The Wallpark
Has won his last two starts, a 19.5f handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan off 129 in July and a 22.5f Listed handicap hurdle at this track in August off his revised rating of 137; clearly in top-form, is race fit and likes it here; could be the one to benefit if Fakir d'Oudairies needs the run.

Kings Hill
Locally trained; 1-8 over hurdles, that win coming in a maiden at Thurles in February; highly tried at times since and was a good fourth at the Punchestown Festival; midfield in the Galway Hurdle here in August and beaten 10l at Killarney latest; has a fair bit to find with a couple of these on these terms.

Fakir D'Oudairies
The class act in this race; a multiple Grade 1 winner over fences and is rated 157 in that sphere; gets weight from the top two and hard to beat if at his best; however, he has needed the run on his last couple of returns from similar breaks, he hasn't run over hurdles since 2019 and he wears a tongue tie for the first time; it might be worth taking him on.

French Dynamite
Talented Grade 3 winning chaser who has won four times over hurdles; rated 144 over fences but his last three chase runs have been underwhelming, including one here in the Galway Plate in August; visor on first time and trainer had a welcome winner last week; chance if rediscovers his best form in first run over timber for almost two years.

Lord Erskine
Admirable dual-purpose veteran; mixing hurdling and the Flat recently and running respectably in both codes; fine fourth in a Flat handicap here in July then third over hurdles in The Tribes handicap hurdle a couple of days later; probably up against it on these terms but should run a solid race.
