Selected odds by:
Wasn't in a winning position when falling at the 10th in a 3m1f Kilbeggan handicap chase last month last month following a win at Tramore earlier. May have the measure of a couple of rivals here.
Third of 10 beaten 9l as a disappointing beaten favourite in a Killarney 2m4½f handicap chase before a disappointing spin round Cork last month. Needs to improve.
Six-race chase maiden last seen over the larger obstacles when finishing sixth of 14 beaten 26L at the Galway festival. Has work to do on that form.
Nothing of note in three dismal chase starts to date - despite finishing position at Tramore in June - and looks up against it here.
Winner over hurdles in the summer but is without a win over fences in six starts. Looks opposable.
Course winner over hurdles where he is a lowly rated 102 handicapper. Without a win in three starts over the larger obstacles and plenty to prove in this contest.

The former Phillip Hobbs inmate, ALLEE BLEUE can get off the mark at the first time of asking for for trainer Gordon Elliott and new connections. The eight-year-old son of Mount Nelson can see off the attentions of the Jessica Harrington-trained Fintara and Matin D'anjou who has won two of his last four chase starts.
