Nostra Casa
Four wins at up to 2m for Paul Flynn and won first time out for the last two seasons; would definitely like more ease in the ground, though; first start for Leonard Flynn.

Not Just Any Eagle
Four-time winner and goes well for this 7lb claimer; won over 1m5f on quick ground last summer; should have come on from AW outing last month.

Palamon
Fair hurdler was creditable fourth in 2m Curragh handicap on good ground last summer; fit from hurdling when second to Grappa Nonino in 2m AW handicap last month and now 8lb better off with rider's claim taken into account

Grappa Nonino
Strong stayer has won at up to 2m1f; got the better of Palamon by 1.5l over 2m on AW last month and now 8lb worse off with that rival; drop in trip not a plus.

Gangster Granny
Got a big hike for winning 1m4f maiden last summer but was very competitive in handicaps over that trip off her revised mark; has shaped more than once like this longer trip will suit and better for last month's seasonal debut.

Sioux Eagle
Locally-trained maiden has shown fair amount of ability and hasn't had much racing; third over C&D (good) last summer on only handicap start and ran well behind subsequent York winner Extensio at Fairyhouse; had a spin over hurdles in February and Coen a notable booking.

Walking On Glass
Grand servant under all codes with eight wins in all; got 2m1f Bellewstown handicap in stewards' room in August; off five months and likely to come on for the run.

Autocrat
All five wins have come on AW at up to 1m4f and comes here in good form after a busy winter campaign at Dundalk; fair fifth over 2m at Thurles in October but probably opposable on turf.

Molly Hall
Stays further and likes quick ground; has won three races in lower grade and scored after five-month layoff last year but may find a few too strong at this level.

Forlio
Best turf form at around 1m4f on testing ground; stayed on well over this trip at Navan (yielding) in October after meeting interference and was second to Glyde Ranger on AW next time; comeback sixth at the Curragh should have teed him up nicely but lively ground could be a problem; tongue-tie left off.

Glyde Ranger
Has won over 1m5f on turf and beat Forlio over 1m4f at Dundalk in November; not as good last couple of AW starts and refused over hurdles last month.
