Fleetfoot
Dual winner last year including Punchestown conditions event over this trip; returned last month after a year's absence, up with pace for long way until fading late (beaten 6l) in 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; entitled to come on for that, drops in grade and slight drop in trip to suit.

Titanium
Six-time winner in France at up to this trip, mostly on soft; well held in two runs at the Galway festival for new yard, dropped 5lb since and interesting jockey booking.

Kortez Bay
Took nine attempts to get off the mark in 7f maiden at Fairyhouse (good) in June; some stiff tasks since, most recently didn't count back in handicap company in Leopardstown premier event last month, albeit not much luck in running; steps up in trip now.

Casanova
Got back on the scoresheet when winning over this trip at Listowel last month off 77; well held off this 8lb higher mark at Cork since so has it to do here.

Simply Sideways
Six wins include this race last year off 81 (heavy) and at Gowran in May on soft; not at best since on better ground but one to consider if the predicted rain arrives.

Vasda
Won a couple of races in France for former yard (including on soft); low key start for Joseph O'Brien in first time tongue tie at the Curragh in June, bit more encouraging at Roscommon last month on softer ground; dropped 4lb since so not one to rule out, especially if the ground softens.

Complete Fiction
Four-time winner at around this trip but has to be delivered late, including winning at Naas in August for today's rider; Listowel third to Casanova off revised mark was a solid run, considering he was hampered; respected.

Gowran win in April (soft) came over slightly further; beaten favourite both subsequent runs and returns here from four-month break with predicted rain sure to suit.

Wide-margin winner of a Killarney handicap on soft earlier in season; fine run after a break at Punchestown last month but didn't build on that at Cork on Tuesday; upped in trip here and visor tried.
