Storm Tiger (IRE) Has been unlucky not to win this season, still looks progressive but may have too much to find at top weight today.
Medium Wave C&D winner penultimate start in these conditions, everything in his favour today; must be respected.
My Galliano (IRE) Well beaten when falling here last time on his chasing debut, respectable form over hurdles; cannot be ignored if jumping is together.
Michigan Blue Won here over a bit further earlier in the month, looked to be an improved performance and further improvement can be expected.
Deliceo (IRE) His better form is on softer ground, likely to find others better on this sounder surface.
Gunner B Special A winner on the soft, this is where his best form lies. 4L beaten on GS latest over 2m1f, will prefer 2m; cannot be dismissed.
Damien's Choice (IRE) Easy winner in these conditions last time but over hurdles, chase form is not up to scratch with hurdle form, but has been showing signs of improvement so not to be passed over.
Ballinliss Lad (IRE) PU when blundering latest. His win penultimate start was on GF. Difficult to assess his ability and best conditions.
