Chavajod
Has won twice at this venue; very hard to fancy on the evidence of recent form; last of 14 over 1m at this venue on his two most recent starts.

Punk Poet
Six-time winner here at 7f-1m, most recently in September when making virtually all off a much-reduced mark of 57; a long way below his best on his last two visits; 6f looked too sharp last time; in contrast, this trip could stretch his stamina.

Maiden ran well in defeat several times last year; regressive this year on turf until shaping well with a long-priced fifth of 22 at the Curragh in October; holds a big chance on last month's C&D second.

Jess Abi
Modest form on turf; mild encouragement can be taken from AW debut over C&D four weeks ago, beaten around 6l in mid-division; Sam Coen's claim should help.

Spy
Useful 120-rated hurdler; AW winner in Britain; has losses to recover after two cases of beaten favouritism over 1m4f at this venue; likely to be in the mix.

Colugo
Maiden seems to be getting the hang of things; strong at the finish when behind Marians Gal over C&D three weeks ago; a leading contender with Colin Keane maintaining the partnership.

Marians Gal
Placed three times at this track before winning easily over C&D three weeks ago; up 10lb for the rematch with third-placed Marians Gal and fourth-placed Aingeal Dorcha; seems to have turned a corner; unlikely to be far away with the same talented apprentice aboard.

Aingeal Dorcha
Two wins from 22 starts on turf (both on good ground); way below best on softer ground after returning in August from a long absence; switch to AW sparked a revival in form when fourth in the race won by Marians Gal; might struggle to reverse form with the winner and third-placed Colugo.

Highland Harvey
Has never finished closer than eighth in ten starts; perhaps premature to write off; however, cheekpieces will need to bring about considerable improvement.

Tara Power
Dual course winner; beaten 8l in fourth over C&D in August, mid-field the following month; needs to find extra.

Harbanaker
Ended a long losing run with a 1m1f win at Leopardstown in April; made some headway from the rear when sixth of 17 at Naas in July on his penultimate start; has had a break since finishing in rear at Gowran in August.

Endless Dawn
17-races maiden but tends to produce her best form at this track; third over 7f three starts ago last month despite a sluggish start; not quite as effective over 1m on her last two starts.

Albion Princess
Gained a third career success when scoring at 80-1 over C&D in April, allowed to go clear under this rider from early on; following month ran poorly on turf; effort to dictate failed three weeks ago; should be sharper for the run.

Has failed to build on the mild promise of a fourth placing over 1m1f at Navan in June; tongue-tie on now.
