Sweet Baby Zou (F)
FAV
Little impact in a trio of maidens but took a step forward when 3¼ lengths seventh of 14 on handicap debut at Roscommon 18 days ago, despite having not been ideally placed. In good hands and could still have more to offer.

Meriden (F)
Never involved in 3 maidens this spring but shaped better than the result sent handicapping when sixth of 13 at Ballinrobe (9.6f) 3 weeks ago, denied a run approaching home turn. One to note, especially if the market vibes are strong.

Andosky (F)
[T]
Best effort when runner-up at Sligo (6f) on nursery debut last summer. Yet to fully fire in 3 handicaps this season, sixth of 16 at Navan (5f) on latest outing, but she's down in the weights as a result.

Fontaine Khaled (F)
Some promise in 6f maiden at the Curragh on debut but hasn't found any progress since, 3¾ lengths eighth of 12 in handicap at Naas (6f) last time. However, she's been eased another 5 lb in the weights and drops in grade here

Imnotleavinyou (F)
[T]
Has shown improved form when runner-up all 3 starts this season, beaten only by a stable-switcher in 17-runner contest at Navan (6f) 13 days ago. Can make her presence felt back up in trip.

Queen Of Newark (F)
Upped in trip, showed her first form when third of 10 in claimer at Roscommon (7.4f) 11 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort back in handicap company.

Stonyfalls (F)
No better than mid-division in 4 maidens last year, again finishing well held when ninth of 12 at Dundalk on final outing. Has work to do as she goes handicapping after 6 months off.

Bullet Bourbon (F)
[H]
Ran well after 4 months off when second at Dundalk in April but below form both starts since, the latest when seventh of 17 at Navan (6f) 13 days ago. However, she's been given a chance by the handicapper so she's an interesting contender.

Thistle Cross (G)
Hasn't offered much in his 3 starts so far, racing too freely on return from 6 months off when last of 15 in 1m maiden at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut.

Another Nice'day (G)
[P]
In first-time cheekpieces, fared better than previously making nursery debut when fifth of 12 at this course (5f) in September. Wasn't in the same form at Dundalk (7f) in November, but the headgear left off last time is reapplied for his r…

Dervo Annie (F)
Hinted at ability when mid-field in a 6f Navan maiden in October but hasn't kicked on since, well beaten on handicap/seasonal debut when seventh of 13 at Bellewstown (1m) in April.

Beau Army (F)
Back-to-back winner at Dundalk in November/January and, after a couple of lesser efforts, returned to form when runner-up at the same course (1m) in April. However, ran poorly back on turf at Gowran last time.

Sand Art (C)
Only modest form in maidens and failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when seventh of 11 at Dundalk in February. It still remains early days for him, though, and has a lowly mark to work from.
