The contenders

Charlie's Dilemma KTB Fit 57/100

Form 78-845 · John C McConnell · Michael Kenneally(5)

Useful performer who has shown enough at this trip to be competitive, placing once from two starts. He has run just once at Wexford, finishing fifth, and has placed three times from seven runs on good ground without winning. First-time headgear is now applied.

Set The Tone KTB Fit 54/100

Form 8-0P21 · David M O'Brien · Conor Stone-Walsh

Set The Tone is a fair sort who has won over this trip and at this track from just two visits. He arrives in decent order after two recent wins yet the first-time headgear is an unknown and his strike rate remains modest overall. The yard and jockey both have established records here though neither sets the track alight.

Gerrys Wish KTB Fit 54/100

Form 22-8P2 · Gordon Elliott · Jack Kennedy

Useful performer who has been placed in all three starts over this trip and has solid form figures at Wexford with a second and a third from three runs here. No win on good ground from seven attempts but he has still been competitive on it. First-time headgear is now tried while both trainer and jockey have modest 13% strike rates at the track.

Tango Theatre KTB Fit 53/100

Form 177-58 · John C McConnell · Shane Fitzsimons(7)

Tango Theatre is a useful performer with solid placed form at this trip and a respectable record on good ground. He has course experience here though failed to finish, while the first-time headgear is an unknown that could sharpen him up. The trainer holds a fair record at Wexford but the jockey has had too few rides here to judge.

Form /60-5D · Cian Collins · Reserve 1

Useful performer who has failed to land a blow in three runs since returning from a long absence. She showed little on her only previous visit to Wexford and has never placed on good ground or over this trip. First-time headgear is now applied.
