Switches back to hurdles having run well in valuable handicap chase earlier this month and entitled to be there or thereabouts on Thurles run over this trip in December.
Mare looks fairly treated on Leopardstown run over this trip last month, with the form of that race working out well enough. Up another 1lb but should be competitive again.
Pleasing return to hurdling at Punchestown earlier this month, third of 13 over 2m4f off current mark. Drops in trip now but that should have her in good form.
Was better behaved at Navan seven days ago but quickly weakened out of it in the home straight and makes little appeal for his contest.
Continues to inch up the ratings and getting tough to stay competitive but he's thoroughly consistent.
She's been struggling in two runs this season and this looks another tough proposition off just 2lb lower.
Has 15 starts behind him over hurdles with scoring and likely he'll extend that sequence here based on recent efforts.
Hasn't offered up much hope in four maiden hurdles, extra distance no help at Navan last week, best watched for handicap debut.
Hasn't made much of an impact since transferring to this trainer, jumping not always fluent and step up in trip at Fairyhouse didn't appear to suit. Back to two-miles now but has plenty to prove.
Quirky customer hasn't excelled in the jumping department, was running a promising race on handicap debut at Leopardstown last month when running out two from home.
Struggling to get competitive off this mark in two recent starts and makes very limited appeal in this field.
Hasn't been devoid of promise in three maiden hurdle outings, would need a good leap forward to score here on handicap debut but worth a check in the market.
Forecasts
Charlie Stout (5/2), Lagostovegas (4/1), I'm All You Need (7/1), Draycott Place (8/1), Hughies Bay (10/1), Lilshane (10/1), Apache Outlaw (12/1), Highland Fling (12/1), Platinum Empress (16/1), Caridadi (16/1), Fu's Island (33/1), Baron Von Chill (33/1)
Draycott Place should be competitive off this mark over timber having performed admirably over larger obstacles recently, while Charlie Stout rarely runs a bad race but does look potentially held on current mark. The mare LAGOSTOVEGAS is just 1lb higher now for what was a good run in strong Leopardstown race last month and she has the potential to pocket this contest. I'm All You Need returned to this game at Punchestown showing she still has something to offer while handicap debutant Platinum Empress makes minor appeal for the places.
1. Lagostovegas
2. Draycott Place
3. Charlie Stout
