Free Should find the trip within his compass but faces a stiff task giving weight away all round.
Tiger Grass (IRE) He has won over course and distance but his recent efforts leave him a little short of the mark.
Rosco Very consistent over the last couple of seasons and is sure to be involved in the shake-up, one to consider.
Etourneau II (FR) Failed to impress when last seen out and has a lot to prove after a long lay-off.
Cross The Suir (IRE) Lightly raced for an eleven-year-old and is capable on his day, but is not one to rely on too heavily in a finish.
Hopeful Lord (IRE) Stable in-form and capable of a bold show if on song, one to consider.
Danger Flynn (IRE) Goes well fresh but off the track since April 1999 and best watched.
My Tern (IRE) Won here on heavy ground a couple of seasons ago but is trying this trip for the first time, best watched.
Marchaway (IRE) Another best watched after a long lay off.
Leitrim Cottage (IRE) Suited by a test of stamina and should not be inconvenienced by the underfoot conditions, one to consider.
Hardy Breeze (IRE) Goes well here but looks to have a little to find on the balance of form.
Thursday-Fourball (IRE) Best watched after 343 days away from competitive action.
Freddie Muck Acts on the going and should not be troubled by the distance but he has a poor strike-rate for one and his reappearance effort at Worcester in August left a little to be desired; best watched.
