Selected odds by:
Smart performer who won three times last year, but not at his best for a while, and soundly beaten in three starts since May. Will handle the conditions but needs to improve.
Distance winner who was beaten favourite in October finishing last of nine with something clearly amiss at Leicester when with the David Simcock yard. Well held on stable debut last month and best watched here.
C&D winner who has been a very consistent performer who got his head back in front earlier in the campaign. Holds strong place claims.
Only narrowly denied on heavy ground at Listowel and was not beaten far at Leopardstown last month. Will act on the ground and open to plenty of improvement.
Distance winner but has generally disappointed in a couple of spins at the Curragh last month. May struggle in this contest.
Winner of a Galway rated contest last month finishing a head in front of Onlyhuman over 1m½f. Tougher task here but capable and has conditions to suit.
Well held when finishing down the field in a number of second-rate displays this term. First time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Has been consistent on the Flat this summer without getting his head in front. Will strip fitter for recent run at Gowran Park over hurdles.
Frustrating sort who was tried over 1m1f at Carlisle in August when third of 14 and has since disappointed as favourite on beach at Laytown before winning when not unbacked at Listowel last month off a 6lb lower mark. Entitled to make the shortlist.
C&D winner but has largely struggled on various types of ground since a win and a second at Gowran Park over the summer. Not ruled out but a number of be;ow-par runs to shake off.
Late developer, well beaten and no impression on her most recent disappointing starts at Leopardstown and Naas before a decent effort at Gowran Park on heavy ground last month. Capable of hitting the frame here.
Winner on a couple of occasions on soft ground over 12-months ago. Back near to her last winning mark here and worth a market check on first start since March.
Winner on soft ground previously and is back down to his last winning mark following a couple of defeats on good to firm ground over the summer.
Won a 7f Tipperary maiden in May only to disappoint at the Galway festival when upped in trip before finishing a couple of lengths behind Dream Walker and Onlyhuman in a Gowran Park rated contest last month.
Won a Cork maiden over 1m½f in March but has failed to be any of her rivals home at Navan and Galway since. Hard to place any faith in.
First Reserve: Not beaten far in a series of gallant efforts in defeat including finishing third of 12 beaten a little over 5L at Naas before a second of 16 in a Galway handicap last month. Open to improvement here.

AUSSIE VALENTINE can put his C&D experience to good use here to land the spoils from the duo, Dream Waker and Onlyhuman who meet again following their one-two in a Galway rated contest last month. The Denis Hogan-trained, Turbine and Solar Wave can go well at a price.
