhouse in May (6f, good), safely held twice since at 7f; drop back in trip to suit but others preferred.

Gotta Catch'em All
Has finished second on six occasions over middle-distances during his winless 25-race career; blinkers tried (has worn cheekpieces) and hard to fancy given this drastic drop in trip.

Irish Rumour
Sole win from 31 starts came here nearly two years ago (5f, good) off today's mark; seasonal-best when good staying on second of 20 at the Curragh last month (6.5f, yielding), didn't count from wide draw at Leopardstown latest; McMonagle back aboard and can't rule out.

Coincidental Glory
Won a 7f Dundalk nursery last winter and some solid efforts in defeat this term, notably good fourth at the Curragh; 7f on soft ground probably too much of a stamina test on latest, back in trip here.

Won here over 5f two years ago on fast ground, later winning at Down Royal (both times for today's rider); lightly raced in recent years, entitled to come on for last month's Naas comeback run.

Elly Bay
Solid placed efforts in maidens last year for Johnny Murtagh; standout run this term when second in 7f Fairyhouse handicap (not clear run), possibly too keen in first-time cheekpieces at same venue last week and headgear now discarded and dropped in trip.

A 23-race maiden, whose best efforts have been over 5f on fast tracks, most recently last month when second at Down Royal on soft off career-low mark; opposable over this stiff track.

Course specialist here, scene of all four wins in sprint handicaps, latest last October off 51; well below best this term however (twice here) and now 5lb wrong off much-reduced mark.
