Cork 17:45 Odds Comparison

Maiden winner at Ballinrobe in July who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in nursery at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft) in October, left poorly placed. Colin Keane takes over in the saddle for the first time and it's dangerous to assume he's shown all he can.

Fair maiden who ran well on both his handicap starts in the autumn and expected to be thereabouts again if ready to roll on this return to action.

Australia gelding who shaped well when runner-up at Galway on debut in August but has looked less than straightforward on both his starts since, including in first-time cheekpieces on latest start. Needs to get back on track on handicap/seasonal debut.

Promise on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens and posted a respectable fifth of 12 in 1m nursery at Leopardstown on final start in October, despite being unsuited by the emphasis on speed. Should have more to offer at 3 yrs, including over longer trips.

Showed something like his debut form in a first-time visor when third in 11-runner maiden at Thurles (8.2f, good to soft) in October. Opening mark demands a bit more, however.

Lightly-raced maiden who possibly needed the run when eighth of 13 on handicap debut (20/1) at Naas (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not written off just yet.

Steadily progressive in a trio of maidens last year and strikes as the type to raise her game further now handicapping up in trip, though her opening mark could have been kinder.

Produced a career best when winning 11-runner nursery at the Curragh (7f, soft) in September. Beat only one home at Leopardstown the following month but possibly found it coming a little too soon.

Fair form at best in a trio of maidens at up to 1m last year but subsequently gelded and remains with potential now entering handicaps.

Hasn't progressed since 6f debut success at Sligo last season, though probably needed the run in first-time cheekpieces when down the field at Naas on his recent reappearance.
