Six Flat wins, added a maiden hurdle win to her record at Ballinrobe 12 months ago; ran up to her handicap mark when third at Killarney in July and not disgraced when second to an in-form rival in a conditions event at Bellewstown last month.

Stormalong
Won a handicap hurdle at Tramore last month off a 7lb lower mark, relegating the well-backed Straight Home to third; faces a rematch with that rival now; put in a solid effort behind the two market leaders in a Flat maiden at Gowran last time.

Vischio
Dual-purpose mare, winner of eight races; career highlight when winning a 1m4f Listed event at the Curragh last November; highly tried on the Flat this year; ran twice over hurdles at the Galway festival, good effort when third in a 20-runner contest on the first occasion.

Steps In The Sand
Won consecutive races over 2m4f at Sligo and Downpatrick in July; appeared not to stay 2m6f here last month; ran creditably to finish third in a 16-runner Flat handicap at Tipperary three weeks ago; never in the hunt at Downpatrick on Friday

Workforadime
0-14 over hurdles, placed twice, including creditable third over 3m at Down Royal last November; ran over the same trip on only start this year, at Bellewstown in April, and was staying on from an unpromising position when falling two out; absent since, potentially interesting if market support arrives.

La Hacienda
Struggled in big amateur Flat handicap at the Galway festival; showed decent over hurdles during the summer, highlighted by a wide-margin win over 2m4f at Sligo; faded into fourth on the run-in when favourite for 2m4f Killarney event.

One Night Standard
Landed modest 2m4f mares' maiden at Wexford in May; remote third on handicap debut at Downpatrick in June; posed no threat at Killarney in July; does not appear to be well handicapped.

Noble Hilltop
Winning yard debut at Punchestown in May; not beaten far in fifth at Cork in July; produced another solid display when second at Wexford last month; seems best at around 2m4f, may find this a bit sharp.

Unexposed mare, makes handicap debut after three maiden runs; open to improvement but this could prove too competitive.

Progressive mare; went up an aggregate 16lb for wins at Kilbeggan and Cork; underlined her improvement with third behind Ask Cillian at Killarney; should be fine with trip and ground.

Ask Cillian
Made an encouraging handicap debut when second at Ballinrobe in May; unplaced next three starts, two of them at staying trips; came good over 2m4f at Killarney last time. had plenty to spare and may remain competitive off 9lb higher.

Katherine
Took advantage of a reduced mark when landing a 2m handicap at Kilbeggan last time; 7lb extra does not seem excessive for a 6l win, and she remains 14lb below her career-high mark.

Straight Home
Point and bumper winner for the Townends in the first half of 2023; failed to prosper over hurdles last season; tailed off on handicap debut at Naas in April; strongly supported at Tramore when fitted with a tongue-tie on first start for champion trainer; looked an awkward ride in finishing behind today's rival Stormalong, but has to be taken seriously.

Was running for the 20th time over hurdles when recording her first win in a 2m3f handicap at Kilbeggan in July; not much luck in running at the same venue last month; seems in good heart, but others preferred on overall form.
