Odds of $126.00 and ran 11th last start at this track but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back in the field. Rising in distance. Will be a challenge.

Honest race when 3rd last run at Leopardstown and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early toe. Drawn the rails. Definitely worth considering.

Was $21.00 and ran 7th last run at Dundalk. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. This won't be easy.

At $126.00 subpar when 9th last run at the track but fitter for debut run. Likely to get back in the run. Will require a bold run.
