J: Carl Millar

T: Cian Collins

Won a non-event over hurdles by a street at Kelso in May, beating only other rival to stand up; pulled up over fences at Wexford next time before runner-up in C&D handicap hurdle 18 days ago; prominent racer can make the odd mistake but he's in the mix.

Won a non-event over hurdles by a street at Kelso in May, beating only other rival to stand up; back over hurdles following a less than fluent chasing bow at Wexford last time; others more appealing.

J: Alan O’Sullivan

T: T Hogan

Won at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) in July off 9lb lower; after a blip at Galway has rebounded with solid runs at Down Royal and Kilbeggan, beaten just 0.5l in the latter race 15 days ago; nudged up another 3lb but should go well again.

11st 0lb

J: Donagh Meyler

T: T Hogan

Flat-bred likes good ground and had some good runs in defeat in bumpers; easily won Bellewstown maiden hurdle in July; had an excuse (scoped wrong) when bombed out as favourite for a Galway handicap; reassuring display when third over 2m1f at Down Royal a week ago, where he just ran out of steam late on having travelled well; easy two miles here should suit.

Back to form in winning a Tramore maiden hurdle and backed that up with a 3l third of 18 over 1m4f at Cork; returning to further is probably a good move and claimer takes 7lb off his back this time.

Poor in two Flat runs on return from a break but bounced back with a maiden hurdle win at Tramore on latest; that will have boosted confidence but this trip may be on the sharp side back on the level.

St Lawrences Well

10st 13lb

J: Kevin Healy

T: Declan Queally

Course bumper winner (19.5f, good) has yet to show a whole lot over hurdles; best effort came in a four runner novice at Cork (3m good) when a 15l second to stablemate Tackletommywoowoo; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and also lacks a recent run.
