Well supported when going down narrowly on return at Gowran in May and showed why 4 months on when making no mistake taking on his elders for the first time at Punchestown (9f) 3 weeks ago. Up 5 lb but could still have more to offer now that he's up and running and this longer trip will suit.

Dropped in grade for only his second handicap start and showed much more than previously when second at Down Royal (11f) last week, the race not getting to the bottom of him. Suddenly interesting after that.

Has shown plenty in maidens at up to 1½m and looks the type to do better in handicaps. One to note.

Has made a fair start in 1½m maidens and remains with potential now sent handicapping.

Took a step back in the right direction on handicap debut when fourth at Galway (1½m) last month. Bred to be useful for leading connections and may yet do better. Cheekpieces are fitted.

Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced when fifth at Punchestown (9f) 3 weeks ago, ridden closer to the pace than ideal in first-time blinkers after 3 months off. Should come on for that and worth a look back up in distance.

Won at Gowran this time last year but didn't fire in 3 runs earlier this season and steps up in trip back from 126 days off now.

Hit the frame in a pair of maidens at Fairyhouse in June and returned to form in Listowel handicap over this trip a fortnight ago. Could have a race in him on that showing.

Down the field in maidens, given a considerate time of things after 7 months off at Clonmel 3 weeks ago. Could do a lot better now handicapping up in trip.

Shaped with promise in maidens last year and didn't get clearest of runs when eighth on return/handicap debut at Roscommon. Shaped as if amiss at Leopardstown (1m) next time though and not seen since. Significantly up in trip.

Improved for application of cheekpieces when an 8-length second of 10 in handicap at Sligo (13.3f) in August, but failed to back that up at Navan last time. This looks tough and others are preferred.
