Not won for nearly two years and losing run now stands at 22. Very well handicapped on old form and ran well at Downpatrick in July but hardly one to trust.
Still a maiden after 12 starts but signs he's getting the hang of things now and ran well at the Curragh last time. Eye-catching jockey booking and should be thereabouts.
Runner-up at Gowran Park two starts back under a fine front-running ride. Still yet to get off the mark in 15 starts but gives the impression his turn isn't too far away.
Not won for over two years but on a feasible mark as a result. Has won five times on the AW but he's not quite as effective on turf as his 1 win from 23 starts suggests. Probably best watched having finished well beaten on his latest pair of starts.
Pulled up at Roscommon last time over hurdles but has won off a higher mark than this on the Flat when he won at Gowran Park in May 2015. Market likely to reveal expectations.
Yet to win in eight starts (five for this yard) and seems regressive currently. Jockey booking catches the eye but he was disappointing last time at the Curragh and he needs to bounce back.
Had run well in defeat on her first couple of starts for this yard before disappointing a little at the Curragh last time out. Still yet to win in 12 starts and may need more relief from the handicapper.
Yet to win in five starts but improvement shown at Leopardstown last time out on her first try on fast ground. May struggle back in softer conditions.
Still a maiden and yet to even place in any of his nine starts but produced a better performance last time out at Killarney. Yard have been a little quiet by there own standards but can't be ruled out if he can build on his latest effort.
11-race maiden and has only come close on one of those starts when runner-up in a 16 runner handicap at Limerick at the start of the season. Showed nothing last time out and hood returns.
Improved on handicap/yard debut to place at Fairyhouse in June but has looked in need of some relief from the handicapper since. Third of 10 last time out at Killarney but never dangerous and may struggle here.
Well beaten on return from a three year break last month at Leopardstown and while he may come on for that, well being has to be taken on trust. Has won five times in his career including two Flat wins.
Off the mark when back over hurdles last time and looks like he should be well-handicapped on the Flat but his Flat efforts have been poor and he hasn't placed in 11 starts on the level. Not discounted if he can put it all together.
Pulled up on debut and shown nothing in four subsequent starts. Very hard to fancy and tailed off last, last time at Leopardstown.
Won this race two year's ago and finds himself on a 6lb lower mark for this year's contest having failed to win since. Ran well last time out at Bellewstown though and worth considering back over this C&D.
Not won for nearly four years and shown very little on return to action this year following a prolonged absence.
Still a maiden after 15 starts, placing just once in that time, on the AW. Well beaten on both starts for this yard and looks up against it.
Struggling recently (also been tried over hurdles of late) although she did show a little ability on her last start in this sphere. Not totally written off but a win would be a surprise given that she stays as far as three miles in point-to-points.
Well beaten and virtually tailed off on all four starts to date. Less exposed than some at least but near impossible to fancy.
Habitual slow starter who has finished closer last than first on his four starts to date. First-time blinkers need to bring him on leaps and bounds.
Very well beaten on all six starts to date and needs to improve for the step up in trip here. Positive jockey booking.
Not beaten all that far in some handicaps towards the back end of last year but beaten out of sight on two starts this term. Looks up against it.

There's a suspicion Walkabout is on a good mark if he can translate his hurdles form to Flat while Blankiedoodie is worth considering if he gets in the race. However, previous winner of this race SNAP CLICK looks most interesting on a 6lb lower mark than he won off two years ago and he ran well when placing last time out.
