Blue Reed
0-9 under Rules; a faller on chase debut at Wexford (33-1) and was a 50-1 shot when beaten 31l in first time cheekpieces (discarded here) at Roscommon early last month; others preferred.

Boldog
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner from top yard; off since well-beaten in a Listed novice hurdle at Punchestown in February; brother to a chase winner at around this trip so can't be discounted if fit for his return from 204 days off.

Jesse Evans
Talented hurdler was sent off at 11-10 for his chasing debut at Killarney; bad mistake at the second last cost him dearly but he rallied well to finish third; drying ground will suit and could gain compensation granted a clear round of jumping.

Jet Setting Jim
Listowel maiden hurdle winner in June (16.5f, good); held every chance when falling at the last on his chasing debut at Tipperary; hampered when posting decent effort over this C&D last time; could go well.

Joyeux Vivo
Ten race maiden under Rules; placed in handicap hurdles but well-beaten on both chase starts at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan at 23.5f and 25.5f; drop in trip here will suit but needs more to trouble the best of these.

Noble Birth
Three time winning hurdler; excellent effort on chasing debut at Killarney last month, beaten just 1.5l into second; takes a big drop in trip here but not written off on ground that should suit.

Palace Rock
Possesses some smart form over hurdles; not as good so far in two starts over the bigger obstacles, including when beaten 31l at Killarney last time; held by Jesse Evans on that form and best watched for now.

San Salvador
2-7 over hurdles but 0-3 in chases; showed promise on debut in this sphere when fourth at Limerick in May but fell early at Roscommon and was beaten 39l at Killarney last time; surely capable of better but others preferred on this occasion.

A Law Of Her Own
Has won here over hurdles; back from spell with Dan Skelton with below par run over timber when beaten 18l here in late July; has a bit to find with some of these on hurdling form and can only be watched on her chasing debut.

Opera Point
Huge odds and well-beaten in all four starts over hurdles; also well beaten in three completed point-to-points; hard to fancy on chasing debut.

Shecouldbeanything
Talented hurdler blotted her copybook when refusing to race on the Flat at Tramore last month; midfield in the Galway hurdle on penultimate start; dam is related to a chase winner and is from a top yard so can't be discounted.
