Has become hard to predict but travelled a bit better than he often does when fifth in a first-time visor at Ballinrobe; cheekpieces back on now and trip looks too sharp. |

First reserve; won this last year off 9lb higher and then went close at Uttoxeter in a handicap chase the following month but has completely lost form since; yard amongst winners recently but he's hard to fancy on recent showings; new headgear combo needs to spark. |

Dual-purpose performer and prolific winner; up 6lb for Killarney 2m6f win, and no 5lb claim either, so a stifff task to follow up off a career-high mark, but he's never one to dismiss. |

Very solid dual purpose performer; campaigned on the Flat and over fences this year, winning the Cork Derby and second in a Kilbeggan beginners chase; reverts back to hurdles with the stable in cracking form and makes obvious appeal. |

A winner of ten races over hurdles and on the Flat; scored in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) on most recent start in this sphere; just 4lb higher now, handles better ground and has run well over hurdles here before; okay run over fences latest and can't discount back on the level. |

Winner of a point, a bumper and three races over hurdles; was returning from a 14-month absence when modest third of seven behind stablemates La Note Verte and Future Prospect at Tramore; second in mares' beginners' at Ballinrobe and soundly beaten at Sligo; cheekpieces added. |

Bumper and three hurdle wins; former point winner was returning from 14-month absence when modest third of seven behind a stablemate at Tramore; sent off favourite when second in mares' beginners' at Ballinrobe (23.5f; favourite) latest; receives plenty of weight from the field and should go well. |

Three wins include 2m6f handicap here last year; former points' winner was returning from 14-month absence when modest enough third of seven behind a stablemate and favourite on chase debut at Tramore last month; seems sure to have come on for that experience and likely the one to beat. |

Very useful handicap hurdler in Ireland when on song but not at same level on his three chasing attempts, and looked very unenthusiastic when third in four-runner beginners' event at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good) in July; swaps blinkers for first-time visor on this stable debut; will probably need to travel with much greater zest. |
