Thoroughly consistent performer this year at up to 3m with three wins and possibly put up a career best when touched off in a 3m handicap hurdle at Gowran last month; drop back in trip is not a problem and the stable continues in fine form; should go close. |

Out-and-out stayer has been generally running well of late, staying on at the finish over this trip at the Curragh last week; respected but perhaps others better handicapped right now. |

Dual-purpose; three-time Flat winner is 0-9 over timber; hasn't looked like a winner on waiting on his last two starts; the first-time blinkers need to have a transformative effect. |

Didn't make the cut for the amateur handicap over 2m1f at Galway where she ran well in 1m4f handicap at last year's festival; good comeback over 1m5f at Navan in April and missed 1m7f engagement last month due to quick ground; trainer obviously thinks she'll stay and chance under talented claimer if she can get her toe in. |

Close up when placed in two run-of-the-mill handicap hurdles this season (2m2f/2m) but he's 0-12 in this sphere now and his two Flat runs in September were disappointing; needs to raise his game. |

Won twice on AW earlier this year, including over C&D, and some solid runs in defeat since; not at his best last time but a chance if back to form. |

Dual AW winner at up to 1m4f but hasn't fared well in two attempts over further than that which has to be a concern over this marathon trip. |

Maiden has run well several times over various trips, including at this track; didn't stay 2m2f at Down Royal but was tailed-off over 1m4f at Bellewstown last time; chance if bouncing back. |

Modest form including when remote fourth of five in decent 2m1f contest at Killarney; hard to fancy on handicap debut. |
