Young Thruster (IRE) Plenty to prove after successive absences but this isn't a particularly strong heat.
Bally Lira Course specialist who is off a winning mark but would probably need it a lot softer if showing best.
Folly Road (IRE) Veteran chaser who is probably just a little too long in the tooth these days.
Garolsa (FR) Has contested in higher grade but hasn't been in the best form of late.
Very Very Noble (IRE) Former hunter-chaser; still potentially well-treated on old form and has to be the one to beat.
Abacus (IRE) Would need to show improvement from a win in a Southwell chase some time ago but clearly at the right stable to show it.
Coolteen Hero (IRE) Difficult to fancy.
Time To Parlez Passed over at present.
