Not seen since holding off Carrolls Cottage over 2m2f here in December; runs well fresh

16lb well in over fences but just not as good a chaser; should be a contender for all that
5	Freddie Robdal b J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Henry De Bromhead	164	t	1-3366	105	113	84	70d	—	—	+14	23.3	17/2 11%
Mostly consistent since until running poorly at Tramore in August; chance at his best
6	Croi Corcra b J:Ricky Doyle T:Colin Bowe	J:Ricky Doyle T:Colin Bowe	163	—	8P6331	104	103	11	14d	—	—	+21	29.2	10 10%
Drop back in trip not guaranteed to suit but comes here in form and looks a contender
11	Ventnor b J:Shane O'Callaghan(5) T:James M Barcoe	J:Shane O'Callaghan(5) T:James M Barcoe	140	—	630-P7	81	106	-	5d	—	—	-1	11.1	7 14%
29-race maiden and a big ask here from 5lb out of the handicap
9	Made In The Woods br J:J J Slevin T:Norman Lee	J:J J Slevin T:Norman Lee	155	h	22147-	96	112	97	195d	—	—	+13	21.4	10 10%
Not seen since April and might need the run but could make a bold bid from the front
4	Carrolls Cottage b J:Brian Hayes T:Philip Fenton	J:Brian Hayes T:Philip Fenton	165	—	7756P-	106	114	87	203d	—	—	+7	16.7	7/1 13%
Disappointing profile in recent times; handles the ground and has a chance at his best
2	Ally Cay b J:Mr S Cavanagh(7) T:Paul W Flynn	J:Mr S Cavanagh(7) T:Paul W Flynn	167	p	/8-745	108	105	86	31d	—	—	+11	15.9	16/1 6%
Little impression in her first two races over fences; well held in fifth on handicap debut
3	Politicise b J:Carl Millar(7) T:Nigel Thomas Slevin	J:Carl Millar(7) T:Nigel Thomas Slevin	166	p	46-26P	107	115	105	132d	—	—	+10	15.9	14 7%
No win for three years and best watched here after four months off

Well beaten in a novice chase at Cork 11 days ago after a break of 17 months; best watched
10	Astrophysicist b J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:J A Nash	J:Gavin Brouder(5) T:J A Nash	149	—	430-00	90	91	71	14d	—	—	+8	10.8	28 4%
Well beaten in two runs this month and looks a most unlikely player
