Cherry Pink
Recorded the third win of a 29-race career when holding off Si Senior over C&D a week ago; far from certain to cope with the runner-up who had a lot to do after losing considerable ground at the start.

Si Senior
0-16 since winning on soft at Sligo in August 2023; went close against Cherry Pink over C&D last week, an excellent effort after losing considerable ground at the start; leading chance if she gets away to a level break.

Yaxchilan
Ordinary form in six maidens at 6f-7f for Dermot Weld last year; mild promise on second start for this yard in a 7f Curragh handicap; Navan run on Saturday was disappointing.

River Derwent
Won this event last year when 4lb higher; lost form after Ballinrobe third last June; stayed on without threatening when eighth of 15 here last week; perhpas unwise to rule out.

Harriet Eagle
7f winner on good ground at Gowran last year; returned from a break with a solid fifth at Dundalk; below that form at Gowran and has plenty to find with Sierra De Gredos on that running.

Dubirango
Consistent sort at Dundalk in 2022; off for almost three years before recent return, made no impact; up against it.

Mullacash Buzz
2-19 on turf, more effective at Dundalk (4-22), twice second there this year; ended last season's campaign with a fourth placing at Fairyhouse; a long way below his best at the Curragh two weeks ago; should not be ruled out with Colin Keane aboard for the first. time

Sierra De Gredos
Never in the first six last season; now appeals as a possible future winner following a prominent showing in a 1m contest at Gowran on seasonal debut; finished a close third, may improve from the run and with cheekpieces added.

Blue Wood
Has a modest strike rate (1-18 on turf, 1-16 on AW); last of 12 at Bellewstown last month; much-improved at the Curragh two weeks ago, finishing seventh of 25 despite being 8lb out of the handicap.
