7/1
Solid effort when third over C&D last month, drops a 1lb since and every chance he'll be competitive in this.

50/1
Recent efforts over fences have been dispiriting and now switches back to the smaller obstacles in hope of finding some confidence.

14/1
Racked up summer hat-trick in minor events, exposed since coming back in this winter and latest effort at Cork earlier this month saw him pulled up.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: A J Martin| OR:  128
8/1
C&D winner two years ago, gets tongue strap on for firs time here and would hold claims if producing his best effort for notable trainer/jockey combination.
5
Horse silk
Woodford Islandt38
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  124
5/1
Not beaten all that far when fourth over C&D last month and should have his say in this off the same mark.

Brightest Flameb14
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR:  123
7/1
Lightly raced gelding won in a common canter over 2m5f at Tramore on New Year's Day, handicap debut calls for more but every reason to suspect he'll give just that.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: D F O'Regan| T: A Fleming| OR:  121

Well held last time at this venue over two-miles, goes up in trip this afternoon.

Sutton Manor21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: D J Mullins| T: G Elliott| OR:  121
7/2
Good start to handicapping career at Fairyhouse earlier this month over this trip on heavy ground, yard in fine form and should have more to offer.

Horse silk
Diamond Cauchois32
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-13| J: Ruby Walsh| T: Mrs S A Bramall| OR:  120
7/2
Ahead of Sutton Manor runner-up at Fairyhouse recently. That was a fine effort, goes up 4lbs here and has the champion jockey for company for the first time.

Horse silk
Kilcarry Bridget12
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR:  116
20/1
Been chasing this term, has good enough strike record over hurdles and goes up in trip for this assignment.
11
Horse silk
Stolbergt28
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-2| J: Rachael Blackmore(5)| T: A J McNamara| OR:  109
33/1
Plugged on to be fifth at Limerick over this trip last month, stamina shouldn't be an issue here and could get involved.
12
Horse silk
Jazz Ranger132
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-10| J: C M Leonard(7)| T: P A Fahy| OR:  106
50/1
Failed to cut much ice in four runs for previous yard and has re-joined former handler ahead of this run. Pulled up latest and makes minimal appeal here.

Forecasts

Sutton Manor (7/2), Diamond Cauchois (7/2), Woodford Island (5/1), Oscar Sam (7/1), Brightest Flame (7/1), Mydor (8/1), Ah Littleluck (14/1), Elishpour (16/1), Kilcarry Bridge (20/1), Stolberg (33/1), Apache Jack (50/1), Jazz Ranger (50/1)

Verdict

BRIGHTEST FLAME makes his handicap debut here on the back of a rout at Tramore over this trip, he looks potentially well treated on that evidence and can take advantage. Diamond Cauchois must have a chance after his good showing last time out and with a notable jockey booking, with Sutton Manor also in the mix on form with that rival from their Fairyhouse clash. The remainder have questions to answer, with Oscar Sam perhaps best equipped to get involved. 1. Brightest Flame 2. Diamond Cauchois 3. Sutton Manor
