Jered Maddox
Won twice over 5f at Dundalk this winter and he's 11-52 on AW but not as good on turf (1-23); while return to 6f is fine, the handicapper has probably caught up again now.

Staysound Susie
Career best to land a fillies' handicap at Cork last season and went close over this C&D too; probably wasn't helped by racing away from the action here 12 days ago but still needs a career best to defy this mark.

Pinar Del Rio
Won back-to-back last season but all his best form is on very different ground to this and he's been off 266 days; probably best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

Escaping Thejungle
Both wins from the front over 5f at Bellewstown; low-key return, albeit in Listed class and needs to prove she's as effective at this distance; others more likely.

- C T Keane / P W Flynn

Rappell
All three wins at 6f and he's a real threat when he gets a decent pace to aim at; will have needed his return on unsuitable ground and looks like a big player with Keane on board.

Never Shout Never
Consistent on AW this winter and only beaten 1l back on turf at the Curragh latest; up 2lb but remains on workable mark and won't mind the return to 6f.

Altimara
Eight-race maiden but went close on AW twice towards the end of last year; however, those runs were over 7f and she was well held over 1m on return; others look stronger.

Prime Sign
Showed very little in maidens but it was a big upset on handicap debut when winning a 6f Curragh handicap at 50-1; up 9lb but she's entirely unexposed and ought to go well again with similar conditions.

Started brightly for this yard last season but lost his way a bit recently and opposable in a competitive handicap.

Improve Your Move
Fourth in below par Listed race in France and wasn't disgraced on Irish debut in October; might need this on return though and not obviously well treated.

Came in for market support when eighth over 5f at Navan and respectable run at the Curragh over 7f since; feasibly treated but no wins since 2023.

Below form in four runs for new yard and drop to 6f unlikely to help.

Skillman Ave
Some good runs in defeat since switch to handicaps but doesn't look obviously well treated and likely to need this after 157 days off.
