Though up 8lb for her Listowel win, BARRYROE MADAM has a progressive profile and might be able to defy that rise. Klassman was just denied over shorter at Limerick last time but his record over 3m isn't good. Ixigreczed and Mullanour have to prove they stay this far too. Kalaroun was hit with a 12lb hike for being second in a maiden last time which doesn't help. Ashdale Flyer and Butchers Bill are of interest. [Tyrone Molloy]

AW Flat winner is 0-11 over hurdles but has run well at times including at this track; however, was hit with a 12lb hike for finishing 6l runner-up in a Wexford maiden hurdle last time (seasonal debut) so faces a tougher task today.
Point winner has twice been runner-up in handicap hurdles over 2m5f this year; however, his form over 3m isn't as strong and a question back to this trip.
Won at Fairyhouse last October over this trip and a solid effort next time at Limerick (2m5f) when hampered; dropped 2lb for seasonal debut and a player if ready enough.
Yet to win but placed in bumpers and in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle last year; was in the lead when falling at Fairyhouse next time; well below that level twice since and needs best.
Useful sort when trained in UK but regressive in the last few years; runner-up over 2m4f at Gowran three months ago but stays this trip too; chance off 3lb higher.
Maiden has run well in defeat at times, notably when just denied over 2m3f at Limerick last time; however, was too keen and pulled-up over this trip at Kilbeggan in April.
