Billboa
Three-time winner from six attempts on AW; returned from 553-day break when last of 14 at the Curragh on heavy early last month (finished last in same race in 2023 before running well on AW); can go well back here but jury is out after his poor run from such a lengthy break.

Sporting Hero
Seven-time AW winner at 5f-6f (five times at this venue); beat Dontspoilasale by a head in a 6f claimer here last month but couldn't confirm placings when second behind that rival back in a handicap next time; raised 4lb and well beaten over 6f latest; back down 5lb and Nicola Burns takes over riding duties.

Send Harry
Model of consistency on turf during the summer and gained deserved success in 7f course handicap off 67 in September; denied by just a neck over 7f here last month, headed late on; tries 5f for the first time now and should be thereabouts.

Buddy Batt
Won a Bellewstown 5f maiden as a juvenile and added second win latest when putting 1.25l between himself and his closest pursuer, Tomarlo; 8lb higher now, so it won't be easy to go in again, but he is lightly raced on this surface and could have more to offer.

Never Shout Never
Doesn't win often, the last win coming in this contest last year off 5lb higher; stayed on strongly over 7f in final start for Stephen Thorne in a claimer in August when runner-up; 1.75l behind Tomarlo here over 6f latest when weakening into seventh; down 1lb but others preferred.

Inishmot Prince
Nine-time course winner struggled in five starts on turf during May/June; improved over moderate return over 7f in October when a 4l third over C&D last month; down 2lb but improvement required.

Prairie Girl
Shaped well over C&D on her stable debut when close up fourth, only 0.5l behind third-placed Tomarlo; built on that when winning readily here on Halloween; a 12lb rise tends to suggest Tomarlo can uphold previous form.

Tomarlo
Shows a definite preference for this surface; winner and placed four times at this track at 5f-7f; stumbled coming out of stalls when clear second to Buddy Batt over C&D on penultimate; raised 3lb when pressed for the lead over 6f here latest before weakening into fourth; has his chance again under a 10lb claimer.
