The veteran has won seven races, including this race last year at 28-1; has run well behind several good yardsticks this season; could go close in his repeat bid following a 0.5l second of 16 over 1m here 11 days ago. |

Veteran has won seven races up to 1m4f; won this two years ago and latest win was over 7f last October; mostly solid efforts in defeat lately, although never involved back over this trip at Galway earlier this month; good ground and a wide draw do him few favours, and others look a bit more likely. |

Three-time Flat winner, went up 11lb for a convincing success in a 1m4f handicap at Tramore last month; subsequent runs in a Flat handicap at Galway and a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan raise significant doubts; well enough treated by the race conditions if recapturing form. |

Bagged back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Gowran in October last year on softer conditions; back to form at Gowran on heavy ground when reeled in late last time (1m, heavy); 4lb hike for last run seems harsh but cheekpieces on now and can go well. |
