Built on the promise of his first handicap effort at Wexford when returning here to win a better class handicap than this on second start. 6lb rise for that is more than fair and every chance of following up here.
Has shown some ability when there's cut in the ground, so any rain a plus, but hasn't been performing well enough to think that he's well handicapped for his debut in the sphere tonight. Others preferred.
Did a little better last time and having not appeared to stay three miles there, this drop back in trip looks a positive move. Young enough to improve and can't be ruled out of a moderate event.
Three runs after a long absence this season haven't revealed much, although he did do better on his latest start when a staying-on sixth at Punchestown. Chances if staying the trip, which is an unknown.
Only the one win in 19 starts to date and although there are some reasonable efforts on his card this season, he doesn't look like a winner in waiting. On a fair mark if bouncing back to best, but that's a bit to take on trust.
In good form at present and followed up Wexford win with another solid effort here last time, staying on well late in the day. However, up half a mile in trip here, which asks a new question. Obvious chance if staying it.
Tailed off all four starts over hurdles and no better for going handicapping last time. Others readily preferred.
Glimmers of ability in three starts in maiden hurdles but a poor effort on handicap debut, with the heavy ground possibly to blame. Too soon to write off but needs to do better here.
Well beaten in recent starts and although this trip probably suits better than others he's tried, needs improvement from somewhere if he's to get involved.
Yet to win in 12 starts but has performed better lately, not beaten far on either of last two starts. Hood on last time is removed and is upped in trip, so new questions to answer, but not totally dismissed.
Been beaten huge distances last four starts and the first time blinkers need to have a major turnaround in his fortunes if he's to be considered.

Forecasts
Kiln Rock (4/1), Soul Season (5/1), Concience (5/1), Redmond Hall (7/1), Ballyegan Warrior (7/1), Cantkidakidder (8/1), Milestone Prince (8/1), Streak (8/1), Ali Bin Nayef (10/1), Pixie Lane (11/1), Louie The Second (12/1), Safe Home (12/1), Field Exhibition (20/1), Secret Approach (33/1), Goneoff (33/1), Ben Rumson (50/1)
This looks wide open and there are any number with some sort of a chance on the best of their form. KILN ROCK is improving and did the job well last time out, and this is arguably an easier contest than she took last time out. She can go in again. Cantkidakidder and Soul Season both need to show they stay the trip but can get involved if they do. Redmond Hall and Field Exhibition should both do better.
