Form & Verdict
Easy Punchestown maiden winner despite racing keenly and jumping to his left; again keen when beaten favourite both starts since in novice company, at Galway and when readily brushed aside after some indifferent jumps on softer ground at Listowel; clearly needs to settle and jump better.

Represents top Irish jumps trainer Willie Mullins; won a Grade 3 hurdle at Tipperary last October and he's posted easy wins on the Dundalk AW on his last two starts (1m4f/10.6f); has a lofty mark to defy now back in a handicap but he may well prove capable in view of his impressive winter form.

Very smart hurdler, winning Tipperary Grade 3 in October; very keen when fourth on 2m AW debut in November; settled much better when forging clear to win 1m4f course handicap by 6l next time; must have strong credentials again.

Grade 3 winner at Naas in March before fourth behind stablemate Irancy in Fairyhouse Grade 2; made a lot of the running before fading into fourth in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival; was trying to concede 9lb to the winner Jesse Evans when fourth in a Grade 3 event at Tipperary four weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Very useful on the Flat (Listed winner over 1m2f in March) and off the mark over hurdles at fourth attempt in ordinary enough 2m Wexford maiden in August on good; relishes soft/heavy on the Flat so could well find required improvement to play a role here if the rain arrives.

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him.

Form & Verdict
Front-running mare progressing nicely over hurdles, winning 2m6f Killarney maiden in May (yielding) and better form when runner-up in all three starts since, last two in staying handicaps at Galway and Killarney; big drop in trip here but should make a bold bid (handles soft).

Point winner has been running consistently over fences this season, runner-up in two mares' beginners' before a comfortable win at Ballinrobe in September (2m7f, soft); outclassed in Graded company, but in between those efforts she ran respectably in a four-runner contest around here in October when third; makes handicap chase debut now.

1-11 over hurdles and rated 116, so not in the same league as the principals here; has made a bright start over fences but this is way tougher than winning a mares' race at Ballinrobe over much further.
