Solness
Good winner of a Listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse in December and a good fourth in a similar contest at the Punchestown festival; probably failed to stay in the Galway Plate; has to give away a lot of weight but is back over his best trip and respected in a competitive race.

Je T'ai Porte
In good form of late over fences, winning at Roscommon and twice placed since; very sound jumper and that will give her a chance here.

Senecia
Winning chaser in decent form over hurdles this summer, winning at Killarney and second over 2m here in June; has to bounce back from a poor run at Killarney last month and was pulled up on his last two runs over fences.

The Banger Doyle
6lb higher than when winning a Punchestown handicap chase in June; second twice over hurdles since and a close enough fourth in a 2m Flat handicap at Clonmel since; a better chaser and hard enough to see him out of the shake-up if he produces his best.

Good As Hell
Six-time winner over fences and particularly effective around Tipperary; this track would be quite similar and she has to be respected with ground in her favour.

Magic Tricks
Very consistent performer in big handicap hurdles, getting a deserved turn in a Listed at Down Royal in November; good start to his chasing career when winning a beginners at Down Royal in May; has not matched that in two runs since but is hard to ignore here off this mark with firts-time blinkers tried.

Just lasted out to win a beginners chase at Tipperary last year; not many positives to be gleaned from two runs last month after almost a year off; others preferred.

Consistent although has not won for almost a year; last run at Killarney suggests that stepping up in trip is worth a try; others preferred.

Presenting Lad
In terrific form of late, winning a Roscommon beginners, a Tramore novice chase and reverted back to hurdles to win a Kilbeggan handicap two weeks ago; up 7lb but a tough horse that doesn't know when he's beaten and should go well once again.

Mount Frisco
Mostly progressive chaser, runner-up in a pair of Listaed handicap chases in the spring; well behind Je T'ai Porte at Ballinrobe last time but is better than that and could get into the shake-up.

Losing steak goes back to June last year; did not run badly in a Listed over 2m5f at Killarney last month and is better over that sort of trip.

Skippin Court
Three-time winner for Peter Fahey but not a factor in two runs for his current stable and others look more likely.
