'Strong-finishing Curragh third's prospects further strengthened by rider's claim'

'Won here last year; reappearance over inadequate trip, more expected of dropped in grade'

'Suspect at this trip and draw a further negative'

'Solid efforts at the festival and close third at Bellewstown; place claims from good draw'

'Recent Gowran win on heavy came over further so will need a strong pace'

'Best form in claimers, of limited appeal on recent handicap evidence'

'C&D winner back to form at Leopardstown 8 days under these conditions; wide draw not great'

'Good recent form on heavy; drop back in trip in his favour and one to consider'

'Touched off at the festival; not clear run at Leopardstown on latest, remains of interest'

'Long absent and wants better ground'

'Found wanting of late in testing conditions; hard to be confident in'

'Very moderate strike-rate of 2-64 and has mostly struggled this season; 4lb wrong'

'Upped 10lb for last month's C&D win and has struggled since'

'Likely winner but didn't stay at Gowran; very interesting dropped in trip despite 4lb rise'

'Stamina test too great on recent yard debut; drop in trip to suit, ground may not be'

'Maiden finished last of 14 on yard debut at Dundalk 10 days ago; hard to fancy'
