Runner by runner

Agostino Jimmy Dalton(7) · Sean Davis

Winless in his last five starts and absent for 281 days, Agostino faces a stiff task here, though a second three starts back offers some encouragement; carrying 142 lb from stall 10 and rated just 59, he has experience over today's trip and going but must prove his layoff hasn't blunted him.

Irish Rumour Orla Tynan(7) · Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch

Placed third last time out and second five starts back, Irish Rumour arrives here fit on a 14-day turnaround with experience of today's trip and going, and our rating of 65 gives her a case despite carrying 142 lb from stall 14 while yet to score in recent starts.

Rosato Shane Foley · Charles Weld

Winless in her last six starts, Rosato does bring second-place finishes two and four starts back to suggest she can hit the frame, though unplaced efforts either side temper expectations; she has run over today's trip and going before and runs fresh off a seven-day turnaround carrying 142 lb from stall six.

Surpass And Shine Scott McCullagh · Patrick J Flynn

Surpass And Shine showed he knows how to win when landing a victory five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, with our rating of 66 marking him out as a genuine threat from stall nine; the concern is four unplaced runs since that success.

Asdana Sam Coen(5) · W McCreery

Ranked second of nineteen on our rating with a speed figure of 79 that sets her apart from most rivals, Asdana has run over today's trip and going and carries a manageable 141 lb from stall seven, though her recent winless run of five starts — including a pair of unplaced efforts — and a 90-day absence are the key concerns.

Lethimfly Colin Keane · Gerard Keane

Lethimfly catches the eye as the top-rated runner in the field, and having run over today's trip and going he arrives with course-relevant experience; yet to score in his last five starts, and that winless run of form is the key concern.

Simmering Seas Ben Coen · Daniel James Murphy

Winless in her last five starts, Simmering Seas nonetheless brings solid placed form — second last time out and a second three starts back — and has experience of today's trip and conditions, though 140 lb from stall 15 are factors to weigh against her.

Steel Magnolia W J Lee · W McCreery

Steel Magnolia won last time out and was second two starts back, giving her a sharp upward curve in form, though a seventh three starts back tempers expectations; experience over today's trip and going helps, but 138 lb from stall 17 is no easy ask.

One Cool Bear Adam Caffrey · Adrian McGuinness

Winless in his last six starts and returning after 85 days off, One Cool Bear faces questions about fitness, yet he has run over today's distance and going before and carries 137 lb from stall three, with our rating of 62 suggesting he holds a little more in reserve than his official mark implies.

Glen Breeze Shane Markey(7) · Patrick Magee

Glen Breeze won four starts back but has posted a sixth, fifth and ninth in his last three outings, suggesting he may be hard to catch right now; he has run over today's trip and going before, though the quick five-day turnaround is a concern.

Caffu Zafeen J M Sheridan · Paul W Flynn

Caffu Zafeen has run over today's trip and going, yet he has been winless in his last five starts with a best recent effort of ninth, and 132 lb from stall 19 makes things no easier for a gelding rated 49 on official figures.

Cleopatra Dream Diego Lima · Diego Dias

Winless in her last three starts and absent for 239 days, Cleopatra Dream faces a stiff task on these figures as the 15th-ranked of 19 runners, though she has run over today's trip and carries a clear weight.

Monastere Jack Cleary(5) · Karl Thornton

Ranked near the foot of the field on our figures, Monastere faces a stiff task returning from 50 days off and after finishing ninth last time out, though he has experience of today's trip and conditions and did score three starts back.

Ballysax Lil' Mick Wesley Joyce(3) · Miss Katy Brown

Ballysax Lil' Mick has run over today's trip and going before, and 20 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh, but he is winless in his last five starts and his official mark of 43 makes the task look stiff from stall 13.

Step Back In Time Gary Carroll · Chris Timmons

Winless in her last six starts and ranked 14th of 19 on our figures, Step Back In Time faces a stiff task here; a third two starts back offers the slender consolation, and she has run over today's trip and going before, returning on a quick 13-day turnaround.

Kidd Nicola Burns(5) · John C McConnell

Winless in her last three starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Kidd faces a stiff ask here; she has run over today's trip and going, and a 49-day break at least means she arrives fresh, but her recent unplaced efforts make her hard to fancy.

The Love Machine Luke McAteer · Sean Davis

Winless in his last six starts, The Love Machine does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and his 31-day break gives connections time to have him spot-on; 124 lb from stall 18 make it hard to fancy him strongly, however.

Jackandthefox Rory Cleary · Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 16 of 19 on our figures, Jackandthefox is hard to fancy despite the fitness edge of a 33-day break; he has run over today's trip and going before, but consistent near-miss finishes without threatening suggest improvement is needed.

Lismacbryan Siobhan Rutledge · G A Kingston

Winless in her last five starts and ranked 18 of 19 on our figures, Lismacbryan is hard to fancy on recent form, though she has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a handy 13-day turnaround from draw 1.
