The vote goes to MAGNETIC NORTH, who landed the corresponding event 12 months ago. The nine-year-old was on target at Gowran last month and must hold every chance of retaining his crown, while he does not have much to find with the likes of Morph Speed, who is top-rated from a mark of 79. He finished last of 10 in a competitive handicap on his most recent outing but dropping in class may see him get more involved now. Lunar Bird is one to note on her Irish debut. The Cracksman filly was a winner in England last year and is entitled to play a part if running to her mark of 75.

KENDANCER wasn't seen to best effect in a similar event last time on the back of 2 claiming hurdle wins and he's worth another chance. Magnetic North and Lunar Bird are feared.

The vote goes to MAGNETIC NORTH who has a good record in claiming races and is a C&D winner

STARIAM wouldn't be winning out of turn here having been runner-up on her last three outings. The Sea The Stars filly bumped into a smart sort last time when chasing home Magical Zoe at Down Royal and this looks like a winnable opportunity now. Her 5lb fillies allowance may prove crucial against Carlo Bianconi, who is rated a couple of pounds superior. The Galiway gelding has also been knocking on the door and ran with credit in a very competitive handicap on Derby Day at the Curragh last time. Kings Hill, a smart horse over hurdles, is an interesting one tried on the level now.

KINGS HILL is a classy jumper and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Carlo Bianconi is feared most ahead of Stariam.

Runner-up on three occasions STARIAM faces nothing of the calibre of smart hurdler Magical Zoe who beat her at Down Royal.

A confirmed front-runner who was just denied in similar company at Ballinrobe last time, NO NIKI NO can gain compensation. The Eoghan O'Neill-trained mare disappointed at Goodwood on her previous start but had gone close at Sligo on her seasonal reappearance prior to that. On a tight right-handed track that favours prominent racers, the eight-year-old has much to recommend her. Fairytale Princess, a winner at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, was behind No Niki No at Ballinrobe last time. However, at these revised weights the Ger Lyons-trained filly can make a race of it. Limerick Claiming race winner Hasten Slowly will need to improve in order to feature in this stronger grade but at least she arrives here in good form.

NO NIKI NO Is an uncomplicated ride and dominating a smaller field than she is used to encountering looks a distinct possibility. Fairytale Princess finished behind the selection last time but it was another very good effort, while Vidisha will be plugging on back in trip.

NO NIKI NO(nap)'s tactical speed will be a big asset at this track and she can confirm Ballinrobe with Fairytale Princess.

Runner-up to Dark Note here 12 months ago, EXPOUND may be able to turn the tables. Conceding 3lb to the winner on that occasion, the Denis Hogan-trained gelding can race off level weights now with Daniel King claiming an additional 5lb. Having opened his account in a Ballinrobe maiden last time, the five-year-old arrives here in winning form. The aforementioned Dark Note has to be a live contender given his proven ability to handle this track. Andrew Slattery's five-year-old was pulled up over fences last time but had been second over hurdles on his penultimate start. The Night Of Thunder gelding will almost certainly be prominent from the outset. Limerick winner Forlio has to have every chance with Colin Keane retaining the ride on the Paul Flynn-trained gelding.

EXPOUND is versatile as regards trip and having belatedly opened his account in a Ballinrobe maiden 2 weeks ago, he shades the vote to continue the good work returned to handicaps. Fellow last-time-out winner Desert Friend and last year's winner Dark Note head up the dangers, with Spy another to note.

There is probably a race of this standard to be won with SPY who has given the impression that this trip will help his cause

With the Kevin Prendergast stable hitting form of late, a chance is taken on BUTTERFLY GARDEN to add to her previous win at this venue. Successful off 7lb higher as a three-year-old, the daughter of Awtaad ran well subsequently off higher ratings. She has been off the track since an encouraging sixth at Dundalk back in February but has run well fresh in the past. Top-weight Metamorpheus rates a serious danger for the Paul Nolan stable. Fifth in a higher grade at Listowel last month, the gelding should be better suited to dropping back in trip here. No Trouble, who finished second at Bellewstown on Friday evening, should be involved if this race doesn't come too soon.

CHUTZPAL made an encouraging start for this yard following an absence of almost six months at Fairyhouse and he is a strong candidate with that run under his belt. It's been an awful long time since the 10-y-o Contrapposto registered his sole success on the Flat but he has to be feared off a lowly mark on the back of a victory over hurdles last week. No Trouble is best of the rest.

Having looked as if 2m was too far on handicap debut last time, METAMORPHEUS might be able to score down in trip and grade.

Bottom-weight RAIN is of interest. A step up to 2m saw her keep on for fifth in a valuable handicap at the Curragh and she looks well worth another crack over this distance. She has been placed four times in Ireland and did win over an extended 1m6f in France. Nostra Casa won over this trip at Thurles last season and that will really stand him in good stead for this test. Longclaw was well behind Rain at the Curragh, but should get to dictate his own fractions off the front in this small-field contest and is respected. Jabbar is markedly up in trip, but does know where the winning post is.

NARLITA was shaping up well towards the end of last season and she's likely to strip fitter for her reappearance, so she gets the nod ahead of Jabbar, who ran with credit at Roscommon last time. Rain should give another good account but doesn't appear to have much in hand.

A chance is taken on NARLITA to score up to a new trip. She handled this track when third in a maiden last year.

RAUZAN ran up a couple of victories over hurdles at this track and Downpatrick during May and June, so appeals off a mark of 61 on this return to the Flat. In addition, Wesley Joyce takes 5lb off his back. Calmafterthestorm came from a long way back to shed her maiden tag over an extended 1m4f in Down Royal, so you can see the reasoning behind the step up in trip. Grann's Boy is well versed in picking up prize money and another decent effort looks likely. Katzoff may only be rated 40, however, he was gambled on in a handicap hurdle at Cork and ran well in second which gives him a chance.

RAUZAN is handicapped to win in this sphere and has been thriving over hurdles, so he makes most appeal. A market move for Young Lucy with Colin Keane up would make that one very interesting. Grann's Boy and Calmafterthestorm arrive in good order and are feared.

A mistake two out proved costly for SPINNING WEB at Tipperary last week. Two Flat runs in May suggest he will be suited by this trip

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
