Joe Buzz (IRE) Former Ferdy Murphy gelding who boasts good form over hurdles; disappointed for new trainer over fences and now reverts back to the smaller obstacles; could prove interesting in this lower grade.
Donnegale (IRE) Has shown decent form since coming back to hurdles; goes well for today's pilot and scored recently on soft ground at Catterick; may be better on faster ground and should run well.
Big Max Has been running consistently well over course and distance; appreciates today's ground and should be one of the main contenders.
Clear Dawn (IRE) Course and distance winner who is closely matched with Big Max; will not want the ground to be too fast; one for the shortlist.
General Custer (IRE) Reverts to hurdles after disappointing over fences; doubts over ground leave too many question marks against him.
Mr Cavallo (IRE) Seems to have gone the wrong way lately; not one to put too much faith in.
Prelude To Fame (USA) Pulled up on last two starts; unlikely to figure here.
Oh So Cosy (IRE) Poor form lately; best watched.
Hulla Hoop (FR) Seemed to appreciate the step up in distance last time; may have room for improvement.
Ela Agapi Mou (USA) Has not won since 1998; at best is capable of winning this; one to consider.
Savannah Mo (IRE) Has shown good form on a softer surface; has more room for improvement than many of his rivals; however, may be best watched after disappointing effort last time.
No Case To Answer (IRE) Has never really been in contention; unlikely to trouble leaders today.
Political Sox Winner over two miles on last start; doubtful stayer and will struggle over this trip.
Contrafire (IRE) Four times winner over hurdles; however, his best days may be behind him.
Lord Fortune (IRE) Returning after a lengthy lay-off and should come on for the run.
Kingennie Has been disappointing; best watched.
Barley Meadow (IRE) All previous form has been at short distances; looks a doubtful stayer.
