Dual course winner the latest of which came in a 3m handicap in March 2016 off a 2lb lower mark. Well held in two starts since April and not getting any younger.
Returned from a six-month absence when well held at Limerick in a handicap when last seen in October. Winner over this trip previously but plenty to find in this contest.
Struggling chaser whose sole hurdle victory in seven came over C&D in January. Generally well held since and looks up against it here.
Distance winner of a Gowran park hurdle on heavy ground over 12-months ago. Has struggled in a couple of handicap hurdles since returning to action in August. Hard to construct much of a case for the gelding here.
Winner over this trip and second of 12 over a similar distance beaten ¾L behind Just Get Cracking in a Limerick handicap hurdle last month. Should make his presence felt.
One from eight over hurdles and not seen since finishing down the field in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle last December. Has plenty to prove on return to action here.
Course winner that has also won over this trip. Not seen since being tailed off at the Punchestown festival in April and still races 13lb higher than last winning mark. Others preferred.
Three from 11 over hurdles but has been seen over the larger obstacles more regularly. Could be a sighter for a return to fences in the near future.
Second of 11 beaten 4L on a dramatic return to form at Tipperary in October. Distance winner who is worth a check in the market.
Beaten favourite on return to fences when last seen finishing second of 11 in a Ballinrobe handicap chase in May. Gallant sort who might need the run on comeback.
C&D winner and in good form towards the end of the season in April rising 13lb in the weights. Has disappointed at Galway and over C&D since comeback and plenty to prove in this contest looking at exposed form.
Winner of one of her eight starts over hurdles but form tailed off in that sector when she was last seen over timber in May. Racing 15lb higher than last winning mark and a struggle looks ahead.
Last success came in Catterick novice hurdle in early 2016. Hasn't really fired since joining current team and remains one to be cautious about.
Dour form has not improved since moving in to handicaps and the Oscar gelding is best given a wide mark on return to action here.
Distance winner who was beaten favourite in a handicap chase when last seen in April over C&D. One from nine over hurdles and very little to be positive about here.
Lightly raced, she opened her account over hurdles at the fifth attempt when winning over an extended 2m4f at Wexford in June off a 10lb lower mark. Appears to be struggling of late off current rating.

The Donnacha Duggan-trained ANTIMATTER can land his third handicap hurdle win here. The nine-year-old won over this trip and finished second of 12 over a similar distance beaten ¾L behind Just Get Cracking in a Limerick handicap hurdle last month and can hold off the challenge of distance winner Wait Here and Voices Of Spring, both owned by J P McManus.
