66/1
Veteran who returns form a four-year break and 0/10 under rules. Others make much more appeal in this contest.

66/1
Bits and pieces of promise in the point-to-point field but unfancied and beaten out of sight in a maiden hurdle at Listowel on heavy ground, before a 57L defeat last time out at Gowran Park in September.

2/1
Possibly needed the run on seasonal debut when finishing third of 15 beaten 6¼L in Gowran Park maiden hurdle. Could be vying for favouritism come race-time.

4/7
Winner of two bumpers when last seen in 2015 when under the tuition of Willie Mullins. Clearly has had his issues and connections will be hoping to live up to his potential on stable debut.

66/1
Poor and modest maiden hurdler and was well beaten 72L behind the ill-fated Fayonagh on seasonal debut earlier this month. Very little to be positive about.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: K M Smith(7)| T: M J Smith
66/1
Modest middle-distance runner in France in his three-year-old career without winning. Not seen on the track since 2015 and may struggle in these conditions on these terms on stable debut.
Improved on a second-rate performance on debut when tailed off at Punchestown. Showed plenty of promise when finishing second of 17 on seasonal debut in Clonmel maiden hurdle over 2m1f on soft ground. More needed again.

8/1
Won on sole poit-to-point start in March when beating seven rivals 5L and quickly picked up by J P McManus. Market likely to reveal expectations.

50/1
Showed smart form in good ground bumpers in UK but made little impression on hurdles debut albeit a 30 runner race was something of a baptism of fire, before a 56L defeat last time out at Galway. Others preferred.
10
Horse silk
40/1
Not much to shout about in six modest performances since April in bumpers and two maiden hurdles. Very little to be positive about.
11
Horse silk
100/1
Well beaten in six laboured performances over the summer. Nothing to get excited about and well out of her depth here.

Forecasts

Lucky Pass (4/7), Laverteen (2/1), Settimo Milanese (8/1), Sir Bob (8/1), Trump Sixteen (40/1), Soleglad (50/1), Gotaway (66/1), Mister Butler (66/1), Cherrys Son (66/1), Niebieski (66/1), Lakeside Pearl (100/1)

Verdict

LAVERTEEN can take advantage of track fitness to land the spoils for the Noel Meade stable over the returning Lucky Pass who has not been seen since December 2015. Settimo Milanese looks set for a place.
  1. Laverteen
  2. Lucky Pass
  3. Settimo Milanese
