Although beaten in the last two editions of this won by Stratum, he was under 2l away 12 months ago and drying ground will aid his cause no end; good and bad under both codes in the meantime but he's one who won't be fazed by this unique test. |

Made up a lot of ground when close second of 20 at Galway (2m1f, heavy) in July and came from last to first in authoritative style at Ascot's Shergar Cup (2m, good to soft); form dipped when seventh in the Irish Cesarewitch and to win this demands a career best but the test may well suit him. |

Absent four years before looking as good as ever for new yard this term, best of that form when coming from off the pace, and he tried to come from way back when eighth at 50-1 in the Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f, soft) three weeks ago; not totally ruled out despite currently looking on a tough mark. |

Brother to 2017 St Leger and Irish Derby winner Capri; well held in good company in his two runs on testing ground; has since won a 1m4f Listed race at Leopardstown and in smooth style in the 1m5f Ulster Derby (handicap) at Down Royal, before confirming himself a smart colt when pipped in 1m5f Group 3 at Newmarket; lines through his two rivals in that tight finish show he has a little to find, but this trip can help and he has each-way claims. |

Big-race entries include Goodwood Cup and Great Voltigeur; brother to St Leger and Irish Derby winner Capri; unraced on firmer than good; first four runs at Leopardstown, well held in two Group races before 1m4f Listed win in June; it's his latest start, however, when smooth winner of 1m5f Ulster Derby (handicap) at Down Royal, which puts him into serious contention. |

Useful Flat horse who won a Class 2 handicap over 1m6f on soft at Doncaster in September (twice below that level since); beaten off 2lb higher on his handicap hurdle debut in February (good) but entitled to improve on that form under these conditions, especially on only his fourth run over hurdles; has won a novice; interesting. |

Smart dual-purpose sort has won 11 races under all codes; has run mostly on the Flat in the last two years and ran a corker when second at Galway last week; couldn't handle testing ground at Auteuil when last seen over hurdles in November but this will suit better; the pick of Paul Townend. |

Won the Adonis last season before hitting the frame in an Aintree Grade 1 and finishing 8l behind Lossiemouth at Punchestown; improved form has come on decent ground and has to give a decent chunk of weight to his rivals back down in class. |

Used to act on soft; short-headed off this mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f) in 2021 but tailed-off favourite in this race that October; not seen again until a satisfactory return this August but he was tailed off in the Irish Cesarewitch (50-1, helped set the pace) three weeks ago. |

Smart hurdler who landed the Boodles at Cheltenham in 2022 and added a Naas Grade 3 to his CV last November; below-par in three runs since and was well held over a mile in a Killarney handicap last month; this longer trip will suit and he is capable of better; engaged here in 5.05 Thursday. |

Three-time winner over hurdles, including the Fred Winter at Cheltenham in 2022 and a Grade 3 at Naas in November; form fell away a bit after that but encouraging return in a 1m Flat handicap at Killarney two weeks ago; new headgear tried today and looks the owner's first choice. |

Useful form in Germany prior to first start for Gordon Elliott when finishing eighth in a 1m2f handicap at Leopardstown; took a step forward at Ascot when only beaten roughly 3l into fifth in the Ascot Stakes; claims based on that effort if the drop in trip doesn't inconvenience him. |

Useful form in Germany last season, winning over 1m2f (soft) and 1m3f (good to soft); 14-1 and ridden by 7lb claimer when making debut for new yard at Leopardstown (soft to heavy) in early May, running on in mid-division as if 1m2f was definitely now too short for him; this trip is a huge step up but there is stamina in the pedigree. |
