Well treated on the pick of his hurdles form if he can translate that to fences. And posted a respectable effort on debut for a new yard latest. Needs to use that as a platform but has lacked consistency in the past, so one to be wary of all the same.
Won by 6l latest and may still have a bit more locked away. 7lb higher tonight, so needs to post a career best performance. But represents an in-from yard and has the assistance of Davy Russell to fall back on, so another bold attempt looks assured.
Being kept busy after winning at Down Royal in May. Disappointed in two outings since but is only 3lb higher and doesn't have much to find to get competitive again.
Has won off a mark of 123 in the past so has to be considered as being very well handicapped just now. Arrives here in good form and well worth a check in the betting. Wouldn't want too much rain.
Only a beginners chase win to her name over fences and has been out of sorts lately. Switching back to fences will suit but she has a lot to prove at the moment.
Likes a good test of stamina but failed to complete three times toward the end of last season (April) and hard to assess on that form. Best left alone unless the market indicate she has thrived during her short break from racing.
Won a handicap hurdle earlier in the year and has made a fair transition to fences. Makes his handicap debut at a reasonable level, so worth a check in the betting. Does need to improve on two previous starts over fences though.
Won in gritty style last time out and has to be respected for the attitude he displayed on that occasion. Carries 6lb more this time around and has more to do in this company - suited by the conditions but has disappointed from this sort of mark in the past, so there are chinks in the armour for the rest to latch onto.
Goes well at this course but has something to find with Cadawill after finishing down the field behind him at Limerick six days ago. Needs everything to go his way.
Has been placed four times from 22 previous attempts over fences but managed to get his head in front on the line. Has a bit to prove back over this trip for the first time in two years and best watched.

A Sizing Network (5/2), Cadawill (6/1), Presenting Beara (13/2), Urtheoneiwant (7/1), Curragh Golan (7/1), Billy Flight (7/1), Prosperity Square (8/1), Presenting Mahler (12/1), Stonehall Jack (20/1), Admiral Bob (25/1), Castletown Bridge (50/1)
All of these have something to prove for one reason or another, and even keeping faith with CADAWILL comes with a cautionary note attached. He will be a tough nut to crack if he can deliver a similar effort to the one he delivered at Limerick six days ago but has struggled from this sort of rating in the past. A Sizing Network may have more to offer now he has proved his well being for his new trainer, while Urtheoneiwant and Curragh Golan can scrap it out as the best of the rest.
