C&D winner last year; sent off favourite for four of last five outings, on latest when finishing off well to take runner-up over C&D (Trishuli River third); 3lb higher but entitled to be there again in first-time visor.
Closely matched with Lady Kai on C&D third in October; got going too late when fifth of 14 here (10.5f) three weeks ago; seldom runs a bad race here; each-way possibilities.
First run for new yard since leaving Tim Easterby; 0-14 since making successful handicap debut for Sir Michael Stoute at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May last year; can only be watched.
Solid record at this venue, including a maiden win over this trip last year; solid effort over C&D in October when beaten 0.75l into third off 66; just 1lb higher here; enters the discussion.
Five-time course winner, including over C&D; way below best of late, although wasn't beaten far over C&D in October; supported in the betting to no avail next time; slowly away when last seen; well treated now if he can recapture his best form.
Won Ballinrobe claimer on good ground for John O'Donoghue; proved she stays this far with Thurles second on her second start for this stable; wasn't far behind Lady Kai and Trishuli River when sixth over C&D on latest; capable of getting involved; hooded.
Hurdles winner; won over this trip at Bellewstown last year; pick of this year's form when second at Gowran (1m4f, good); cut out most of running when fourth here (10.5f) on latest; in the mix.
AW winner in Britain (9.5f); remote third to No More Kisses last month; best run in four starts for this yard a fortnight ago when beaten 5.5l into fifth over 10.5f, in front turning into straight then weakening; not sure to stay this far.
Poor form in maidens but improvement with each handicap start, producing career-best when winning 10.5f handicap by 5.5l last month; up 9lb for that win but couldn't have won any easier; major player up in trip.
Some decent placed efforts in handicaps for Kevin Coleman; bought for 15,000euros at Goffs last month; took to this surface well when second here (2m) on stable debut, making good headway late on; player.
