Bambeano
AW/turf winner in 2023 but has been in the doldrums on the Flat and over hurdles since returning from an absence.

Gamigin
Not that threatening on the Flat before finishing third in a claiming hurdle on final run for Noel Kelly; others appeal more.

Grizabella
Flat/hurdle winner; rediscovered some form to finish a close second at Cork (1m4f, soft) and she won't mind this drier ground; in the mix.

Dynamite Defense
1m4f looked a stretch on a slow surface last time and this trip on drier ground is a better fit; not impossibly treated and usually gives his running.

Top Of The Pops
A long time between drinks but he stuck on well to win over 1m at Gowran a month ago; however, he's up 7lb and has stamina to prove over this far.

Magic Charm
Out of form at the end of last season and a similar tale so far this year; 2-38 overall and very opposable.

Rock Basher
Some fair runs for former yard last year but well held in two AW runs for current operation and now goes in a hood; risky.

Anjah
Off the mark at the 34th attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Dundalk in September; wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up after his absence.

Kartayaz
Four wins for John McConnell were at 1m2f and debut for this yard was at 1m4f; didn't appear to get home and that was after a long break; better expected.

Together Aclaim
Strike-rate of 1-35 and hasn't been in the best of form since winning on the AW in early 2024, albeit in a limited number of appearances; others appeal more.

Creative Dancer
11-race maiden formerly with Emmet Mullins; doesn't look a winner waiting to happen under either code.
