Extensio
Still-improving Flat handicapper recorded career-best when readily landing valuable 2m York handicap in August on fast ground; sole previous run over hurdles came when comfortably beating a decent sort (third won at Gowran on Friday) in 2m Roscommon maiden last summer; very interesting now pitched into handicap company although prospect of soft ground a concern.

Dark Note
Maiden hurdle winner at Sligo last year was only touched off in Lartigue Hurdle afterwards; hasn't hit those heights this year although some decent efforts; too keen at Listowel on latest.

Nibiru
No hurdle wins since 2022 and seems to have lost his way; withdrawn recently at Listowel due to soft ground so predicted rain won't do his chances any good.

Belle The Lioness
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner whose best recent run came when second in Tramore handicap on New Year's Day; absent since April and may just need this.

Semblance Of Order
Dual winner on the Flat in 2023 and winning hurdles debut in Punchestown 3yo maiden nearly a year ago (soft); returned from 269-day absence when always behind in Downpatrick hurdle in August; stiff enough task entering handicap company.

Presenting Lad
In terrific form of late on decent ground, winning over fences at Roscommon and Tramore before landing 2m Kilbeggan handicap hurdle; better again back chasing when close third in valuable 2m2f Listowel handicap last time but prospect of soft ground a negative.

Old Bill Barley
Bumper winner is now 0-5 hurdling although best effort came on latest when third to Presenting Lad in 2m Kilbeggan handicap last month, likely would have gone closer but for being hampered home turn and stumbling last; 4lb better off with that rival here so has his chance.

Clarens
Without success since winning three on the spin in 2021; declining mark and tongue-tie fitted but remains opposable.

Farmix
Looked a nice prospect in novice chases in 2020-21, winning two of his three starts; however, missed nearly two years and it was a fairly poor comeback run over hurdles in December when last seen; seems best watched.

The Niffler
C&D winner in May (yielding) off 102 and ran well in similar contest in July; place claims when faller two out at Cork on latest; probably has a bit to find.

Expound
In fine form this summer with three wins, two on the Flat and 2m Tramore maiden hurdle; equally good run on latest when third in Listowel Flat handicap; on a potentially nice mark in first handicap hurdle but best form is on a sound surface so rain could be an issue.

Vischio
Dual-purpose mare, winner of eight races, notably 1m4f Listed event at the Curragh nearly a year ago on heavy; has run well in competitive handicap hurdles this year at Galway and most recently at Listowel on quick enough ground; soft ground here could bring her right into the mix.
