Barrogstown Girl
A big improver last year, winning three handicaps up to 1m3.5f; beaten 13l on return at Navan but the ground was soft then and this lively surface suits better; down 1lb and not ruled out.

Stariam
Runner-up in five consecutive maidens on varying ground conditions including over C&D; disappointing last two runs last term; needs her best on return.

- Fianna
- Megan Telford-Kelly / W McCreery
|
|
74
|
14/1 |
Fianna
Has shown some ability in three maidens, including over C&D on debut last year; not a bad Gowran run on return and is one to consider on handicap debut especially if strong in the market.

22/1 |
Autocrat
Five-time AW winner is 0-10 on turf; weakened after racing keenly over 1m6f at Gowran last time on soft; this faster ground suits better but needs more.

Duke Of Leggagh
Dual Flat winner won twice over hurdles at Naas earlier this year, all on soft or worse ground; not a bad 1m5f run at Ballinrobe last time; needs a bit more off the same mark.

10/1 |
Grizabella
Back to form for a new yard and narrowly got the better of Bambeano at Sligo (1m2.5f) last time having been pestered for the lead throughout; up 5lb and in trip but should go well again.

20/1 |
Bambeano
Has won from 1m-1m4f and is ground-versatile; back after a long absence over hurdles during winter; just denied back on the level at Sligo last time; can go well off 3lb higher.

11/4 |
Carried With Love
Won a maiden hurdle at Cork over 2m last time and some decent efforts in defeat on the Flat last year; ground-versatile and is one for the shortlist.

Secret Rock
Dual-purpose winner lost his form last year for another trainer; now back in his original yard and 3lb lower than last winning mark so can't be ruled out.

Miss Australie
Promise on first two starts last year but has been poor twice this year and isn't easy to fancy on that evidence.

|
6/1 |
Empress Alma
Reserve; won three handicaps last year up to 2m; raised 6lb for that last Thurles success and lacks a recent run but still has to be respected if getting in.
