Disappointing at Navan; back in trip but looks to have been found a decent opportunity

Much more exposed than any of these but has proven form and shouldn't be far away

Punchestown maiden winner; tough task to give weight here and probably better over further

Not seen since May but an interesting runner here with ground to suit
