Three-time Flat winner got off the mark over hurdles last time on debut for this yard after a break; up 8lb in weights but can run well again.

10/1 |
Farrokh
Mostly solid runs over fences since winning a Tipperary handicap hurdle a year ago; can be a player if ready on return.

Royal Reprobate
Good 2m run at Limerick on debut for this yard but seemed not to stay 2m5f at Ballinrobe next time; could go well back in trip.

- G B Noonan / E McCarthy

Shadow Paddy
Showed a glimpse of ability in four maidens and is worth a market check on h'cap debut after an absence; tongue-tie on.

- G Brouder / N C Kelly

|
7/2 |
Fort Randall
Was beaten 25l over C&D when last seen but is capable of better for a shrewd yard so keep an eye on the market.

5/1 |
Tubberfinn Lady
Was well backed when showed improvement to win at Kilbeggan over a similar trip to this on third handicap start; a 5lb rise looks fair; big player.

- P Cleary / G Elliott

|
11/1 |
Voice Of Reason
Record of 0-17 over hurdles; is tumbling down the weights but needs to show more before being recommended.

Pulled hard when tailed-off on h'cap debut at Naas so has to leave that well behind; the hood can help.

7/2 |
Quinn The Eskimo
Showed little in three maiden hurdles; however, was fourth to today's rival Malbas (beaten 7.5l) on h'cap debut last time at Fairyhouse; can improve on that from the same mark.

Regressive sort has yet to show winning potential; back after an absence; makes no real appeal.
