9st 3lb |
8yo who has been up and down this year and was soundly beaten at Longchamp (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; however, he's won two big-field handicaps this season at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding) in July and at the Curragh (1m2f, good) last month, and this Irish challenger is not discounted. |

Prominent racer's three wins have all come at Cork, including this race last year; gradual return to form of late in Curragh contests and seems primed for anther good run here (rain would suit). |

Prominent racer's three wins have come at Cork; has run well over C&D and is capable off this mark; this season's form hasn't been great but if the forecast rain comes, he may well revive. |

Reappeared with a C&D win in April (14-1) but she's not hit the same level since and was beaten 10l at Thirsk last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but she needs another bolt from the blue. |

11st 4lb |
0-4 over hurdles but has shown considerable ability in this code, finishing second in a maiden at Wexford (2m1f, good) in August; runner-up on the Flat since and he's fine on good ground; sets a good standard for the promising hurdling newcomers to aim at. |

Four-time winner; last victory came on penultimate start at the Curragh off 80 (1m, good); no impact off revised rating back there on latest start (2.25l behind Narmar); remains 3lb above his last winning mark and others have more pressing claims. |

8st 11lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick last summer at around 1m and better again when second in C&D conditions event in September; two poor runs this term however so hard to be confident in and wants easier ground. |
