James Nolan Bar Kildare Nursery Handicap

Lars Soldier was a winner three starts back and third last time out, form that stands out in this field. He has run over today's distance before, and despite 52 days off, he looks clear of these on figures from stall 6.

Consistently placed in recent starts, third last time out and second two starts back, a leading threat here. He has run over today's distance before and is fit having run 16 days ago, though he remains winless in his last four starts from stall 1.

Desert Alchemist was placed third three starts back but has since finished sixth and eighth, a mixed picture heading into this. He has run over today's distance before and returns 23 days after that run, leaving him a fair midfield contender from stall 3.

I Ready is rated above his official mark on our figures and is quick to return, just 8 days after his latest outing. He has run over today's distance before, but his recent form reads eighth, fifth and sixth, leaving him winless in his last three starts.

Seven Nation Army's recent form of sixth and two eighths is modest, and a 61-day absence adds to the concern. The yard is in good form though, striking at 36% over the last fortnight, and he has run over today's distance before from stall 7.
