In tremendous form and went very close to completing a hat-trick at Navan last time. Has another 4lb rise to contend with, so likely to need further improvement to win again, but not ruled out.
Held in all four hurdles starts. Enters handicaps on a mark that is not easy to assess, but his best efforts would give him claims. Market check prudent.
Decent effort on his handicap debut when stepped up to this trip at Clonmel recently. Same mark today and looks to have each-way claims at the least.
Stayed on well to score at Hexham last time. Return to 3m should suit. Enters calculations.
Scored over C&D in 2016, but not seen any action since July last year. Well being to prove and probably best watched,
Without a win since 2016 and on a losing run of 17. Well held in both runs last month. Blinkers now fitted, but hard to have much confidence in a revival.
Bumper winner who is 0-7 over hurdles. Has shown nothing for two years. Watch.
Scored over 2m at Wexford in July, when 7lb lower. Another decent effort over 3m at Tipperary last time. Each-way claims if in that mood.
13lb higher here than when recording his only win, at Limerick (2m2f, good) in July. Held from this mark last time, but probably has each-way claims.
Both wins have been on testing ground, but ran well on good-yielding last time when 1½L second at Clonmel (3m). Up 2lb for that. Enters calculations.
Well over two years since she won a Listowel maiden hurdle (2m, good). Inconsistent. Not seen much from her lately. On a handy mark if at her best, but can't rely on her to produce that.
Would have clear form claims if able to reproduce either of his Thurles efforts from autumn last year, but well below that since and not easy to fancy at present.
1lb higher than when scoring at Tramore (2m5f, good) in June. Inconsistent and not sure she sees out this trip.

Forecasts
Plan Of Attack (4/1), Cappacon (6/1), Epsilon Indi (13/2), Isle Of Destiny (7/1), The Ballyboys (8/1), Cher Why Not (8/1), Naturally Blond (8/1), Bye Bye O Bye (10/1), Bennaway (12/1), Madaboy Cross (12/1), Silver Planeur (14/1), Definite Income (25/1), Courtin Bb (33/1), Una's Pleasure (33/1), Baltimore Buzz (33/1), Gold Smoke (33/1)
The suggestion is ISLE OF DESTINY, who had a confidence-booster at Hexham last time, when he got up on the run-in. The return to 3m looks ideal and he is taken to follow-up. Bennaway looks interesting on his handicap debut, while Cappacon has to be much respected along with Plan Of Attack. The Ballyboys, Naturally Blond and Madaboy Cross are others not written off.
- Isle Of Destiny
- Cappacon
- Bennaway
