Form & Verdict
Dual winning pointer was runner-up to a useful type in a rated novice (3m1f) here in January and fourth in Limerick Grade 3 in March; flattered by both of those formlines but should be sharper for mid-field return at Listowel and not without some chance.

Not a great strike rate but on song on latest when readily landing 3m1f Fairyhouse handicap last month in first-time blinkers; raised 12lb for that but still 12lb out of handicap here so plenty on his plate.

Promise here on seasonal reappearance; failed to build on that on next four starts but signs of a revival when staying on for a 9.5l fourth back here (3m, heavy) on latest; blinkers could eke out more but he's 7lb wrong and looks up against it.

Form & Verdict
Dual hurdles winner has gone close several times in similar contests including when beaten short-head at this track last year and half a length under this rider at Listowel (3m) last time; latest form boosted by third and entitled to come on from the run having been off for the summer.

Form & Verdict
Strong stayer; consistent since finally making the breakthrough over fences at Wexford in May and form of latest second at Kilbeggan has worked out; goes well for this rider but record at this venue wouldn't instill you with confidence.

Former C&D winner won at Down Royal off a mark of 109 in May; below par at Roscommon off 5lb higher subsequently and then pulled up here two weeks ago; hard to fancy after that effort and may need to drop back down the weights.

Nicely on top over 3m2f at Down Royal (good; 5lb lower) but her jumping didn't really stand the test in Roscommon's Connacht National; each-way claims if finding greater fluency this afternoon.

Four-time hurdle winner, including here, and rated a stone higher in that discipline; unexposed over fences, won Kilbeggan handicap on chase debut last year and went close over 2m5f here in January; needs to recapture form after break but decent record when fresh.

Numerous placings over both hurdles and fences but regressive in the spring over fences, recent Punchestown hurdles run none too encouraging either; handicapper giving him every chance but hard to be confident in.
