Captain Ciano
Much more promising efforts at Dundalk since being gelded; disappointed when sent off favourite for 7f claimer at Dundalk on latest; prominent racer might struggle to get across from high draw on handicap debut; first start for new yard.

Aherla Rock
Sixth in an AW trial and beaten around 37l in her three races under rules; entitled to improve on her handicap debut but she will need to.

Refreshment
Mild promise in three maidens in the first half of last year with his best effort coming over 6f; wasn't without support after being gelded when midfield in 7f Galway handicap in October; the jury is out.

Marianne North
Creditable fourth behind Arizona Blaze on debut at the Curragh last year; raw when promising third over 6f at the same venue next time; last of 19 on first start for this yard at Navan in October; stable target this track so monitor the betting on handicap debut.

The Mizen Queen
Much improved on second start when fourth at Tipperary (7.5f, good); regressed in two subsequent starts but she has the rail draw on handicap debut and Colin Keane is booked for the first time; on the shortlist.

Some promise over this trip at Dundalk, but struggled to go the pace on handicap debut there on latest; probably needs to come further down the weights to be of interest.

Edergole's Angel
Only beaten 1.25l when coming from rear to finish second at the Curragh (7f, good) on handicap debut off this mark in August; poor when sent off favourite at Naas next time; last of 14 at Dundalk in October; chance if she can reproduce Curragh effort.

Tam Lin
Narrowly got off the mark over 7f at Dundalk in February; two fine efforts there since; should be up with the pace throughout and looks one of the more likely contenders if he can translate that form to turf.

Weegeebear
Left Ger Lyons after third in Naas nursery off this mark; had been regressing prior to surprise 40-1 Dundalk win in 7f claimer last time for Cormac Farrell; respected on first start for Ado McGuinness; can be slowly away which can't be afforded around here.

In The Minus
Maiden went closest when beaten 2l into fifth over 1m at Dundalk last month (well-backed); strong in the market again when last of 11 in a visor (discarded) there over 7f last time; 1lb lower on turf; front-runner could pinch a handy lead from inside draw.

Roaming Eyes
Was gradually improving since switching to handicaps but was beaten out of sight on her latest two starts on the AW; looks well treated off this mark judged on Naas run in September but she is risky.

Chriselli
Soundly beaten in three maidens but improved for switch to handicaps when running on strongly to finish fourth of 11 over 7f at Dundalk 15 days ago; step up in trip will suit; big player but she will need luck in running around here.

Three poor efforts to date on the AW, including when over 6l behind Weegeebear in Dundalk claimer last time; leading yard but plenty to find on handicap debut.

Kilgharrahs Love
Beaten 3l at Gowran (7f, soft to heavy) on handicap debut in October; ran well a week later at Galway (7f, heavy) when fourth of 16; respected but the ground is a concern.

Consistent in defeat in AW handicaps from 6f-1m since the turn of the year; closely matched with Chriselli and Tam Lin on latest; turf mark is fair; on the shortlist.

Reserve; best effort yet when third in a Dundalk claimer last time but overall profile leaves much to be desired.
