Lord Esker (IRE) This course winner had been in good form prior to his last run, however he was disappointing last time out and he is weighted up to the hilt.
Eastdon Gold Dust Has been in good form of late, ran well over a trip short of his best last time out and he is a danger to all.
Derring Dove Could go well at a fair price but he will need to brush up on his jumping when the pressure is applied to win.
Alakdar (CAN) Is weighted up to the hilt at present and his best form is over a shorter trip, others preferred.
Secret Can't Say (IRE) Would have good chance on his best form but is very temperamental and for that reason is readily passed over.
Roseta (IRE) Came back to form last time out but consistency is not his strong point and for that reason he is passed over.
Derra Glen (IRE) Has not been in good form of late and he will need to improve to win this.
Stepasideboy Has a long absence to overcome and he will need to improve on his best to win, others preferred.
Dragon King Likes this course is in good form and he is a danger to all.
Butler John (IRE) Is well handicapped on his best form ran well last time out and he looks the one to beat.
Fifth Generation (IRE) Is better with cut in the ground and he may get out paced on this ground, others preferred.
Leila Is out of the handicap and will need to improve to win.
