Glenashling
Lightly raced 6yo off the mark at fourth attempt in 2m1f Down Royal maiden in March (better ground, first-time hood) courtesy of the stewards having been impeded run-in; reportedly lost a shoe (and blowing hard) when well held on handicap debut against some seasoned rivals at Ballinrobe but remains capable of better and drops in class here.

Bayrann
Thurles maiden win last term came on good ground; disappointing twice since on easier ground at Punchestown, latest when dropping away quickly after forcing much of pace early this month in handicap; bit to prove now.

Handicap wins over this trip came at Leopardstown and Tramore over a year ago; looked in handicapper's grasp over the winter and returns from a short break for new yard here.

Mountain Port
Shock (150-1) winner of 2m Tramore maiden last summer for Kieran Purcell but two poor runs since in handicaps, latest early this month on yard debut; probably still too high in the handicap.

Kimy
Tramore maiden winner last summer (good) and career-best second in valuable Leopardstown mares' handicap at DRF (soft); form since has been disappointing so needs to bounce back.

Expound
Useful Flat handicapper was gaining third win in that discipline when scoring at Ballinrobe six days ago, making most under 10lb claimer and just holding on; relatively unexposed over hurdles, winning Tramore maiden last summer but didn't get home after getting worked up on handicap debut; in good heart and could play a big role here on favoured ground.

Mount Frisco
Front-runner recorded heavy-ground wins early last year in Tramore novice chase and 2m Limerick novice handicap hurdle; below best on quicker ground of late over both hurdles and fences; hard to be confident in on this ground but never one to rule out.

Ballycashin
Sole win came in 2m3f handicap here a year ago (yielding) off 102; comeback run here last month (behind a stablemate) was encouraging enough but took a backward step at Punchestown; remains of interest given her record here.

Fascinating Shadow
Cork maiden win came on debut three years ago; best effort in handicaps came this time last year when third at Ballinrobe; recent Cork comeback Flat effort was good considering soft ground wasn't ideal; back on favoured ground and could go well.
