Talented stayer would probably have won with a clearer passage and had three of these behind when fine second in Irish Cesarewitch over C&D; revised mark means he's the one to beat although one imagines he was trained to peak for that latest race which is a slight concern.

9st 4lb |
Although beaten in the last two editions of this won by Stratum, he was under 2l away 12 months ago and drying ground will aid his cause no end; good and bad under both codes in the meantime but he's one who won't be fazed by this unique test. |

OR: 101
Grade 1 winner over hurdles and capable of very useful form on the level including when touched off in last year's Irish Cesarewitch; ran respectably when only 10-1 chance for Ascot Gold Cup; 1m4f was too sharp when third at Galway but never got into the race when one of the leading fancies for the Irish Cesarewitch; she's a lot better than that so not ruled out.

Admirable dual-purpose performer was getting 7lb when just behind Falcon Eight in Irish Cesarewitch where he had a clear run and every chance; travelled well until not getting home when sixth in English equivalent; has had hard races but might be capable of another big performance.

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
A fourth and two seconds in the last three runnings of the Galway Hurdle; also a force on the Flat, winning at Killarney (1m6f) in August and close fourth of 30 in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (2m1f, soft) three weeks ago; in-form contender who needs plenty of respect. |

Gowran Listed winner over 1m6f on seasonal/yard debut in May; unlucky in running in 1m4f Galway Listed contest in September; later that month, couldn't really land a blow when sixth in Irish Cesarewitch and, although better off at the weights, is held by Falcon Eight and Jesse Evans on that form.

Listed winner at Down Royal in the summer and useful stayer at her best; placed in previous two runnings of Naas November Handicap over this trip but hard to fancy after trailing home last in this year's edition.

Grand 9yo is another useful dual-purpose horse and well placed to win his last two starts over 1m6f, most recently when making all to beat four rivals in 1m6f Listed contest at Chester two months ago; on paper his new mark doesn't leave him with much to find but might find a couple too strong.

Acquitted himself with credit in big races last term and back on song when winning at Galway four weeks ago on latest outing, most of those runs at 1m6f; Irish raider who should not be far away. |

British-trained visitor handles soft but is lowest-rated of these; finished ahead of Falcon Eight over marathon trip at Royal Ascot and was respectable eighth of 31 in Cesarewitch at Newmarket latest but long time winless and hard to fancy.

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
No win since handicap debut two years ago; solid runs this year include her fourth in the 2m5f Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (good to firm) and third over 1m6f at Goodwood (soft) last time, but career best is needed. |
33/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
27th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft; absent since finishing midfield in the 2m4f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; some creditable efforts otherwise this term, including in York Group 3 and the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot; on a ten-race losing sequence and doesn't seem the easiest to place but has possibilities dropped back in trip/grade. |
8/1 |
