Steadily finding his feet in two starts, not beaten far this season after missing the 2016 campaign. Could go well in this company with first-time cheekpieces fitted.
Solid and consistent displays over the late summer including finishing second of 15 beaten 2L in Roscommon handicap last month. Not to be discounted.
Distance winner who has made steady progress recently including a solid second of 17 beaten 1¼L behind Bubbly Bellini last time out. Can be dangerous off a handy mark.
Nine race maiden filly who has looked over-whelmed in recent performances. Could go well but others hold stronger profiles.
Distance winner on the beach at Laytown and ran a solid race last time out at Dundalk on the AW when beaten 2¼L. One for each-way backers.
Has been generally consistent over the summer putting in some rock-solid performances including a win over the distance at Ayr in August. Should make his presence felt here.
Got his head in front for the first time in a year when beating 13 rivals in a Listowel handicap over 6½f. Hasn't been put up as much as his win 12 months ago and can go well again off his new mark.
Has had a torrid season well beaten in five handicap starts over a variety of distances. First-time blinkers failed to bring about any improvement last time out and are removed here.
Generally consistent in the spring but ran as if something amiss last time out on the AW at Dundalk. Others make more appeal.
Has given the impression she has not trained on following a slightly promising two-year-old campaign with Richard Hannon. Ran for Harry Dunlop on seasonal debut and others preferred.
Frustrating mare in the spring who managed a win over this distance at Gowran Park in August 2016 off a 6lb higher mark. Looks a tall order on recent form.
Not much to shout about in five seasonal starts bar a second of 16 in a Cork handicap in May. Nine race maiden who will need to improve to land a blow here.
Finished fifth of 14 beaten 4L behind Count Of Carabass last time out in a Listowel handicap over 6½f. Hard to win with and is now 21lb lower than last win.
Won a Bellewstown handicap in August over 1m but has struggled a little off her new mark. Could hit the frame but others preferred.
Has put in two second-rate displays this season beaten a total of 57L. Possibly needed the runs in August following a year off but hard to fancy on recent starts.

Fair Game (5/2), Compass Hill (5/1), Count Of Carabass (5/1), Prove The Point (5/1), Harry Speed (9/1), Voyageofdiscovery (10/1), Only Spoofing (12/1), Accladora (16/1), Tom Dooley (20/1), Money In My Pocket (25/1), Lady Ranger (25/1), In Somno (25/1), Sherbert (25/1), Feotanach (28/1), Opt Out (33/1), Its Harrys Girl (50/1)
It could well be left to Feotanach to make the pace here from stall five. The early pace could well set the race up for a couple of higher drawn runners notably Tom Dooley and the consistent HARRY SPEED, who won over the distance at Ayr in August. Count Of Carabass and Prove The Point can battle it out for the minor honours.
