5lb lower over hurdles despite having won four times over flights; put in a rare sub-standard display over fences at Kilbeggan early this month; stays well but does have to bounce back from that poor effort.

1-13 over fences, the win coming in a beginners' here over 25.5f in July; two respectable runs in handicaps since, 14l fourth in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good) and 12l second behind A Wave Of The Sea here (3m2f) two weeks ago; this trip may be too sharp.

Four wins over hurdles; C&D chase winner last month, much too strong for Scalpanagoon; ran well to finish fourth in a higher grade in the Galway Blazers; has improved since finishing behind The Dara Man here in May; Dara McGill's 7lb claim is a help.

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-9 as a chaser, though runner-up three times; has been rather hit and miss this year over various trips and he's 3lb wrong at the weights.

Well held behind William Tell and Nadia's Boy in a 2m beginners' here in June; no match for Charlie Luciano upped to 25.5f at Kilbeggan latest; this trip more suitable but he's 0-7 over fences now and needs to find more to get his head in front.

Two-time winning hurdler rated 10lb higher in that sphere but that is for a reason; heavy defeats in all five chase starts and best form on good ground so the forecast rain is a worry; others appeal more.

T: L Young

Winning pointer rated just 90 over hurdles but was an encouraging 6.5l third on his chase debut, keeping on over 2m4f (yielding) at Kilbeggan and earning an RPR of 117; weakened when upped to 25.5f back there latest and now drops markedly back in trip; this may be too sharp a test.

Bumper winner; yet to show much over fences and his second here on latest was an extremely remote one (beaten 70l, just two finished); cheekpieces go on now for handicap chase debut; not easy to make a case for.
