12/1
Largely consistent in a number of starts since, testing conditions last time at Gowran Park likely not a plus-factor and may bounce back now.

7/1
Tends to fare best on the AW at Dundalk, just 5-44 on turf though was runner-up in similar Navan contest last time so cannot be ruled out.

11/2
Form this year has been average at best, even allowing for slightly more promising show at Naas last time out. Mark on the slide, however.

Age: 4|  Weight: 12-3| J: Rachael O'Callaghan| T: G Elliott| OR:  92| C
7/2
The best of these on ratings, hasn't won since taking this contest a year ago. Third in similar event at Navan last month and should pose a big threat back here.

25/1
Ten-year-old, Hunter Chase winner, out of sorts recently in point-to-points and a shock should be prove best of these.

Age: 5|  Weight: 12-3| J: Alan Redmond| T: J Feane| OR:  50
25/1
Modest Flat handicapper is 0-14 on turf previously and far from certain to be at his best over this extended trip.

Uncle Henry15
Age: 4|  Weight: 12-3| J: Graham Atkinson| T: J P O'Brien| OR:  80| BF
7/2
AW winner over 1m4f, went close at Naas and again on the sand at Dundalk over this trip recently, comes here in good order and one of the more likely sorts.
8
Horse silk
Earl Of Bunnacurry24
Age: 4|  Weight: 12-0| J: Theresa Maguire| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  52
33/1
Tailed off in all bar one of his ten starts, with hurdles and flat coming alike. Impossible to make a case for him, despite marginally better effort in Cork maiden (1m½f, good) last time.

Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: Ian Kearney| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR:  60
16/1
Maiden, not really looked like opening account in either code so far, though has at times been supported in the betting. Worth noting.

Flattothemat18
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: Frank Byrnes| T: S J Mahon| OR:  50
25/1
Tailed off over hurdles recently, having finished a long way off the pace at Laytown last month over 7f on debut for this trainer. All to do.

Smiling Eliza11
Age: 3|  Weight: 12-0| J: Killian McCarthy| T: G Elliott| OR:  69| D
7/1
Winner over this trip at Navan in June (rated 64), in cracking form lately over hurdles, winning two of last three starts. Could have a leading say.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-12| J: Rachel Carberry| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  69| CD
8/1
Lightly-raced since her last win here over 18-months ago off a 5lb higher mark, but must put a poor effort at Gowran Park in midweek right behind her.
14
Horse silk
Maunganui6
Age: 3|  Weight: 11-10| J: Denise Callanan| T: J P Fahey| OR:  66
16/1
Produced a more likable effort in Naas handicap over this trip last Sunday, beaten only 5L into fourth of 16. Could hold place claims here.
15
Horse silk
Mom Said6
Age: 3|  Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Shearman| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  59
16/1
Still a maiden on the Flat with his best effort coming at 7f, poor effort over hurdles at Kempton last week and well fended off in this sort of race last month at Navan.

Forecasts

Uncle Henry (7/2), Brutal (7/2), Song Of Namibia (11/2), Six Silver Lane (7/1), Smiling Eliza (7/1), Pandagreen (8/1), Circling Moon (12/1), Mom Said (16/1), Easy Pass (16/1), Maunganui (16/1), Eddies Miracle (25/1), Mostawfee (25/1), Flattothemat (25/1), Clonville (25/1), Earl Of Bunnacurry (33/1), Frozen Moon (50/1)

Verdict

Brutal won this last year and is the obvious choice if anywhere close to his best, though he was beaten in a similar heat last month at Navan and is no sure thing. Six Silver Lane ran one of his better turf races last time, while Uncle Henry has been in good tune lately and seems sure to be in the thick of this. SMILING ELIZA won the Flat this summer and has been thriving recently over timber, she gets a tentative nod in this charity finale.
