Seven-time jumps winner but arrives in poor form for this and preference for sound surfaces further reason to look elsewhere.
87-rated three-time winner at up to 1m2f but looked a doubtful stayer in both prior 1m4f races so trip here has to be a major concern.
Nine-time winner over jumps but never raced on the Flat or in bumpers so hard to know what to expect. Likable sort unlikely to be disgraced.
142-rated dual Hurdles winner was second in a 1m7f Leopardstown maiden in only prior Flat race. Race-fit and has a touch of class so may well be the one to beat here.
Hurdle and Flat winner whose best trip is around 2m5f over obstacles although he was last seen finishing midfield in the 3m5f Irish National in May. Amongst the most classy individuals and one to consider here.
Five-time winner including only prior Flat start in France way back in 2016. Has to be taken seriously given 147 chase rating and trip and ground conditions should suit well.
Dual winner over jumps but achieved little in two earlier Flat races and is up against it here given 115 chase and 100 hurdle marks.
Miserly career return of one win from 25 starts but the Lawman gelding shaped well over 1m4f at the Curragh last month finishing second of 19 beaten 1L behind El Tel. Possibilities here depending on how the jumpers adapt.
Winner of one bumper, one hurdle and one chase race. Rated 116 and 115 respectively over jumps so faces superior sorts from that sphere although his trainer is useful with Flat horses too.
65-rated Flat performer won five times but never beyond 1m which obviously raises huge doubts stamina wise today.
Bumper winner in May but unsuccessful in 10 combined jumps races to date. Perhaps a return to the level will help but others appeal more.
Four-time winner but hugely up against it at these weights given his Flat rating of 57.
Beaten at least 30L in all three starts for Arthur Moore so makes no appeal for new connections here.
Maiden ran two sound enough races over hurdles this autumn but given his mark of 104 over hurdles he is up against it today.
Did win a maiden in March of last year but no form under either code this season and not easy to make a positive case for.
More misses than hits since landing a gamble on heavy ground in April 2018 over hurdles. Pulled-up when last seen and makes little appeal on returnn

Three useful jumpers from top yards headline the runners here with preference for the Gordon Elliott trained CHOSEN MATE who is race fit coming into this unlike his two main rivals Whisperinthebreeze and Class Conti who may just need this before embarking on their NH Campaigns.
