Newfire
1-10 on turf; won off 5lb lower at Limerick last July (1m, good); poor form since staying on well for a neck second here in a 10.5f claimer the following month; cheekpieces worn last time are discarded; unproven over this far; others look more likely.

Dumb Love
One of two for yard; dual-purpose mare is 1-15 on turf on the Flat; sound effort on latest when a 2.5l third of 10 over this trip at Gowran on testing ground; handles a sounder surface but ran poorly on her only previous visit to this track (10.5f, soft); the market should reveal expectations.

Makaiah
Second runner for yard; dual-purpose maiden but has run fine races in defeat the last twice; short of room on latest at Navan when running on for a 1.5l second of 11; same mark here and should be thereabouts with a smoother passage.

Beer With The Boys
Dual-purpose; two-time Flat turf winner but no success since winning off 59 at Ballinrobe in 2022; 5lb lower now but ran just once on the level last season at Ballinrobe in June and he's been off the track since; can only be watched.

Circus Act
Two-time winning hurdler is 0-6 on the Flat on turf; won a Down Royal handicap hurdle on latest on his first start for 230 days; in form but has run poorly both previous visits to this venue and his best Flat run came on the AW; others appeal more.

Bynx
Winning hurdler is 0-13 on turf on the Flat but she did show signs of life when fourth of 10 on bottomless ground at Gowran (13.5f) on latest; down 2lb for that and she handles better ground; not one for maximum faith but she'd have a chance on a going day.

Portarlington
Dual-purpose sort is a 0-7 on turf on the Flat; won a 2m4f handicap hurdle on yielding at Fairyhouse in December; well beaten favourite on latest Flat start on the AW in January and has been off since; more needed and may need this run.

Highland Bells
Seventeen race maiden is 0-15 on turf; twice a runner up last season at around this trip at Navan and Down Royal, both on good ground; off since heavy defeat on yielding back at Navan in October; not fully discounted and worth a market check on return for yard that does well here.

Sing A New Song
Dual-purpose maiden is 0-7 on turf on the Flat; triple figure odds for all six starts for this stable and hasn't troubled the judge; very hard to make a case for from 3lb out of the handicap.

You Make Me Smile
Winning hurdler is 0-6 on the Flat; arrives here on the back of a confidence boosting victory over timber at Clonmel (2m1f, gd-yld); her Flat form is pretty poor, however, and she ran poorly here over 10.5f last May; others preferred.
