14yo veteran won on return from six months off at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; not as good twice since including on latest over C&D; needs more off this mark. |

This 14yo retains plenty of enthusiasm and after going up 7lb for his win at Down Royal (3m2f, good) he stuck to his guns to make the frame there a month ago; has won here over hurdles and should go well again. |

12yo who has won four times over fences but there were more bad runs than good ones in Ireland last year; on workable mark in suitable conditions but he was tailed off when last seen in October and needs a major revival for new yard. |

One of three for trainer; off the mark when winning this race last year (good); nearly made it back-to-back C&D victories when beaten a neck on seasonal return in May (good, 11-1); up 2lb but he should come on for that run and O'Keeffe now rides for the first time. |
