Verdict
QUATRE BRAS was better than ever when a ready winner at this track 3 weeks ago. That form looks solid and he's taken to follow up. Gentleman Joe finished runner-up over 2m here last time but looks a danger if again getting the run of the race, while smart hurdler Gaucher remains of interest from this mark on just his second Flat start.

VerdictSmart hurdler proved as good as ever when fortunate winner of Grade 3 at Tipperary in October. Not seen to best effect on Flat debut when fourth in 2m handicap here (Gentleman Joe runner-up in same race), not unduly punished. Could be well treated if things fall right down in trip. - 7.

VerdictChased home Lady Lunette here prior to bouncing back to his best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (10.7f) 21 days ago, quickening clear to enhance fine all-weather record. That form looks solid and he's one to be interested in as he bids to follow up. - 4. Gentleman JoeJ: A. S. GrantT: Henry de Bromhead, IrelandF: 250-10142

VerdictArrives in good heart with 2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest win at Leopardstown in July. As good as ever when second of 13 in handicap at this course (16f, 8/1) 7 days ago, very much having run of race. Down in trip but should go well again in a race lacking pace on paper.

VerdictWon a handicap at Sligo in August and capitalised on a drop in grade to make it two wins from 4 starts when successful in an 11-runner handicap at this C&D (20/1) 35 days ago by ¾ length from Quatre Bras. Up 4 lb but should remain competitive with tongue tie retained.

VerdictLanded hat-trick here in 2023/24 season and still in good form when last seen finishing respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (11f). Off 20 months and market may prove best guide on his reappearance.

VerdictStill fairly useful earlier this year, latest win at Gowran in July but lost form for Adrian Murray, latest seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 56 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can bounce back on first start for Robson De Aguiar.
