Eight wins including once over C&D; some fine runs in defeat since winning at Naas on return this term; probably found the ground a bit quick at Leopardstown last time; is better here too but rain would help. |

Fine stalwart has won eight races, including seasonal return at Naas in March (7f, soft-to-heavy); below best of late but reduced mark now and soft ground so could improve on recent form. |

Three-time winner on turf at 6f-6.5f with all three victories coming on soft or heavy ground; has gone well on good ground, however, including when beaten a neck in this race last year off 11lb higher; below best latest but may have needed that and he could go well at a price. |

Has gradually come to hand for new stable and made all, unchallenged, over C&D (good) most recently; 3lb ahead of the assessor under a penalty but another easy lead isn't certain; back up two grades. |

Surprise winner of a Cork handicap in September (6f) and ran well over C&D when fourth in November; changed hands for 135,000 gns and made a successful yard debut at Gowran, winning by 0.75l from Gypsy Woman over this trip; 8lb rise makes things tough but definite claims. |

Grand old servant who is stuck on a 16-race losing streak; disappointed at Gowran this month but stamina was stretched over a mile on the day; he's well treated now and has won around here in the past but the percentage call is to oppose. |

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; resurgent of late off much reduced mark, gaining second win from last three starts when running out a decisive scorer over 7f a week ago; up an aggregate of 21lb for those two wins so needs to step up again off highest mark in 18 months; first AW attempt at 1m. |

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; holding his form at a much lower level nowadays, hit with a 10lb rise for C&D success last month and better again when second to a stablemate off this mark since; should be thereabouts. |

Consistent handicapper last season; last win came at Galway festival over 1m on soft in July; good effort over C&D when short head second in Irish Cambridgeshire in August; acts on all ground; last two hurdle runs of limited significance and should be fitter than most after them. |

Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

Most recent win came in this race last year from a 1lb higher mark (1m, good); has worn a hood on his last two starts, which has resulted in a pair of seconds at 7f/1m; chance returned to the scene of his win wearing the hood. |

Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |
