Wonder Weasel (IRE) A winner over 2m3f in Jan but should be better over 3m. Yard in form and cannot go unnoticed.
Bouchasson (FR) Has not produced his best form for a long time, on most recent form he is hard to fancy.
Chalmers Place (IRE) A good win over 2m4f when beating the Major last year. A good run off top weight when just beaten over 2m6f on seasonal reappearance.
Strong Paladin (IRE) Beat Chalmer's Place last time, similarly weighted today. Has been running well recently; cannot be ignored.
Jack Doyle (IRE) A hatrick of wins in 1998; clearly not the horse he once was.
Martha's Boy (IRE) Successful and lightly raced (Hunter Chases) 1998, didn't run 1999 and 2000, pulled up on his reappearance in January this year; easily opposed.
Lord O'All Seasons (IRE) Very lightly raced, beat Lucky Ross in February when winning at Leicester. Looks like he's going to get better; one to note today.
Bitofamixup (IRE) Got to a mark of 130 May 1998, has since been on the decline. Hasn't seen a race track for nearly two years with one point to point run in between; others preferred.
Peacemaker (IRE) A winner over the summer but has been taking on better company since and gone right up in the Handicap. Off a good weight but a bit to find to win this.
