Mare loves a stamina test and in great form of late; big player back hurdling

Solid placed form of late gives him similar claims here

Ballinrobe winner with valid excuses last time; remains of interest

Decent return to hurdles at Roscommon recently but more needed to play a major role here

Downpatrick maiden second encouraging; extreme stamina test an unknown though
6	Lets Do This Bay J:Kieren Buckley T:Cian Michael Collins	J:Kieren Buckley T:Cian Michael Collins	155	—	P/4-80	93	99	52	40d	—	—	0	15.2	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Bred for this sort of stamina test so potential improver entering handicaps
3	Dinoland Bay J:Ben Harvey T:John C Mcconnell	J:Ben Harvey T:John C Mcconnell	163	p	093422	101	114	94	22d	—	—	+5	29.4	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Narrowly beaten by Menindee over C&D two starts back; 2lb better off so should get close
7	Old Chap Bay J:Daniel King T:Paul John Gilligan	J:Daniel King T:Paul John Gilligan	155	—	0660-7	93	106	68	9d	—	—	+5	12.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Now 0-11 hurdling, recent Ballinrobe effort okay but remains plenty high in the handicap

Out of form of late, faller over fences the last twice; hard to be confident in
10	Oldtown To Emly Bay J:Kieran Callaghan(2) T:K A Heffernan	J:Kieran Callaghan(2) T:K A Heffernan	150	—	067	88	93	56	9d	—	—	+7	10.3	6.75/1	28 4%

Veteran remains a maiden and hard to see him making the breakthrough here

Pulled up on recent comeback after a year off; hard to fancy
