Comment: Winner of a Tipperary Flat maiden on his third career start on yielding ground; good start to life over hurdles when chasing home a wide margin winner at Down Royal over 2m on yielding to soft (dual winner Hopes Are High behind in third); can improve again here.

7/4

Comment: Key player of the race who was booked for second on his first hurdling start before falling at the last; winner of a Roscommon Flat handicap following that mishap; looked like his fall had left a mark when returned to hurdles at Listowel last time, jumping awkwardly and ultimately doing well to finish 1.75l behind Hopes Are High; Combs had that rival behind previously but likely not at his best on that occasion; ground to suit.

Comment: Won a Flat maiden on very soft ground in France last October; decent start to Irish career when kept on for fifth at the Galway festival over an extended 1m4f (yielding); less promise in final Flat start at Killarney on good; makes hurdles debut and should be one of the main contenders here with ground to suit.

10/1

Comment: Best maiden hurdle run was a 17.5l beating at Roscommon on seasonal return in July (2m, good); well behind on the Flat at Galway in August and failed to land a blow on handicap debut at Killarney last time despite being well supported into 6-1 (2m4f, good); clearly more expected of him and claimer helps his burden.

Comment: Won a Down Royal handicap in March (2m4f, good) and didn't run badly off current mark next time at Downpatrick when fading into a distant third of 14 (2m6f, good); found to be lame when pulled up at Kilbeggan in April and pulled up once again on return to action in first try over fences at Tramore when never travelling.

Comment: Two-time Flat winner was a surprise victor of a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle (2m1f, yielding) last year when winning off 92 at 40-1; hasn't looked like adding to his total in three runs since (pulled up and tailed off twice from three starts); back to last winning mark and blinkers replace the previously worn cheekpieces.

Jockey: Phillip Enright Trainer: Mark Michael McNiff Age/Wt: 6/11-9 F: 9-4792 OR: 94

Comment: Placed in four of her eight bumper starts; ordinary maiden hurdle form but left that behind when keeping on well for second at Sligo in her first handicap over extended 2m1f (Tea It Is 2.75l behind in third); headgear combination tried that day left on; one of the likelier winners but best form on good.

Comment: 21-race maiden has generally middling form but strung two good performances together towards the backend of last year when a 1l third here (2m4f, yielding) and a 3l third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding); well beaten in four starts this year but perhaps return to this track can bring out her best; previously worn tongue-tie now left off.

Comment: Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt.

Comment: Winless since his second hurdles success in 2023, but has posted some good efforts this year; placed in first four starts of the season up to 3m on a variety of ground before a blip at Listowel last time when tailed off; thereabouts if back to his best.

8/1

Comment: Off the mark at the third attempt over fences in a C&D beginners' event on good ground last November; beaten 28l on his handicap chase debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve; much better when third over C&D in February; pulled up in Navan race won by Prince Palace and has not run since.

Comment: Four-time winner over fences, including at this venue; recorded the most recent of his two hurdle wins at Limerick in April; not as good in three chase starts before taking second place in two handicap hurdles at Sligo in August; a long time since his last chase win.

Comment: Two wins over hurdles for the late Edward O'Grady; placed on his first two attempts in handicaps over fences; hampered by fallers at the sixth fence at Listowel and seemed to lose confidence; should not be judged too harshly on that.

Comment: Started last season with a second placing behind Fleur In The Park in a maiden hurdle at Wexford; easy winner at Tipperary on his next start and showed decent form when raised in class; ended the campaign with a creditable fourth placing in the Martin Pipe; has the makings of a useful chaser.

Comment: Bumper winner; won a 2m Wexford maiden on seasonal debut almost a year ago, beating today's Tapontheogo; smart form in graded company later, notably when neck second to The Yellow Clay at Navan and 3/4l second to Mr Percy at Fairyhouse; held his own when third in 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown on final start; potentially smart recruit.
