[B]
Effective Dundalk performer with three course wins who finished fifth of 11 in handicap at this course over 10.7f (6/1) 21 days ago when racing wide without cover and weakening late. Could improve back at this 12f trip where he's won befor…

[T]

Trishuli River (M)
[PT]
Multiple Dundalk winner who performs much better on AW than turf, proving better than ever for latest C&D success 4 weeks ago. Up 5 lb, which asks a new question but she's clearly in excellent heart.

Benavente (G)
Course specialist with five Dundalk wins, adding to tally over 10.7f (7/1) 23 days ago, staying on well to lead in final strides. Now up 5 lb for hat-trick bid but has proven versatile over different trips.

Edge Of Darkness (G)
[P]
Below form in Flat race 15 months ago and pulled up in hurdle at Cork (80/1) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he has a lot to prove.

Porsche Lad (G)
