9st 4lb |
Dangerous when gets his favoured soft conditions, as he did when bolting up at Bellewstown in October; however, he's never won off a mark this high, he lacks a run and this ground may be on the lively side. |

9st 11lb |
Gained sixth win of his career at Bellewstown on penultimate (12.5f, soft); beaten off revised mark off 77 latest but he'll relish testing conditions if the rain comes and he's gone well here before. |

C&D winner in May (good) and went in again at Bellewstown (1m4f, soft) 12 days ago when merely pushed out for a 5l verdict; the 8lb rise asks a question but should give it his best shot. |

Six-time AW winner is 0-19 on turf; hasn't looked like ending that winless run on last three starts, beaten 13l at Navan on latest; others hold stronger claims. |

Front-runner rated 69 after nine starts on the Flat; beaten 1l off that mark in a 1m4f Roscommon handicap (good) on seasonal reappearance last month; finished second in this race last year behind Magical Zoe; unlikely to get an uncontested lead here but she has place claims. |

Yet to place in 14 starts but one of her better runs was over C&D last year and bit of encouragement last time at Ballinrobe, never a factor after being baulked from stalls but some late headway over 9.5f. |

Comfortable Cork maiden hurdle winner (good) has been running consistently in handicaps; placed on her last four starts and did not seem inconvenienced by heavy ground when second to Cousin Kate at Limerick; fair chance of reversing form on these terms. |
