Mister Adam
Ran well in 1m/1m2f maidens, the latest when third of 18 at the Curragh (good; runner-up has since won a maiden); his dam won the Irish St Leger so looks interesting over this longer trip on handicap debut.

Happiest
Two Oaks entries don't look significant given her achievements to date; on the plus side, her best run was when fourth on good ground at Thurles and last two defeats have come in the mud, the latest on handicap debut (1m4f); stable has won two of the last four runnings of this.

Berto Ramirez
More exposed than some after eight defeats but was only 3-1 for an AW handicap last time (1m2f) and didn't get the breaks behind Drucker; second to Heishybrid in a maiden here last season.

Junkyard Dog
Had seven races; went up a harsh 8lb for winning a 1m2f handicap at Navan (good) but soft ground could have been to blame for his Cork run; should fare better this time and cheekpieces are added.

Nuit
Irish Oaks entry is very optimistic but she's shown enough in 1m/1m1f maidens to believe she can do some damage off this sort of mark; finished behind well-bred fillies the last time at Gowran; bred to stay this far.

Bitterly disappointing in her last two 1m maidens given the promise she showed on debut; hood tried last time is removed; reservations on this handicap debut.

Palmezzano
Making his handicap debut when pushing stablemate Junkyard Dog close at Navan (1m2f, good) and has a 3lb pull on the winner; not yet exposed and needs considering.

Heishybrid
One run at 1m (second) and five goes at 7f, winning a maiden here last August; down the field on handicap debut before suffering same fate in a Listed race; now has another tweak with the headgear; bit to prove, especially upped to 1m4f.

Green Asset
Hasn't really built on a respectable debut behind Scorthy Champ, last time beating only one home at Killarney (1m); may do better now handicapping in headgear and the dam stayed this far.

Behind both Junkyard Dog and Palmezzano at Navan; reversed placings with the former when fourth at Cork but was beaten 8l and there were no excuses from the front.

Drucker
Well beaten in his maidens but defied market weakness to win a seven-runner AW handicap (1m2f) in which he raced prominently throughout; had the run of things that day but a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world.
