Once rated 149 in his pomp but is clearly regressing and has generally struggled of late. Looks a tall order on form shown.
Course winner who bounced back to form last time out winning a Fairyhouse handicap chase at odds of 9/1 ending a 14-race losing streak. Could be capable of having his say back over hurdles.
Needs to recapture the form that has seen the gelding win two of his four starts in this class. Out of form recently and hard to fancy.
Course winner that has won three of his five starts in this class and comes here on a hat-trick following two fine wins at Limerick and Fairyhouse last month and continuation of development expected.
116-rated chaser and in fine form over the larger obstacles now reverts back to hurdles following three dour efforts over a year ago. Capable of improvement and worth a market check.
Managed to win two consecutive races earlier in the year, but they were weaker affairs than this and her form since her summer break has hardly been encouraging.
Has rendered a couple of satisfactory runs winning his last two handicap hurdles at Clonmel and last time out at Tramore. Now 17lb higher than the first of those wins but can be expected to improve again.
Course winner that has won over this distance but has failed to finish any of his last three starts since winning a weak handicap hurdle at Naas in March. Plenty to find on recent offerings.
Course winner but pulled up on most recent start in a Navan handicap hurdle in November. Now 1lb lower than last winning mark but has work to do based on recent form.
C&D winner that has won three of his nine contests in this class. Last win came in January last year and looks opposable on recent offerings.
Forecasts
Dromore Lad (3/1), Shannak (7/2), Fitzhenry (4/1), Poker Party (11/2), Capture The Drama (9/1), Peace N' Milan (16/1), Apache Jack (20/1), Rathpatrick (20/1), Rightdownthemiddle (20/1), Charmix (33/1)
Capture The Drama likes to get on with things from the front in his races and will possibly lead here with Charmix and Apache Jack chasing in behind. The front running tactics could set the race up for the Davy Russell-ridden POKER PARTY who is an improving sort and can continue his good form here with Dromore Lad and the J P McManus-owned Fitzhenry the biggest dangers.
