Clodagh McCarthy
Left qualifying runs well behind when making a successful handicap debut at Wexford (2½m) last month. Up 9 lb but he's unexposed and represents last year's winning jockey/trainer combination.

Dave Clerkin Racing Club
Ran well on return from 4-month break when 9¾ lengths fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Downpatrick in June, despite going through the race in a laboured fashion. Failed to see it out at Wexford last month but does have a handy mark to work with back hurdling.

Sean Maguire
Doubled tally in this race a year ago but profile is very much a hit-and-miss one. Probably needed his return at Roscommon and then held back by his jumping back over fences. Stablemate Who's Da Goose the choice of Jody Townend.

Pair of in-frame efforts in May/June and better than bare facts both starts since, left poorly placed as the race unfolded at Kilbeggan a month ago. This mark should be within range.
