Dancing Phantom Classy individual who should like the ground but might need the handicapper to give him some respite.
Johannian A third to Yavana's Pace looks good; this is a lower grade race than he's normally used to.
Inigo Jones (IRE) Likes the ground but none too consistent.
Celtic Mission (USA) Clearly on the upgrade and has to be respected despite the draw.
Scorned (GER) Hasn't shown that much this year but has gone on the ground in the past.
Bawsian Does go in the ground but doesn't win as often as he should.
Nowell House Has to be of some interest here and Hitchcott takes off a useful 7lb.
Celtic Island Seems to like it at this track and trainer is most certainly in form.
Mana d'Argent (IRE) Tough and rarely runs a bad race but jockey booking isn't particularly inspiring.
Lady Two K (IRE) Far from certain on this ground.
Rampant (IRE) Handles the soft but probably not got the class here.
Borders Belle (IRE) Well in against Celtic Mission these days and might be the one to be on each-way.
McGillycuddy Reeks (IRE) Should have no problems with trip or ground but will the jockey be able to boot this one home in a tricky field.
Spring Pursuit Off a winning mark here; went close last time out and no forlorn hope.
Tikram Probably being aimed with a jumps campaign in mind.
Chem's Truce (IRE) High enough in the weights at present but has some old form on this surface.
Batswing Struggled on the flat this term and might be best left alone today.
Prompt Payment (IRE) First time up in a handicap but has to have a major chance if handling the ground.
