A progressive hurdler switching to the level, this gelding's only success in this sample came at a similar trip, and he looks fairly treated on his Flat mark with scope still up in distance. A leading rider takes over after a break, and conditions look to suit.

Second in our ratings, this gelding was a close third last time and looks well treated on the balance of his form across codes. He wants a sound surface and stays two miles well, with the assessor yet to catch up, making him a big threat to the selection.

This gelding has been below form of late, well beaten last time. A sound surface suits and he arrives race-fit, but today's marathon trip stretches beyond his proven range and current form keeps confidence limited.

First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces for this gelding, who landed a handicap four starts back and has stayed competitive since, including a close second next time out. A recent fourth still shows ability, and with scope over longer trips untapped, he remains a leading contender today.

This gelding ran arguably his best recent race when second last time, and he has today's trip and going covered. A long losing run is the obvious concern, but there are signs of a recovery.

A near five-month absence follows what looked her best form to date, coming home clear up in trip last time. Sound ground and this sort of trip both suit, and she remains fairly consistent, though the lengthy layoff raises the obvious fitness question here.

Third in our ratings and clear of her official mark, this mare met trouble when well beaten at Gowran Park last time, a result not to be taken at face value. Freshened by weeks off and effective at today's trip, there's real scope for a bounce back.

At the head of our figures, albeit narrowly, this gelding is unproven as a Flat maiden and was well held on his fencing debut last time, though a yard in good order lends encouragement. Without a win in this sequence, the scope on offer still makes him hard to leave out.

A pair of seconds feature among recent efforts, and the below-par run down the field last time looks forgivable given how well he'd been going before it. Turf form is a slight question with his best work on the all-weather, but today's trip and ground are proven to suit.

Bottom of our ratings, this gelding was well beaten last time and a demanding mark makes his switch to the level a tough ask on paper. He did land a handicap hurdle four starts back and is versatile on ground, but the concerns here are obvious, leaving plenty to prove.

First-time visor for this gelding, who has useful jumps form but could only manage a subdued Flat return at Leopardstown last time. He remains unexposed in handicap company on the level, and a sound surface at today's trip should suit, leaving room for more to come.
