On his first start over flights in more than six years, JERANDME ran a cracker to finish third at Sligo last month. An eight-time winner, the 11-year-old clearly retains plenty of ability and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end in a contest of this quality. Successful in a claiming hurdle at Roscommon in July, Ahead Of The Posse is an obvious danger, while Oh So Charming, Rexem, Boston Jury and Nitty Gritty are others for the shortlist. A winner at Killarney in July, the latter returns to much calmer waters after disappointing in a competitive 20-runner contest at Galway on his latest outing.
CAFE CON LECHE is hard to catch right but he is well treated on these terms on his runner up effort earlier in the spring and he will find this much easier than his latest assignment. If getting a strong pace to aim at he can defeat the class angle in the race Jerandme. That rival has been running back into form of late and was formerly a very useful staying chaser. He is well treated on his flat and chase form so should pose a challenge along with Spring Meadow who was a bit too keen last time but was in good form prior to that.
Improved from debut when comfortably held in a bumper over 2m2f at Cork last time; off a short break. Likely to progress over hurdles at 2m4f+ having been a 3m point winner.

Gavin Cromwell's COURT CANYON might be able to take this on his first try over flights. Out of five-time winner Elusive Ivy, who Cromwell also trained, the selection won a point-to-point on debut, before disappointing in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival. A much more encouraging fifth on his most recent start at Cork, he was a place behind subsequent Roscommon winner Walks The Talk. Five of these clashed at Navan last month, with Shing Shang Lily faring best on that occasion. The Cian Collins-trained four-year-old was just ahead of Garnetot and Lion Of The Desert at the Proudstown Park venue, and there is again likely to be little between the trio. Point-to-point winners Katie Daniels and Bly Manor are others for the shortlist.
Point winner COURT CANYON showed minor promise in both of his bumper starts and is expected to get off the mark over hurdles at the first time of asking. He should relish this longer trip and his yard usually has them well schooled. Bly Manor was also successful in points and ran well for a long way on her hurdles debut. She ultimately paid the price for going too quickly that day but can take a big step forwards and provide the main challenge if going a more sensible gallop. Shing Shang Lily didn't find much for pressure last time but she did travel well to a point and a similar effort can see her complete the places.
Made mistakes, outpaced and below form on chase debut, never involved and comfortably held in a beginners' chase over 2m at Wexford last time. Trainer in form, off a short break, and may be one for handicaps given connections.
Successful in two hurdle races at 2m on good ground, also won a flat race in July. Well beaten at 2-1fav behind Ma Belle Etoile when sixth of 7 on her chase debut at Wexford over 2m (good) in July.

Many of these disappointed when last seen, with CHOSEN SHANT one of them. Up to a career high mark of 107 after back to back wins at Wexford, she finished down the field at Listowel on her latest start. She mightn't have enjoyed the testing conditions at the Kerry circuit and back on quicker ground now, an improved performance can be expected. In truth, a case can be made for almost the entire field, with top-weight Jeaniemacaroney sure to have plenty of supporters. A beaten favourite at Kilbeggan on her latest start, it'll be interesting to see if the application of cheekpieces have the desired effect on Smiling Bess. Already twice successful this season, Queenofthelodge warrants the utmost respect, while course winner Colleen Danu and Leah's Contessa are others for the shortlist.
FLIDAIS returned to form last time where she was just outstayed over slightly further on ground softer than ideal. She is now 7lb below her last winning mark and if building on her latest run will be tough to beat back down in trip. Previous course winner Colleen Danu's last run was worth marking up as she challenged too soon so she looks a big danger back at this venue. Jeaniemacaroney is yet to prove up to this mark in this sphere but she is potentially well treated judged on her flat form so isn't ruled out off top weight either.
Went clear and ran to form under an aggressive ride, jumping much better when second and beaten 14l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest. Effective at 2-2 1/4m and goes well on good; in good form in maidens.
Placed in a hurdle race from nine starts. Beaten 14l by Nelson Muntz when second of 14 at 7-2 on her latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Kilbeggan over 2m (good - yielding) last month, her only placing from 9 starts.

HOPE SHE FLIES was entered for this prior to her breakthrough win at Roscommon on Monday so it could turn out to be a well-executed plan by connections. Upped 10lb for that all-the-way success, she carries a 7lb penalty here. A close fourth at Downpatrick on his latest start and with Eoin Staples again on board, Newport is the second choice. Demanding Gerry, Backwithyourown and Jaadil all filled the runner-up spot when last seen and it will come as no surprise if any of them manages to go a place better. Sixth in what was probably a stronger contest at Listowel, Polly Poppins warrants respect. Handicap debutant Le Diablo is another for the shortlist.
An open race where recent winner Hope She Flies is likely to prove popular if she turns out quickly. However marginal preference is for JAADIL who has been in excellent form in handicaps of late and her last run is worth marking up considerably as she did much the best of those forcing a strong pace. If ridden positively again at this sharper track she could be tough to catch. Bella Union is another who challenged too early in the UK last time but she is fairly treated on that and can get involved if ridden slightly more conservatively.
Short of room but travelled comfortably and is well treated on hurdle form. Improved up in trip when scoring by 4l off 91 at Killarney three starts back; below form when seventh, beaten 29l off 100 last time; versatile ground wise.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 7f on ground varying from good - yielding to yielding - soft. Well beaten at 4-1 behind Hees Dynamite when seventh of 9 on his latest outing in a chase at Killarney over 2m 5f (good) in August.

POETIC FOCUS should give a good account of herself in this competitive affair. The five-year-old ran her best race to date when fourth of 18 at Galway on her latest start and with Eoin Staples claiming a valuable 7lb, it will be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. Not seen since finishing a good fourth on her handicap debut at Limerick in April, it will be interesting to see how Great Bird fares, while Smallcraftwarning, Coffeys Forge, Arrycan and Wing Back are other leading hopes. The latter made the breakthrough at Downpatrick before finishing a close third when bidding to follow up at the same venue.
An open race where a number look potentially well handicapped. COFFEYS FORGE recorded a rating 15lb above his current mark when successful over fences at the first time of asking so with the trip and ground in his favour he is the narrow preference on his hurdles return. Arrycan is another who gets to race off a much lower mark over hurdles and after hinting at a revival over fences last time he is strongly respected. It is Wing Back who may prove the biggest threat though having held his form on his follow up attempt last time where he found 2m too sharp. He is open to further progress over this longer distance.
Made too much use of back on the flat and set it up for a closer when comfortably held in a handicap over 2m2f at Bellewstown last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f-2m6f, may not get 3m.
He has won two hurdle races and a chase from 2m 3f to 2m 7f on good and good - yielding ground. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Winning Smut when 11th of 19 on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race at Galway over 2m 6f (good) in August.

Out of action for over two and a half years, OCEAN OF MERCY has been in fine form since returning in May. Making the breakthrough on his penultimate start, he since followed up on his first try over fences. Now bidding to complete a hat-trick, he is likely to be well-suited by this step up in trip to 3m. Closely matched on their run at Galway, Donnie Devito and What's Up Darling are obvious contenders. The Gordon Elliott-trained latter is the highest rated of those with a mark and in first time cheekpieces, he'll be well-fancied to follow-up on his Killarney success. Back over fences for the first time since June, Baltic Bird warrants respect, as does Ambitious Fellow, who finished second in the Connacht National on his penultimate start.
OCEAN OF MERCY was an impressive winner on his chase debut and is fancied to follow up in this better contest. The form of his reappearance over hurdles following a lay off has been franked at Listed level and he likely has more to offer in this sphere over this longer trip. What's Up Darling belatedly shed his maiden tag in this sphere last time but he had been highly tried in top handicaps prior to that so he should remain competitive at this level. The steadily progressive Donnie Devito relished the step up in trip last time and should have even more to offer at 3m so also rates a big threat.
Made mistakes, outpaced and unable to go the gallop over an inadequate trip when comfortably held in a beginners' chase over 2m1f at Tipperary last time. Off a short break and looks to need further.

Made too much use of and was comfortably held in a 2m7f handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time. Out of form.

SPELLACY'S CROSS is the suggestion in this weak affair. Runner-up four times this year, the Jimmy Barcoe-trained six-year-old certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. With seven victories between them, Romella and Baltinglass Hill are obvious dangers. Although yet to win over fences, the latter wasn't beaten too far when fifth at Tramore on his latest start. Sent off favourite on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Punchestown in January, Toon Town made a bad mistake three out and was soon pulled up. Now tried in a first-time tongue-strap, it will be interesting to see how he fares. Sea Of Doubt, Andyourbirdcansing and Applejack Poet are others capable of making an impact.
SEA OF DOUBT ran well for a long way on her first completed start over fences and looks well treated now tackling handicaps. If her jumping holds up she can get the better of Andyourbirdcansing who is well treated on her autumn 2024 efforts and has been running into for recently. Applejack Poet looked a huge threat when coming down last time and has to be respected as well off an unchanged mark.
