Form & Verdict

Hardy sort and quite capable at his own level, but getting on in years and is likely to be way out of his league here.

Form & Verdict

Three-time winning hurdler already a better chaser on the books after three starts (one win) but lacks a recent tune-up and has plenty to find to worry the mains players here; a likely stepping stone to future assignments.

Form & Verdict

Looked to have a really bright future over fences when coming up trumps in a Galway beginners last year but pulled up in four of his five subsequent starts (coughing post race last time); difficult one to work out, but clearly has a good engine when ticking over properly, and way too early to leave out of calculations.

Form & Verdict

3-17 over fences and whilst he has 10lb to find on the books with Cape Gentleman, he has as good a chance as any of his opponents of toppling him after bouncing back to form in good-class 2m4f handicap at Killarney on Saturday; conections will be hoping the trip might be a bit sharp for the market leader; has sporting chance.
