Two wins here, a 1m2f maiden in October and when making most to win a 1m4f handicap last week; previous try over this trip though was far from convincing; might have a chance if he can be held up effectively.

Three-time winner on the AW for Adrian Murray; second in a Dundalk claimer for his current yard on his penultimate start; reportedly burst over hurdles at Down Royal last time; others more likely.

Three AW wins for Adrian Murray; beaten 8l when second in a Dundalk claimer on last Flat start in March; pulled up over hurdles at Down Royal on latest; cheekpieces added to tongue tie; a bit to prove on grass.

Second runner for yard; three-time AW winner ran well enough on that surface on second start for this yard; was well below his best on sole turf run, but has the class to run well if jumping soundly.

Showed some ability in bumpers before getting up on the line to win a very ordinary 1m4f maiden here last month; will likely appreciate stepping up in trip but a mark of 80 would not appear overly generous.

Just 1m4f AW maiden win to his name but arrives on the back of two fine runs on turf, had the run of the race when pipped over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race) and again made plenty of use of when third in 1m3f Naas handicap early this month; definite claims back up in trip.

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; however, he is vulnerable as a 12-year-old in such a competitive handicap; has usually shown his best form on a sound surface.

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider.

Seven wins under all codes and returned from a short break in fine fettle to beat Jerandme by six-and-a-half lengths; 5lb rise for that gives him a fair chance of following up with an excellent 5lb claimer on board.
