'Absent since August but handicapper has given him a chance'

'Moderate form over various trips last year; hard to fancy'

'Beaten favourite on last week's Cork comeback run; respected nonetheless'

'Ran well for long way over C&D last month; definite claims'

'C&D second last October lacks a recent run and 2lb wrong'

'Last month's Turf return over C&D not without merit; Billy Lee takes over'

'Shown very little in six starts so hard to make a case for on handicap debut'

'Regressive of late although testing ground not in his favour last time; others preferred'

'Plenty of excuses at Sligo last time; Colin Keane booking takes the eye'

'Curragh run last October would put her in the mix but unproven over this far'

'Hasn't looked progressive; still time to improve but others preferred'

'Prolific Dundalk AW winner; ground to suit but this trip stretches him'

'Twice a winner in US but nothing so far in Ireland and easily passed over'
