Has improved since stepping up in trip last 2 starts, chasing home A Pretty Penny in 1½m event at Tramore before taking another step forward when ¼ lengths third of 18 to Sunrush in 1¾m event at Navan on latest. One to take seriously.

Winner at Sligo in August and showed further improvement when narrowly beaten by Coulstys Way in handicap at Galway. Up another 12 lb in the weights now, though, and further progress needed if he's to feature.

Left previous efforts behind in first-time cheekpieces and upped in trip when landing 16-runner 1½m handicap at Roscommon 3 weeks ago by 1¼ lengths from Glen Echo. Up 5 lb and cheekpieces now removed but still unexposed.

Won 8.5f handicap in July and turned in best effort since when 3¾ lengths third of 14 to Aquilla Star over same C&D 13 days ago. Shaped as if worth a try over further that day but this represents quite a marked step up in trip.

Fair maiden that was runner-up in 10.5f handicap at Down Royal in June and then backed that up when chasing home Vantage Code in 1¾m event at Galway the following month. Ran poorly last time, though, and needs to bounce back to best

Brought along with handicaps in mind in maidens, catching the eye on more than one occasion. Remains open to improvement now making handicap bow but marked step in trip is a complete unknown and not an obvious move on pedigree.

800,000 gns yearling who showed promise amidst inexperience when runner-up in maiden at Chelmsford on debut in March but hasn't kicked on since, including on debut for new connections last time (bought for just 20,000 gns). Plenty to prove now upped in trip on handicap debut.

Maiden handicapper, who has yet to fire for current connections but took a step back in the right direction when 4¼ lengths seventh of 14 to Mare Crisium at Clonmel last time. RESERVE.

Blue Point filly who was always holding on when landing a double at Naas (11f) in early-June. Has shaped as if still in form without threatening to add to those successes in 2 starts since and tendency to hang left under pressure is an increasing concern.

Brought along gradually in a trio of maidens but failed to make an impact in a claimer last time and has a bit to prove now handicapping and upped further in trip.

Maiden who hasn't kicked on in handicaps at around 1m on last 2 starts. Improvement needed now back up in trip.

Promise both starts last year, improving from debut when third in 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (1m) in December. Well beaten in 2 turf maidens in the spring, though, and now tackles a longer trip switched to handicaps on debut for a new yard.

Mid-division in maiden and handicaps but has been given a chance by the assessor and no surprise were he to fare better here for all others are preferred.

Showed plenty to work on when third in extended 1¼m maiden at Navan on debut but hasn't built on that in 3 outings since, including in 1m handicap at Galway on latest. Dropped 6 lb and first-time tongue strap applied but didn't get home on first try at this trip in June.

Improved for application of cheekpieces when an 8-length second of 10 in handicap at Sligo (13.3f, good to soft) in August, but failed to back that up at Navan last time. RESERVE.

Hit the frame in a pair of maidens at Fairyhouse in June, but has gone the wrong way since and is hard to fancy unless the market states otherwise.

Little show in 5 starts to date. Headgear discarded. Engaged 2.18 here Sunday. RESERVE.
