Una Matata
Ran well in final two starts for Chris Timmons here at 7f/1m, third on both occasions; caught late on yard debut over 7f here last month; weakened into fifth here next time, hanging right; winning favourite over C&D last week, despite again hanging right; up 6lb; can remain competitive.

Miss Abby Jools
Dual C&D winner who has a better overall record on this surface than on turf; respected despite this year's uneven turf form.

Zabeir
Sole win came here in 2022 (7f); managed a fine staying-on third of 22 at the Curragh in October (1m, heavy) when just in front of today's rival Launch Time; out of the money here last time but could bounce back.

Alex Belardo
Success at Down Royal last year his sole win from 18 starts; ground was soft then; however, he handles this surface and has made the frame in two of his last three races over C&D; place possibility; first-time with cheekpieces.

Failed to win for Dermot Weld; needs to step up on the form of her first two runs for this yard.

Hale Bopp
Dual C&D winner, second to Hell Left Loose last time; beaten only a short head, good chance he can reverse that form.

Hell Left Loose
Four turf wins, also a Laytown winner; gained a first AW success here on penultimate start, mastering Hale Bopp by a head with subsequent winner Una Matara back in fifth; could struggle to uphold that form judged on last week's run here; Alex Belardo in front of him then.

- Launch Time
- Eryka Snioch / Cian Hughes

5/1 |
Launch Time
No AW experience but can be rated one of the leading contenders on his autumn turf form; third in two races over 1m2f at Navan; arguably better when fourth of 22 over this trip at the Curragh; not much between him and Zabeir on that running.

Copper Craft
Improved with tongue-tie fitted here in September, finishing third of 14 after making good headway from off the pace; cheekpieces added now, definite chance.

Seven wins on AW in Britain; fifth placing here last week provides some encouragement; small Wexford stable has had winners here in recent seasons.
