Aasleagh Fawn may well be suited by a first try over 2m and was second off a higher mark at Navan in the summer. Punters Poet is 0-12 but his run over 1m2f here last time was a career-best and he has a chance if he stays, which seems likely given he has run several times over hurdles. NIGHTLY WAILING was successful over course and distance off a higher mark back in 2018. He has run well over shorter trips here the last twice and looks poised to get back to winning ways. Solar System lacks a recent run and takes a big step up in trip but has been very lightly raced and is worth noting for future reference.
