Glinka
Never a threat when behind Ice Jet at Navan (1m2f, good) on his penultimate run and fared no better at Cork (1m4f, soft) when tried in cheekpieces; those aids are now removed, as is the tongue-tie sported on his last four starts; bit to prove now.

Ice Jet
Gelded ahead of handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, good) and finished well for third in what looked a decent race for the grade; more to come over this far.

Refreshment
Six defeats include three handicaps but he's run well this season over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and Gowran (heavy); however, only 1lb lower this time and 1m3f isn't an obvious positive on his pedigree.

Eagles Dream
Held by Refreshment on their Gowran clash and again finished down the field at Cork (1m, good); raised in distance here and pedigree is a mix of speed and stamina.

Sottsands
Was some way off Ice Jet on handicap debut at Navan but ran a bit better at Dundalk (1m2f), though was only fifth of seven and had no excuses; others preferred.

Vervain
No more than minor promise in maidens from 7f to 1m2f; was always going to be one for handicaps and any support should be noted.

Ranting And Raven
Minor maiden promise; only sixth of seven on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m2f) but did go off at only 4-1 and wasn't seen to best effect from off the pace (finished one position behind Sottsands); remains of interest and blinkers are now tried.

Love Sonnet
Initial AW efforts weren't devoid of promise but took a backward step at Cork (1m, soft); still commands respect with Keane booked for handicap debut.
