Disappointing effort in a Naas bumper on debut and two unseats over hurdles in the interim have hardly bolstered confidence; best watched.

Bective Thunder
Bective Stud-owned half-brother to winners Grangeclare West (smart bumper and 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase), Coeur Joyeux (2m5f/2m6f chase) and Stockburn (3m chase); dam placed in bumpers, half-sister to smart 2m5f-3m2f chase winner Gunner Welburn; interesting.

Looked green but made a bright start when chasing home Mic Drop on rules debut in a Cork bumper; decent fourth over hurdles in the interim and comes here with a fair amount to offer.

Newcomer by Westerner; dam placed 2m4f-3m hurdles, out of unraced half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Coscorrig, is granddaughter of sister to useful bumper and 2m4f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner Mount Clerigo.

50s when brought down after 6f in Naas bumper on debut; far from an ideal start and best left alone on this occasion.

Half-brother to six winners inc Top Of The Bill (useful 2m7f hurdle/3m chase), Call Of The Wild (bumper/2m hurdle) and Chatez (1m Flat inc 2yo, RPR 109; 2m hurdle); dam fourth 9.4f (61), sister to smart chaser Ghizao; stable have a good record in this race; tongue-tied.

Largy Spirit
Satisfactory first day at the office when midfield (fifth) in a Loughanmore 'point'; stable have won this race quite a bit in recent years and fire quite a few darts at the board again; tongue-tied now for rules debut and not one to rule out.

Mount Mason
Dead-heated when winning his second start in UK points and confirmed the promise when runner-up behind a subsequent novice hurdle winner in an Exeter bumper for Joshua Newman; bought for 55,000GBP and looks interesting here on stable debut; tongue-tie added.

6s when slipping up early in a Tattersalls Farm 5yo geldings 'point' maiden on recent debut; hood now fitted for rules debut but looks to have a little to prove.

Polepatrick
Well supported and ran a fine race when hitting the crossbar on debut here in May when chasing home a Crawford-trained (saddles four here) winner; did not help his chance that day by pulling too hard but should be more professional now and ticks lots of boxes.

Strong Link
Didn't make much of an impact in 'points' but acquitted himself well when chasing home the promising Whinney Hill on rules debut at Navan; entitled to benefit from the run and looks only a matter of time before he bags a win; definite shout.

Theflyingking
Odds-on winner of a Loughanmore 4yo geldings 'point' on debut; first division was nine seconds quicker but the form looks reasonable and stable, albeit unsurprisingly, have won two of the last five renewals of this race; will attract much of the spotlight.

Dam pulled up/fell in two 'points', half-sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Whatdoyawanttoknow, out of unraced half-sister to smart 2m3f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Tullymurry Toff; stable has an excellent record in this race and no surprise if she mounts a serious challenge.
