Smart at his best, once had a rating of 110; nothing like the horse he was but has found plenty of excuses not to win as well; didn't fare that well on his claimer debut last month but capable of better. |

Has won twice at 7f, on the sand at Laytown and on good to firm in a Gowran claimer but he has run okay on soft before; soundly beaten when last seen here in October (6f, sft-hvy); probably best watched. |

Three-time Dundalk winner who left behind a couple of below-par efforts back to Polytrack over C&D last week, when losing out on the nod from a wide stall; another furlong is perhaps optimal but a strongly run race over this trip is fine. |

Good record on AW at Dundalk when trained in Ireland; made successful stable debut at Doncaster but below that level since; this would be easier than of late but he's drawn wide and others appeal more. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

Gained a second win over this trip at Leopardstown last season and successful over 1m since; back to form with 1l defeat at Gowran in July but couldn't build on that a fortnight ago; should be suited by the surface and Patrick Mullins is an eyecatching jockey booking; interesting contender despite not looking particularly well treated at present. |

Almost two years since he gained the last of his six wins (four at this venue); has been slow to come down the handicap but there was encouragement from his run last time and he could be a player. |
