In depth
Formwatch
Onlytime Will Tell Will find this tough on his handicap debut but has some fair form and is still one to consider.
Floot Trainer's horses can not be dismissed at this stage of the season and ran well over 7f last season; skimpy price in this field may be off-putting.
Basinet Has shown little this year and is still a maiden; from respected stable however.
Sungio Ran some good races on soft last season and looks the type who is better than his bare form; could run very well.
Groundsfordivorce (IRE) Has run some decent races on the AW but this is his first try on turf; best watched today.
Just Midas Looks the type who will improve over time and is best left alone.
Wattno Eljohn (IRE) Ran some promising efforts in defeat last season and is capable of taking this sort of event.
Spice Island Has won on heavy but has been off for a long time and stable not really firing.
Broughtons Motto Looks more of a sprinter (despite pedigree) than a miler.
Carraca (IRE) No real chance on these terms.
Blue Lady (IRE) Never raced on ground so heavy and not really proven at this trip.
Lifford Lady Won here last time but has been put up nearly a stone and can not be seriously fancied.
Impish Lad Well exposed gelding who should not have the ability to win this.
Santisima Trinidad (IRE) Trip looks on the long side for this filly who is another who should improve in time.
Our Indulgence (IRE) Would need to show an improvement on form shown to get the better of some of these.
Safinaz Not really one to consider in this grade.
Brief Contact (IRE) One to avoid on form shown thus far.
Compton Chick (IRE) Stepping back in trip but ground will suit and is in good heart; one for the shortlist.
