Off the track since August. Ground conditions are fine and hit his best form last summer. Has plenty to find at the weights.
Never raced on the Flat and well beaten in two bumpers. May want a stiffer test and softer ground.
Has winning form on the Flat but needs to prove fitness having been off the track since August. May not stay this far.
Winner of a bumper and a couple of stayers races on the level. Has conditions to suit and could go well at a decent price.
Would be on of the higher weighted if this were a handicap. Winner of a couple of races on the Flat and will be all the better for his stable debut. Tongue-tie now fitted.
Winning hurdler and chaser who looks a straightforward ride for an inexperienced rider. May find a few of these are too quick.
Romped home on her only start in a bumper. Won a Grade Two chase last time. In form for top yard and has all the tools to win a race such as this.
Winner of three AW races but has been really poor of late and is impossible to recommend. Not guaranteed to stay this far.
Ran really well at Naas on his reappearance. Yet to prove he stays this far but has been noted staying on over shorter. Tends to drop himself out and give himself plenty to do. Finished third in this last year.
Has a Flat record of 5-33. Stays well and acts on any ground. Generally takes a few runs to reach fitness after a layoff so should be primed now. His Flat rating gives him an excellent chance.
Veteran was tailed off on his reappearance and hard to see that run producing the improvement necessary to land this.
Beat a good field when landing his bumper and not disgraced in an AW maiden in January 2016. Off the track since May but of obvious interest.
Long standing maiden with experience of these charity races. Represents a powerful yard but is now beginning to look slow.
Rated 99 and raced at Listed level at his peak on the Flat but his best form has been over considerably shorter.
Winner of one race on the Flat but only start beyond 1m4f suggested he does not stay. Looks moderate and faces a difficult task at the weights.
No better than plating class and hard to find any positives. Yet to make the frame in nine previous starts.
Formerly with Dermot Weld and produced best effort for him over considerably shorter and in headgear which is removed here.
15-race maiden who has shown some promise but is beginning to look one paced. May need a stiffer test than this.
Winner of six races but last victory was almost three years ago. Has been on a steep decline in recent starts.
Some signs of promise in point-to-points and maiden hurdles but would appear to lack the speed to win a race like this.
Mixed chasing and hurdles with an enduring lack of success stretching back mid-2014. Little promise to be gleaned from his latest efforts.
Well beaten on all five starts and regular headgear not fitted. Hard to see him mounting a serious challenge.
Lightly raced and will be better for a recent return to action. Has the potential to win a race but more likely over a much shorter trip.
Had some form at Dundalk in December 2015 but has been poor since. Having first run for new trainer.

DAISYS GIFT arrives fitter and in better form than most in this. She romped home in a bumper on debut and that sort of effort would be good enough here. Investmentsuccess is another bumper winner and one who has gone well over shorter on the Flat since whilst Chapter Seven was third in this race last year and has place prospects again if not getting too detached.
