11st 9lb |
Runner-up in 2m6f handicap at last year's festival before winning 2m2f maiden at Downpatrick (yielding); has struggled a bit since in handicaps and others look better handicapped right now. |

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. |

Cosy Ffos Las winner (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower); it isn't easy to quantify that form, but she ran as well (if not slightly better based on RPRs) when runner-up in returning cheekpieces at Uttoxeter latest; back up in trip with Rian Corcoran's services retained; chance. |

Dual-purpose maiden went closest to scoring when just denied in a 2m6f novice handicap here last October (yielding) off 1lb higher; absent since December but on a nice mark and any market support could be significant, although drop in trip could be an issue. |

Rated 69 on the Flat; built on a middling hurdles debut at Listowel to finish an 8l fourth of seven at Down Royal when running too keenly and fading late on (2m4f, good to firm); return to this distance may suit and not totally ruled out. |

Off for five months before he was sent off favourite for a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick in May; possibly did not quite see out the trip on that occasion; debuts for Noel Kelly here after a further four-month absence and the drop in trip should suit; big player. |
