Four wins from 95 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (6f, good, 22/1) 6 days ago, not clear run. Others make much more appeal.

First run since leaving E. J. O'Neill/off 11 months when tenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Sligo (6f, good) 6 days ago, going off too hard. Possible he'll step up on that now.

1 win from 3 runs this year. 13/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Tipperary (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. Still, she remains lightly raced, so that may not prove her limit.

Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 6 to Sarahmae in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good to soft, 11/4) 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Tongue strap on 1st time. Looks competitive on form.

Unreliable sort. Last of 14 in nursery (28/1) at Dundalk (7f) in October, first beaten having took little interest. Risky proposition on return to action with cheekpieces back on.

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on return when eleventh of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 28 days ago. Has a race in him from this sort of mark and of interest despite a low draw.

7/1, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 14 days ago by 1½ lengths from She's Smart, readily. On the upgrade this year and she's probably capable of better still.

Course winner. 125/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, ninth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut. Off 19 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Vincent Carroll and market best guide on this belated return.

5f winner who shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when eighth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 9/1) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly under Colin Keane.

Made a winning handicap debut at the Curragh (6.3f) last June and similar form when making the frame on pair of 6f handicaps in the autumn. Never figured back at 7f on final start but the return to sprinting looks a plus following 6 months off.

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in April. 8/1, creditable 3 lengths sixth of 20 to Beano Power in handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 14 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Revised mark demands that little bit more.

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 16 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft, 125/1) 24 days ago. Will hold more chance now handicapping and interesting if the market spoke in her favour.
Timeform Verdict 
TOMARLO shaped well after 3 months off, that despite having no cover and ultimately doing too much too soon when third behind Sarahmae at Tipperary 16 days ago. The demands of a big-field scenario such as this promises to be much more to his liking and he's fancied to go close here. Beano Power arrives in fine form and she's feared along with Surpass and Shine. Aforementioned Sarahmae also commands respect given her lightly-raced profile.
