Hightimeyouwon
One of two for yard; two-time C&D handicap winner for Ado McGuinness; won by a short head off 87 in March; beaten 0.5l off 86 over 1m here on latest earlier this month; in form, the drop back to 7f is a plus and he should run his race again; shortlisted.

Benavente
Has won three on the AW including a 1m handicap here a year ago off 73; won off 78 at Southwell in February (1m); no impact in last three starts but two of those came in top handicaps; lacks a run but the booking of Keane catches the eye; check the market.

No More Porter
One of two for yard; three-time winner on turf shaped okay on his AW debut over 1m here earlier this month when fifth; was 1.75l behind Hightimeyouwon that day and could turn the tables back at this trip; chance.

Whispersinthewind
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating a solid yardstick in a Naas maiden last month (7f, yielding); ran well here twice last year so the surface is fine and she was entered in a Listed race here two weeks ago but didn't get in; she must be well-regarded and she should go well.

Imperial Dream
Won a 7f maiden on the AW at Wolverhampton for Mark Prescott; off the mark for this yard in a Curragh handicap over 6f in August; shaped nicely over 6f here on latest, staying on; step back up to 7f should suit and his yard is in fine form; can't be discounted.

Current Option
Second runner for yard; eight-time turf winner is 0-6 on the AW but has run well in defeat; however, he has mostly struggled since scoring at Fairyhouse in June; visor worn for 12l defeat here last time is replaced by a hood; others appeal more.

Black Storm
Off the mark on second start in a C&D maiden last month and the runner-up has since won a handicap; disappointed when favourite for his handicap debut over 1m here earlier this month; capable of better and the drop back to 7f is a plus but he needs to bounce back.

Perfect Judgement
Second runner for yard; solid efforts last three starts including a 7f handicap win off 69 at Leopardstown; 1-4 on the AW, that win coming over 6f here back in January; drops back in trip after a 5.25l defeat over 1m here latest; needs more to win in this company.

Punk Poet
Five-time course winner but all those wins came at 1m; not beaten that far on last two starts here at this trip and ran well over 7f last month; closely matched with Perfect Judgement on their meeting here last time; he has each-way claims but he'd appeal more at 1m.

Ransom
Three-time course winner at 1m for Denis Hogan; has lost form since winning here in February; best watched on his first start for this yard.
