Stage Star only had to be pushed out to score at Chepstow but WESEEKHIMHERE won at Galway in the summer and improved again to score at Listowel so may be good enough to complete the hat-trick. Grandeur D'Ame and Good Risk At All will need to improve on their Newton Abbot form to figure and Conceroe probably also needs more but Firestep is worth a market check given connections.
