A leading contender fresh from a narrow defeat off this mark at Fairyhouse, having landed a similar prize among his last five starts; proven over today's trip and ground, he wears cheekpieces for the first time, though his yard's alarming 0-from-22 spell is the query.

Modest recent form with five finishes off the frame, though this gelding has landed on the Flat before and was only beaten a short way off this mark at Fairyhouse last time. At his best short of this trip, stamina for today's longer test is the query despite prior experience over it.

Consistently in mid-division without threatening the frame, this gelding's level form continued when beaten a couple of lengths off this mark at Fairyhouse last time. Already proven over today's trip and going, he handles a sound surface at this range, though little suggests an imminent turnaround.

Out of sorts in both codes recently, this gelding owns one of the strongest speed figures in the field and his connections landed this race last year; first-time blinkers may sharpen him, proven over today's trip and going, though a run of finishes off the frame is the concern.

A win among recent starts shows this filly retains ability, helped by a stable in good form and already-proven form over today's trip and going; but a sluggish, well-beaten effort at The Curragh last time, a near nine-month absence and a first-time tongue-tie leave plenty to prove.

A confirmed front-runner, this gelding owns the fastest figure in the race and landed one of his last four starts, though his form over fences has proved hit-and-miss. A first-time visor goes on and he already holds experience over today's trip and going, with an uncontested lead his best asset.

Struggling in handicap company of late, with five finishes well off the frame including a well-beaten effort from a poor start at Down Royal last time, this gelding is hard to fancy; today's trip and going are at least proven, and a first-time tongue-tie is the one source of encouragement.

Fresh from a break, this gelding matched his level but was well held in a handicap hurdle last time, extending a run of finishes off the frame. A well-tried Flat maiden switched between distances, he holds experience over today's ground yet remains one to watch rather than fully back.

With little to inspire confidence, this filly was well beaten again down the field in a handicap at Cork most recently and remains without a win in five runs; cheekpieces are added for the first time and she owns experience over today's going, with a track-savvy rider aboard the main source of hope.

Comfortably the form pick on our figures and open to improvement given the near ten-month break since a well-held run at The Curragh; barely proven beyond a mile but takes this going in his stride, and remains without a win in his last four starts.

Out of sorts in both codes recently, well held again when unplaced in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time and without a win in his last four starts; a runner-up effort further back offers a little hope, and first-time cheekpieces are the only fresh angle to note.

Showing little in either code so far, this filly was beaten well again in a handicap at Leopardstown last time and remains without a win in five starts; she does hold today's trip and going already, but there's little to inspire confidence.
