Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 34 lengths into eighth in a steeplechase (3621m) at Galway. Needs to find a bit more to feature.

Has now stretched out to 20 career starts without breaking through. Others look more appealing.

Returns from a 204-day spell. Generally goes well when fresh, with two wins and a placing from three first-up runs. Kicked off last prep successfully in a maiden hurdle (3922m) at Clonmel. Has ability and worth including.

Is a very good fresh performer returning from a 209-day layoff. Kicked off with a minor placing in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Punchestown when last in work. Capable of playing a role in the finish.

Kicked off this campaign nicely in a steeplechase (3218m) at Wexford nearly four weeks ago, finishing third. Fitter and can find winning form this time.

Resumes after seven months. Form last preparation was very good, winning two times. Looks a key chance here fresh.

Wasn't fancied but returned from a 212-day spell on October 31 with a sound third in a steeplechase (4023m) at Down Royal, beaten 29 lengths. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Unplaced in two outings this campaign, both over the jumps. Finished seventh when fresh from a spell then was 20 lengths away in seventh more recently in a G3 Handicap Chase (4828m) at Listowel. Certainly worth including.

Second-up didn't finish the race at Galway on October 26 over 4526m. Might find this a bit too tough.

Finished runner-up but well held by the easy winner last start when beaten 11 lengths in a steeplechase (3822m) at Limerick. Looks well placed in this line-up and can go one better.
