Whatsafellatodo
Won a handicap chase by 6l off 105 at Ballinrobe in May (19.5f, good); sound effort when a 7.75l third in a handicap hurdle over this C&D in July off 107 and is 2lb lower now; freshened up since a below par run at Kilbeggan; drying ground will suit and not without a chance.

Liberated Light
Dual-purpose; 1-8 on the Flat; best effort to date over timber last time when beaten 4l into third at Cork (18.5f, good) off 103; up 1lb for that and can't be discounted dropped back in trip.

Only A Dollar
1-8 over hurdles; that win came by 6l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel (2m, yielding) in May; tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Cork last month and hard to fancy after that run; hood goes back on.

Dream Shaper
Locally trained; 0-13 under Rules and 0-3 in maiden hurdles; best effort came last time out when beaten 12.5l at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft); potential improver on handicap debut.

Burru
Improved form since returning from a break; third in last three handicap hurdles at 2m4f on good ground; up 1lb after 3.75l defeat at Killarney last month; ran well in a C&D maiden last October; an interesting runner dropping back in trip with Blackmore up.

The Vegas Raider
Won off 94 at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft) on his penultimate start; beaten 13l upped to 2m4f at Killarney off revised mark of 100 latest; return to this trip will suit and acts on good ground; can't fully discount.

Benzine
Dual-purpose eight race maiden (0-4 over hurdles); wasn't a terrible effort on the Flat last time at Cork; glimmer of ability in maiden hurdles and could improve on handicap debut back from a break.

Makfils
Off the mark over timber off 92 in Punchestown maiden in May (2m, good to yielding); up 8lb and no impact in two subsequent starts; dropped 1lb after last run but may need a bit more help from the handicapper.

Michal
0-5 over hurdles but has ability; best effort over timber came when beaten 11l in a Cork maiden over 2m3f in May; not so good last time at Kilbeggan; drops in trip for handicap debut off a mark of 99 and is a potential improver.

Tomas O Maille
First of two runners for yard; 0-14 over hurdles but has placed on numerous occasions, including a second in this race last year off 100 and is 1lb lower now (Gekkota third); solid effort last time when runner up at Ballinrobe (2m1f, yielding to soft); leading claims here.

5/1 |
Granpa Ger
0-10 over hurdles but is in good form; runner up the last twice at Wexford (16.5f, good) and Tramore (2m, good to yielding); didn't get the clearest of runs last time and he should be in the shake up again off 2lb higher once the rain stays away.

Wee Charlie
1-12 over hurdles but that win came in March 2023; lost form for Tom Gibney and is still 5lb above his last winning mark; beaten 20l over C&D last time out; best watched on first start for new stable.

Gekkota
Third in this race last year, beaten 12l off 102; 3lb better off with the runner up Tomas O Maille for a 1l margin so weighted to turn that form around; shaped okay last time over 20.5f at Wexford and now drops back in trip; drying ground will suit and he is another with claims.

Only One Plan
1-21 over hurdles; bumped into well handicapped rival at Downpatrick in June; posted another sound effort when beaten just 2.75l into third off 97 at Ballinrobe in July and same mark here; jumped poorly at Cork last time but could bounce back; each way claims.

Targa Flavio
0-4 in maiden hurdles; best effort came when beaten 26l at Roscommon last month; potential improver now switching to handicaps but may be suited by further on breeding; probably best watched for now.

Glentruan
Second runner for yard; 2-18 over hurdles but hasn't won since December 2021; hasn't shown enough in three starts for this stable to fancy here and Tomas O Maille looks their main hope.

10/1 |
In For The Night
0-10 over timber but has shown enough to suggest he can win a race; was only a nose behind Tomas O Maille when finishing third at Ballinrobe last time and has place claims again at least off the same mark.

Mephisto
Dual-purpose; 0-12 over hurdles but was narrowly denied last time out at Sligo (17.5f, soft), beaten a neck off 91; up 3lb now but can be in the shake up again here if repeating that effort.

Gustavo Goodway
Best effort so far in handicaps last time when runner up at Bellewstown (20.5f, good); cheekpieces worn that day are discarded and he drops markedly in trip; up 2lb and has place claims if building on that last run.

First reserve; handicap debutant; placed in point-to-points; big prices for all four maiden hurdles and produced best effort when sixth of 14, beaten 27l at Killarney last month; potential improver.

Second reserve; locally trained; no show in three maiden hurdles; beaten 22l at 150-1 on handicap bow at Sligo (17.5f, soft); hard to make a case for on the back of that run.

Third reserve; runner up in a Tipperary handicap chase on penultimate start off 84 but pulled up on next start at Killarney; rated 4lb lower over hurdles but is 0-27 in this sphere; hard to see him winning.
