J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Experienced novice who had already won three chases by October; progress then stalled until he ran a screamer off top weight (ridden by 7lb claimer) when second in the Jack Richards at the Cheltenham Festival (about 2m4f, good; Regent's Stroll third, Jordans Cross eighth) last month; didn't stay 3m on sole attempt but that came on heavy ground and the experiment looks worth another go; player.

J: Anna McGuinness

T: W P Mullins

Non-stayer over 3m on heavy ground last time; consistent form otherwise this term features two Grade 3 wins and a couple of 8l seconds at Grade 1 level; useful sort but doesn't necessarily look well treated and likely needs improvement to defy top weight in this hot handicap.

J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Smart form in the first half of the season, with a hat-trick featuring two Grade 3 events; no match for the top-class Romeo Coolio when beaten 8l in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse, beaten the same distance by Final Demand at Limerick, form let down by the winner at the DRF; three Irish wins on goodish ground, heavy going is a concern, though won it over hurdles in France.

J: John Shinnick

T: W P Mullins

Expensive French recruit; failed to live up to price tag over hurdles and flopped on his only chase start last season; hit form in the summer with a hat-trick of chase wins including a pair of Grade 3 contests; no match for Romeo Coolio when beaten 8l in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse but 152-rated performer still merits plenty of respect.

T: W P Mullins

Expensive French recruit; failed to live up to price tag over hurdles and flopped on his only chase start last season; now paying his way with three consecutive wins since May; form of Galway festival success from stablemate Westport Cove has been well-advertised; straightforward task at Tipperary last time.
