Off the mark over fences at fifth attempt when taking decent 2m3f Kilbeggan beginners' event last month, staying on well to assert late on (first two clear); drop back to 2m may not be ideal on such quick ground. |

Hurdle winner has run some solid races in four chase starts, notably in a hot Leopardstown handicap last time in first-time cheekpieces; a repeat of that run will see him closely involved. |

Ex-Irish 7yo who readily drew clear to win in lower-grade company here (2m5f, good) in June, his fifth start for Gary Hanmer; also ran well at Cartmel last month and ought to be in the thick of things again. |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; mixed record under both codes for current yard but he returned to form with a stylish win over fences at Stratford (2m5f, good) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but that was a personal best last time and he still looks feasibly treated. |

Maiden hurdle and two-time point winner (including on heavy ground) who was runner-up in a hunter chase at Warwick (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; that performance reads well in today's context and he's a key player in first-time cheekpieces. |

Ex-Irish 6yo who is only 1-11 over fences, the win gained at Ffos Las (2m3f; stable debut) in May; has failed to back up that form in two subsequent starts (had further wind surgery since latest) and looks more exposed than these rivals. |

Ex-Irish 6yo who was given a wind op before winning quite stylishly on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in May; disappointed when favourite to follow up at Bangor last month but could plausibly still have more improvement to come for this stable; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Three 1m5f/1m4f handicap wins when making most last year; easily her most competitive show this term when never-nearer second at Killarney (extended 1m6f, yielding to soft) last time; that's the furthest she's been on the Flat and gives hope for this longer trip; acts on heavy; one to consider. |

Had become a frustrating operator prior to Kilbeggan beginners win, and backed it up with another decent third at same 15-days ago, although his jumping was a bit suspect at times in the latter; his rating alone, allied with his rider's valuable 5lb claim, suggests big things here, and it will be no surprise if he lands the top step of the podium. |
