Walhaan
Capable dual-purpose performer but his last two runs (hurdling/Flat) have been thoroughly underwhelming and he is now a 9yo.

Masoun
Last year's progress for Johnny Murtagh culminated with back-to-back 1m2f handicap wins on good ground at Down Royal and the Curragh (the latest off 7lb lower); joined this yard for 105,000euros and he was easy to back on testing ground at Limerick, performing accordingly; remains of interest under these conditions.

San Andreas
Ten-time winner, though eight of those have been on the AW; in good form at Dundalk through the winter but that is more his scene.

Lady Lunette
Only 4lb higher than for her valuable win in a 1m1f handicap here in July but hasn't got a lot going since then; needed to run better on her reappearance at Cork and she can handle soft ground.

Northern Ruler
Well bred; six races equally divided between William Haggas and Karl Burke, the win coming for the latter yard in a 1m4f AW novice in January; struggled afterwards in two handicaps but respected new trainer went to 41,000gns to get him on board and has been gelded; may yet rate higher; market could be informative.

Ceallach
All five wins have been on the AW and never remotely threatened to exploit his much lower turf mark at Tipperary 17 days ago.

- Cloud Seeker
- A J Slattery / A Slattery

|
7/2 |
Cloud Seeker
Hit a hot streak last year when four consecutive wins included a 1m5f victory here on good ground; also effective at this trip but he has got himself high in the weights and it was a quiet return at Tipperary recently.

- K G Kennedy / Mrs J Harrington

|
22/1 |
Jungle Cove
Winning hurdler and a fifth Flat success when doing it well over 7f at Laytown when last seen in September; versatile trip-wise; has the form to feature but well beaten on his reappearance the last two seasons.

- Sidiza
- C D Hayes / D K Weld

10/3 |
Sidiza
It wasn't a strong maiden she won at Navan (1m2f, good) but did well to overcome a slow start and still looked green; later balloted out of a Listed race; could have a future in handicaps off this sort of mark.

Eyetrap
Both wins for Jane Chapple-Hyam were on slow ground, over 1m2f and 1m4f; ran well on his final run for that yard before changing hands for 8,000gns; absent since last July, though, and faces a tough return.

Neo Smart
Second win of a 17-race career when narrowly taking a 7f handicap on good ground at the Curragh a month ago; a 7lb rise spells danger in this stronger contest.

- Fivecromwellplace
- W Joyce / P F McEnery

|
8/1 |
Fivecromwellplace
7f AW winner who is 0-7 on turf; has finished second three times on the grass but never landed a blow behind Neo Smart the last time and he's unraced beyond a mile.
