River Derwent
Has plenty of form here but last year ended on a low note and slow starts have become an unwanted habit.

Dubirango
Was 7lb higher when winning over 7f here more than three years ago; some good runs afterwards as well but now returns from a mammoth absence.

Camachero
Ten-race maiden but was close up behind Harry The Rogue here on his penultimate run and got no luck in running when sent off favourite here last week; can be given another chance.

Harry The Rogue
No wins in 16 but has knocked on the door here a few times and can be forgiven a blip here two weeks ago as usually consistent; enters the reckoning.

Gatsby Cap
Four-time course winner (7f-1m) and hasn't had much racing since the latest of those 14 months ago; only midfield last week but 1m2f form isn't that convincing and he was returning from an absence; better expected back at 1m.

Bungle Inthedesert
C&D winner a year ago off 9lb higher but has achieved precious little since then despite plenty of tweaks with headgear.

Eagles Whistle
Lightly raced and there have been some positives to take from two runs here, in a 7f maiden and 1m handicap; reportedly still green last time when beaten about 5l and could have some improvement lurking.

Blue Wood
Both wins have been over 7f (one here); has a strike-rate of 2-31 and looks cold at the minute.

Saxon Kingdom
A 20-race maiden but was only 2l away in a C&D handicap late last year and ran well when beaten 2.5l in a big field at Leopardstown last weekend; possibilities.

Clifton Light
Only had the four races (6f-1m) but was 80-1 when beating one home on handicap debut here two weeks ago; lots to prove.

Carrickfinn
No wins in 11 and has struggled badly in three starts since moving yards; needs help from more new headgear.
