Went very close over a mile and half a furlong on soft ground at Galway on 8 September, finishing second in a performance that gives him a solid claim at this trip. That followed another Galway second over seven furlongs on yielding ground in July, so he brings encouraging form into this handicap from 91. Today's good ground differs from those Galway runs; he was fifth over six furlongs on good at Fairyhouse in July. W. M. Lordan and Aidan O'Brien have combined for 35 winners here, bringing considerable course experience.

He finished fourth over a mile on good ground at Punchestown on 15 September, beaten seven and three quarter lengths, so improvement is needed. He had also been well held when sixth over a mile at the Curragh on 29 August. Today's mile and half a furlong takes him half a furlong further than at Punchestown, with good ground again. Ben Coen's eight winners during the past fortnight provide encouragement, and he teams up with a J. P. Murtagh yard that has also been among the winners.

Won over a mile on soft ground at Naas on 10 October and returns seven days later with that success giving her a clear chance. A mark of 78 is just 1lb higher than her rating at Naas, so the rise asks relatively little extra of her. She goes half a furlong further to a mile and half a furlong, with good ground replacing the soft of her win. Her second over seven furlongs at the Curragh in July, beaten half a length on good to firm, offers encouragement for the drier conditions.

Won over seven furlongs here on good to yielding ground in August and returns from a mark of 77, 2lb below his rating for that success. He has since finished third at the Curragh and Listowel, then second over seven furlongs on soft ground at Naas on 11 October. The Naas winner was six lengths clear, but his Listowel third over a mile offers encouragement for today's mile and half a furlong. He also finished ahead of Hypiradon and Margot Mae at Listowel, giving him a useful piece of form against familiar opposition.

Fifth over a mile on yielding ground at Listowel on 22 September, she was beaten five and a quarter lengths. She finished a length behind Banks Of The Boyne and a quarter of a length behind Hypiradon there, suggesting those rematches need not be one-sided. Her June third over seven furlongs here, beaten a length, came on soft ground rather than today's good going. A mark of 72 is 3lb lower than her rating at Listowel, giving her some help as she steps up another half-furlong.

His fourth over a mile at Listowel on 22 September was a better effort than his August twelfth at Roscommon, although he was still beaten five lengths. He finished three quarters of a length behind Banks Of The Boyne and a quarter of a length ahead of Margot Mae, leaving him closely matched with two familiar rivals. A mark of 71 is 2lb lower than his rating at Listowel, and today's trip takes him half a furlong further. Listowel was on yielding ground; he needs to reproduce that progress on good after finishing tenth here on that going in July.

Won over seven furlongs on the all-weather at Dundalk on 2 October, a marked step forward from his September defeats on turf. A 5lb higher mark of 66 asks more of him, and today's mile and half a furlong is a furlong and a half further. He was beaten 15 lengths over six furlongs on good ground at Cork on 9 September, leaving something to prove back in these conditions. Joseph Patrick O'Brien's seven winners from 49 runners in the past fortnight offer some encouragement from the stable.

Followed his Listowel second with a win over a mile and half a furlong at Thurles on 8 October, confirming his effectiveness at today's trip. He had been beaten a length and a quarter over a mile at Listowel on 21 September. He now meets good ground after good to yielding at Thurles, so conditions differ from those of his recent success. Andrew Slattery has ridden six winners in the past fortnight, and the stable has also been in good form.
