| 11th | 1 | 3 |
Gonna Be Golden (F)
Clearly learnt plenty from debut and showed much improved form to get off the mark in 12-runner maiden (9/2) at Dundalk (7f) in December. Well held on handicap debut at the Curragh last month though before saddle slipped at Fairyhouse last…

Caitouna (F)
Fair form in 3 maidens at 1m, most recently when fifth of 14 on turf debut at Leopardstown (soft) 49 days ago. Not obviously bred to benefit from the drop to a sprint trip on handicap debut.

Wild Berries (F)
Fair form in maidens/novices up to 7f last season but was below that level switched to a nursery when ninth of 16 at Naas (1m, soft) when last seen in September. Back down in trip after 8 months off.

Coincidental Glory (G)
[H]
Dundalk nursery winner in December who returned to action with a good second in a Gowran claimer (1m) in April. Too keen on his next 2 outings and was out of his depth in a stronger race here 11 days ago, but still needs to get back on tra…

Whistling Jamesie (G)
[B1]
Left previous form behind when making a successful nursery debut at Dundalk (6f) in October. Hasn't beaten a rival in 2 starts so far this season, though, so plenty to prove now sporting blinkers.

Dawn Flame (G)
Looked as if he'd stay middle distances and showed improved form to get off the mark in Dundalk handicap (1m) in January but has proven too keen when well beaten there both starts since. Not certain to appreciate the drop to a sprint trip …

Shaped better than the result sent handicapping when sixth of 13 at Ballinrobe (9.6f) last month and confirmed that promise dropped to 7f when getting off the mark in a 14-runner event at Down Royal 5 days ago. Respected under a penalty.

Aurora Mist (F)
Inns of Court filly who ended her 2-y-o campaign with a good fourth at Galway in October. Stepped up on her return when getting off the mark in cosy fashion in a 14-runner handicap at Gowran (1m, good to soft) 4 weeks ago and she's conside…

Cisterna (G)
Form levelled off as a 2-y-o but back on track when third at Gowran in April and produced an improved effort when comfortably winning a 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, good, 7/1) 23 days ago. Merits consideration.

Apothic Red (G)
No better than mid-field in 3 maidens but shaped with some promise switched to handicapping when a respectable sixth of 21 at this course (6f, heavy) 45 days ago. Likely not yet reached his ceiling but suspicion is that he'll prove better …

Only modest form despite making the frame on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens, not knocked about when third of 12 at Cork (7f, soft) 15 days ago, Interesting handicap debutante in first-time cheekpieces.

No impact in 3 maidens around 7f for J. P. Flavin last season. Pulled hard when twelfth of 16 on handicap debut (50/1) at Naas (5f, good) 25 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Dubai Opulence (G)
Looked to have been brought along gradually last year and again ran to a decidedly poor level when fifteenth of 16 in maiden (28/1) at this course (6f, heavy) 80 days ago. Will need to find significant improvement on handicap debut.

Thrice-raced filly. Sixth of 13 in maiden (28/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. May do better now handicapping.

Whats It All About (F)
No show in a trio of maidens at 2 yrs. Might've needed the run when eighth of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 22/1) 63 days ago. Plenty to prove back up in trip.
