Competent and consistent in the point-to-point ranks and a solid second of 13 on chasing debut at Tramore in August. Watching brief on stable debut.
Not disgraced in his last four starts over fences. Could well improve for the return of his regular jockey.
Won a point-to-point contest in May but subsequently well held in a couple of hurdle spins recently. Without a win in five starts over the larger obstacles when in the care of Tony Martin. Tough ask.
Winner of a point-to-point in May before a 62L in a Listowel hunter chase last month. Others preferred.
Finished first past the post at Wexford in May when eventually disqualified in a handicap chase over 2m before finishing a moderate fifth of 12 at the same track last month. Worth a market check.
Will have disappointed supporters when finishing fifth of 26 as beaten favourite at Bellewstown earlier this month in a handicap hurdle. Solid in two starts at Wexford last month and holds a major chance in this company.
Course winner that has also won over the trip. Well held on similar ground recently and may struggle in this contest.
Well beaten and never nearer in a mistake-laden debut over the larger obstacles at Kilbeggan before a 29L defeat in a beginners contest at Ballinrobe. Well beaten when falling at the last at Punchestown in June and others preferred.
Three race maiden over the larger obstacles and not seen since a 125L defeat here in October. Very little to be positive about.
An unlikely bounce back to form was witnessed on Thursday when the gelding finished second of 15 in a Killarney handicap chase on good ground. Needs to maintain that form here.
Beaten favourite last time out in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle when last seen in May. Five chase maiden who needs to up his game in this company.
Nothing of note for the popular veteran in a number of dismal displays over the larger obstacles since December. Hard to fancy on latest evidence.
Solid and consistent in the point-to-point field but beaten a total of 91L in two career hunter chase starts last month and was subsequently well held in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month. Others hold stronger profiles.
No extra when finishing fourth of 15 in a Killarney handicap chase on Thursday and not one to totally leave out of calculations.
Has failed to finish in three of her last four handicap chase starts and is readily overlooked here. First time cheekpieces less likely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.
Not disgraced but generally well held in a number of handicap chases' since winning a Downpatrick contest in March. Will need to improve to figure.

Distance winner CANTKIDAKIDDER can build on a promising second of 14 beaten 1L in a Wexford handicap chase last move to land the spoils in the closer. Lash It On can who acts on the ground is now down to a 1lb lower mark than his last win in August 2016 and can hit the frame here along with distance winner Shanklys Dawn who has conditions in his favour in this contest.
