'Winner got a soft lead when third at Gowran; big-field handicap will suit better'

'Seems best when the mud is flying and probably needs rain to be competitive here'

'2nd over C&D from 6lb higher early in the year so don't completely rule out; rain welcome'

'Poor effort on AW debut last week; outside chance but isn't discounted back on turf'

'Three-time winner, all at the Curragh; he isn't the type to back up latest victory'

'Needs to bounce back and will need the heavens to open to have any chance'

'Second at Dundalk last week; still fairly treated back on turf and handles any ground'

'Tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal'

'Will appreciate a return to turf but he's likely to get outpaced over this trip'

'Back down to his last winning mark with Colin Keane back aboard (was on for last success)'

'Has ten turf wins on his CV; dangerous off a sliding mark but would probably need rain'

'7lb rise seems harsh enough for a gutsy win and will need some rain to be seen at his best'

'Close 3rd to Facethepuckout over C&D in July; bred to handle a sounder surface'

'Second when sent off favourite for a moderate 7f contest at Laytown; opposable'
