13/8
Dual winner for James Horton last year and off the mark at first time of asking for new yard when taking 7-runner handicap over C&D 21 days ago. 7 lb higher now but must enter calculations.
12/1
Completed a hat-trick over C&D in March. Largely struggled on turf since but is only 2 lb higher than his last winning mark so must be respected back at this venue.
8/1
Ended long losing over longer trip at Clonmel last month and ran to similar level when good fifth of 17 in handicap at Naas (2m, soft, 33/1) 19 days ago. Should go well again, although drop back in trip may not be ideal.
10/1
Opened account for the season with a comfortable success at Down Royal last month and followed up in Roscommon handicap earlier this month. Far from disgraced at Leopardstown since but may be in handicapper’s grip now.
3/1
Opened account at Roscommon in June and acquitted himself well since, finding further improvement when close second of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (1¼m, good to soft, 11/2) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Likely contender.
12/1
Not scored for some time but made the frame last 2 starts on Flat and arrives on back of career-best effort over hurdles at Gowran. Warrants respect.
33/1
Switched to blinkers, bounced back to form returned to more positive tactics when winning 10-runner maiden over C&D in February. Not seen since, though, and has more on his plate back handicapping here. Cheekpieces back on.
13/2
Posted personal best when opening his account in 18-runner handicap at Navan (1¾m, good, 8/1) in August. Below that level at Listowel since but remains relatively low mileage.
22/1
Course winner but yet to score this year and others appeal more despite his tumbling mark. Visor on first time.
