Best run for the former Richard Hannon gelding was on debut over 1m for the stable. Nothing of note since but worth a market watch over this trip.
Three from 41 on turf and last win came off a 1lb higher mark over 18-months ago but has been hitting the frame on plenty of occasions since. Liable to bump in to one or two better handicapped sorts.
Winner of a 1m handicap here earlier this month off a 5lb lower mark. Would not have to improve much to land a blow here.
Nothing of note in three disappointing starts since May over a mile, including a 33L on stable debut earlier this month. First-time blinkers unlikely to inspire much improvement.
Recently seen struggling on the AW at Dundalk and is without success in four starts on turf. Looks opposable.
Without a win in eight career starts but showed plenty of improvement at Listowel last month. Yard coming back in to form and not easily dismissed.
Course winner who has been running well in defeat of late including at this venue over 1m last month. Capable of running a big race.
Has hit the frame on each of his last three starts including a couple of promising runs this month. More progress possible here.
Still has the one win to his name from 11 career starts. Well held in a number of dismal displays since July and opposable here.
Not much to shout about in three career starts since hitting the track in May. Looks a tall order on form shown.
Recently seen on the AW at Dundalk where the gelding is three from 28. First time cheekpieces unlikely to inspire getting off the mark at the 10th time of asking on turf.
C&D winner here in June 2016 off a 19lb higher mark. Regression has set in since and holds slim place claims at best.
Missed the whole of the 2017 campaign and has shown relatively little in four gloomy efforts since February. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Has looked over-whelmed in a number of horrid displays this term. Stable struggling a little of late and others hold stronger profiles.
Various types of headgear have failed to inspire any improvement for the 11-race maiden and losing run looks set to continue here.
Stable have been among the winners in the last 14 days but first-time tongue-tie is unlikely to produce the much needed improvement to play a role here for this five-race maiden.
Modest eight-race maiden who has appeared to improve in a couple of starts in September. Market likely to be the best guide here over yet another trip.

PADDYTHEIRISHMAN has hit the frame on each of his last three starts including a couple of promising runs this month at Naas and Cork in big runner fields. The eight-year-old can get off the market the ninth time of asking for connections on the Flat getting the better of the Noel Meade improver Art Of America, the solid, Scorpion Black and third of 16 here last month Don't Quit.
