Cock And Bull (G)
Fairly useful Flat winner who showed more than previously in this sphere when seventh of 16 in maiden at Leopardstown 6 weeks ago. Looks the type to do better again in handicaps so would be folly to ignore given connections.

No Big Deal (G)
FAV
[T]
C&D winner in October. 20/1, possibly needed run when well-beaten ninth of 22 in handicap at Cork (17.1f, good to soft) last month. Should be much closer to form here.

Single Edition (G)
First run since leaving Nigel Slevin when tailed-off last of 11 in maiden at Gowran 7 months ago. Others more persuasive as he returns over hurdles for a new handler.

Space Warrior (G)
On long losing run and showed little when ninth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (1m, heavy) 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track reverted to hurdles.

Ray Gun (G)
[T]
Fair middle-distance Flat winner who has regressed from debut in this sphere, tailed off in maiden at Punchestown in January. Tongue tie reapplied for this handicap debut and a better showing is anticipated.

Glendine Billy (G)
Hasn't stood much racing of late and shaped as though amiss when last seen at Tramore last August.

Marian Avenue (G)
Yet to show any ability in 4 starts over hurdles but is bred for longer trips and may yet do better now tackling a handicap for the first time. Betting check advised given connections.

Old Kenmare (G)
Placed in his first 2 handicaps at this venue last spring. Seemingly working his way back to peak fitness this term, shaping with a little encouragement from a less-than-ideal position when eighth of 13 here earlier in the month. Each-way …

Added Bonus (G)
[PT]
Overall strike-rate is very modest (2-60) but did make a bit more impact than previously this season when fourth of 15 here last month. Task is to now build on that.
