Swingbridge completed a hat-trick in August, the last two victories coming over fences, and can race from a 15lb lower mark back over timber. He's run well enough in defeat the last twice to suggest he can get into the frame again. CARRIGREADY signalled a return to form at Tramore and looked a progressive type when scoring comfortably at Thurles. He's up 7lb but still looks on a reasonable mark and can go in again. Aa Bee See is 13lb higher than when landing a Fairyhouse handicap in April but won on the Flat back there last month and, with conditions likely to be in his favour again, should go close. Sir Ector was out of his depth here last month but his previous runs, including a victory at Sligo, put him in the picture while Icantsay reverts to hurdles on a 17lb lower mark after three runs over fences including a victory at Listowel.
