Sole career success in 15 starts came over this C&D in May last year. Completely lost his way towards the end of the 2019 campaign but back on his winning mark for return here.

Improved from her first two starts to finish runner-up at the Curragh in October. Very disappointing on handicap debut at Dundalk in the winter and doesn't always look the easiest ride; remains with potential but career best came on soft.

Promising enough debut but has finished tailed off in three subsequent efforts including handicap debut last time at Dundalk; has issues from the stalls and probably best watched from wide draw here.

16/1
Inconsistent but managed to dominate a competitive Navan handicap (1m2f) from the front in July 2019. Executing those tactics won't be easy from the widest draw and was hit with a hefty rise in the weights for her win; best watched on yard debut.

Bits of promise in a couple of her efforts in maidens but beaten a long way on handicap debut last time out and looks in need of relief from the assessor; starts out for new yard.

Starts out for a new yard (bought for 7,000 gns) and arrives here a 13-race maiden having been frustrating to follow for Ed Dunlop. Might have a race in him from this mark but this is competitive and might be best watched for now.

A maiden after five starts and hasn't looked well-handicapped in any way following two handicap efforts at Dundalk. First-time hood applied and has plenty to find on form.

Hit the frame in a maiden for her previous yard but has struggled in four handicap starts for this outfit; showed very little at Dundalk last time and others preferred.

9/1
Won three times over this trip last year and she's back below her last winning handicap mark. Consistent sort but her best efforts have come with a fair amount of cut in the ground.

His two wins since 2017 have both come in claiming company and he's shown very little since joining this yard. Well-handicapped on old form but all his best turf efforts came on slower surface than what is likely here.

Won a heavy ground maiden at Roscommon but that's his only success since 2017. Showed nothing on debut for yard last time out and others preferred.

Eight-race maiden who has failed to hit the frame as of yet. Struggled in three starts for this yard and likely best watched at present.

11-race maiden who showed bits of form at the start of last year but very disappointing when last seen in a claimer; likely best watched.

Two wins from 43 starts and hasn't won a race since 2016. Ran okay mid-season last year but lost her way towards the end of the campaign and hard to fancy here.

Well beaten on all 11 starts and has failed to hit the frame to date. Showed no improvement at Dundalk in November and widely drawn here.

Beaten a long way on all six starts and has shown nothing since the switch to handicaps. Eased down at Dundalk last time and has a wide draw here; hard to fancy.

Hasn't won since debut in 2017 and failed to build on a third of 14 at Dundalk on debut for this yard in three starts since; out the handicap and seemingly better over further than this.

Tailed off on all three starts in maidens; drops back in trip on handicap debut but hard to build any sort of case for.

Forecasts

Treble Cone (3/1), Reddiac (7/1), Fair Game (8/1), Aisteoir (8/1), Lady Scathach (9/1), Angelorum (12/1), Giorni Felice (12/1), New Vocation (16/1), Wherewithal (18/1), Santorini Sun (18/1), Tennesse Waltz (18/1), Palabres (20/1), Tyriana (33/1), Russian Vine (33/1), Knock Flyer (33/1), Seenit Doneit Next (33/1), Upwey (33/1), Arcanecho (33/1), Miss Moneybags (50/1), Irregardless (66/1)

Verdict

Treble Cone is back on his last winning mark that was a course and distance success last year but in a competitive event, a chance is taken on LADY SCATHACH who is back below her last winning mark. Kinch is worthy of consideration if he gets in the race (first reserve).
  1. Lady Scathach
  2. Treble Cone
  3. Kinch
