Beat The Devil
33-1, never involved after starting slowly at Gowran on debut; contrasting ground now but massive improvement needed

8/13 |
No Such Thing
Placed in three of his five starts; slightly concerning that his last two runs have failed to match a Dundalk third behind the useful Currawood; however, this looks like a perfect opportunity for the 76-rated gelding to open his account; blinkers used when fifth of 16 in a handicap last time are left off now.

Rubadub Dubh
Not a bad effort at Navan on first turf start; could go well as second string for the stable of the form horse No Such Thing.

7/1 |
Spent All Me Money
Good run on debut when a staying-on fifth of 17 behind Mathan at the Curragh (7f, soft); heavy ground may have been an issue at Gowran; cheekpieces now, replacing blinkers; place possibility

Cosmic Force
Placed on AW for George Boughey; 62-rated gelding has stronger claims than most of these rivals, though he meets No Such Thing on 7lb worse than handicap terms.

- N M Crosse / W McCreery

I Do Believe
In good hands but has shown modest form over longer trips than this; hard to fancy.

11/1 |
Letters Of Love
Low-rated filly from a top stable; recent handicap form provides limited encouragement, has been relatively short in the betting on both occasions.

Oscar's Luck
Made no impact first time out in a 7f maiden on soft ground at Limerick; visored now.

Tall River
Makes no appeal on the evidence of two Dundalk appearances early in the year.

Dowth
Weak form in handicaps and has been dropped 8lb from her initial mark of 60; up against it.

Kept good company in maidens last season but has shown no sign of winning potential; fresh headgear combination.

Sovereign Banter
Has never finished closer than ninth place in six starts, including two handicaps; has the advantage of race fitness over stablemate Tipping Along.

Tipping Along
His fourth placing at Cork last September was obtained in a five-horse contest; weak overall form in three runs at two; lacks a recent outing.
