Al Gasparo
Top rated; wide margin C&D winner in May in a maiden hurdle (good to yielding); beaten 4l at Worcester in a novice on latest in late-August; 2m4f may have stretched him that day and this test more suitable; has form on heavy ground and he has to be considered off top weight.

Drumgill
Prominent racer won a 2m1f handicap easily at Ballinrobe in early August off 112 (yielding to soft); probably out of his depth when beaten 12.5l in a listed handicap at Listowel nine days ago; these are calmer waters and he will appreciate cut in the ground; not without a chance at his best.

Rocky's Diamond
Was backed at big odds when off the mark on heavy ground at Limerick back in April (2m1f); upped in trip for his next start the following month and was beaten 6.75l on yielding to soft at Wexford; absent since; rain a plus and has a chance if it turns heavy and he is fit; won at Gowran Park yesterday.

Lieber Nicc
One of two for leading yard; off the mark in a 16.5f Wexford maiden hurdle in July (good to yielding); non-runner on account of testing ground at Fairyhouse in April; leading chance if the rain stays away but could be vulnerable if conditions deteriorate.

Master Otis
Won a good ground novice hurdle at Cork in May; better form when a neck second on soft ground at Leopardstown in March, conceding 3lb to the now 134 rated winner; bombed out at Galway on latest but surely capable of better than that; interesting runner at a price.

Chutzpal
Second of two for yard; seeking a hat-trick over hurdles after wins at Bellewstown and Wexford on good and yielding ground; also won his last flat start at this track (14.5f, good); a non-runner because of easy ground in August and is 0-4 on softer than yielding; leading chance if it stays dry.
