Front runner who has appeared to do too much in the early stages of late failing to complete in a couple of starts before finishing 74L adrift of the winner in a Listowel 2m1f handicap chase earlier this month.
Ended a barren spell when winning by 10L at Downpatrick in June before a couple of below-par displays last month. Each way claims at best here.
Record over fences is 6-40, so well capable of popping up now racing 6lb lower than last winning mark. Goes on the ground and can give a decent account of himself here.
Consistent performer who has been in good form over hurdles and on the flat of late. Two from 18 over the larger obstacles and is still 9lb higher than last winning mark. Looks opposable.
Finished 2L behind Draycott Place over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in June but has generally disappointed since. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Second of eight in a a Listowel handicap chase over 2m1f earlier this month but was well beaten 21L behind Presenting Mahler. Not won over fences since April 2017.
Failed to sparkle for Jim Culloty and finished 58L adrift of the winner of a Limerick 2m handicap chase in July on stable debut before pulling up when tailed off at the Galway festival last month. Plenty to prove in this contest.
Got off the mark for connections at the eighth time of asking over the larger obstacles in a Kilbeggan 2m4f contest earlier this month off a 5lb lower mark. Another bold show looks likely.

Forecasts
Penny Jane (9/4), Flaviana (7/2), Eight Till Late (4/1), Killiney Court (9/2), Kylecrue (5/1), Eiri Na Casca (7/1), Tikkanen Express (8/1), Lake Takapuna (10/1), Draycott Place (33/1)
The Gordon Elliott-trained PENNY JANE can prove her fitness following 12-months on the sidelines to see off the opposition here. The Kings Theatre mare has spent the last year away from the track after a win at this meeting last year. Jessica Harrington's daughter of Flemensfirth, Flaviana and the evergreen, Kylcrue can pick up the minor positions.
