Duke Silver
Never counted in a Flat race last weekend but had previously gone close in a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford (good); can cope with this sharper test and slower ground; respected.

Ballycashin
Bumper and C&D winner; confirmed her liking for this track when staying on for third over 2m here recently and returning to further is an obvious move.

Avalo
Had failed to build on the promise of his bumper debut but was backed for a Wexford maiden last week (2m4f, good) and duly won well; however, the runner-up was rated only 83 so the form is nothing to shout about; handicap debut.

Cathryns Ruby
Had two runs for this yard and sufficient promise in those Cork maidens (2m3f; soft/good) to believe she can pay her way in handicaps; considered.

Star Official
Took form to a new level by winning comfortably at Tramore (2m, yielding) but went up 8lb for that and came up short on last week's return visit; still difficult to put a line though him in current vein of form.

Gimme A Buzz
Watch the weather as this 5yo seemed to improve for the drier ground (good to yielding) when justifying market confidence off 7lb lower at Tipperary (2m1f; made all); clear claims should conditions remain suitable, especially as he's off the same mark if factoring in jockey's claim.

Lynchy Boy
Is 0-8; had no excuses from the front when beaten just under 5l at Kilbeggan three weeks ago (2m, good); may improve for this longer trip (placed behind Mr Dibbs in a 2m4f maiden) and the tongue-tie is new.

Mr Dibbs
Won a Kilbeggan maiden 12 months ago but then twice tailed off in handicaps, over 3m1f and 2m3f; needs to leave those efforts behind and has been absent since July.

General Clermont
Runner-up in his last three handicap chases and no reason why he shouldn't continue the good work back over hurdles off a lower mark in this discipline, provided the ground doesn't turn too soft.

Kells Priory
Only real effort of note since last July's Killarney win (2m4f, good; same mark) was the third at Plumpton in April and yet they went no pace in that race; others preferred.

Pirate Island
Is 0-13 over hurdles; best form on testing ground so rain would be welcomed; not a bad effort on good to yielding last time when tried in blinkers; each-way claims.

Sole win came over further at Limerick just over a year ago; needed to run better last time at Kilbeggan to make the shortlist for this.

Adaliz
Lightly raced mare who was in first-time cheekpieces when getting up in the nick of time over C&D last month (good); only 4lb higher and entitled to improve some more.

Angelsworknovrtime
Last summer's Kilbeggan win off 5lb lower remains her sole win in 26 starts; opposable on balance of form and lacks a recent run.

First reserve; C&D winner in February (soft) and then went close off just 3lb lower at Down Royal; latest effort can be upgraded; possibilities if getting a run.
