Down Royal 16:37 Odds Comparison

Fairly useful form when winning over hurdles at Downpatrick in June but yet to get close to that level over fences and looked stretched by 3m trip when ninth here when last seen in November, so extra distance far from certain to suit.

Winner of a mares maiden hurdle at Killarney in June and has shown aptitude for chasing when in the frame in mares novices at Naas and Thurles. Let down by jumping at Clonmel since but opening mark looks workable.

Useful winner at his best over hurdles, though it's now more than 4 years since his last success and has failed to figure in 4 starts over fences this season (said to have bled on handicap debut at Limerick last time).

Won at Kilbeggan in May for Declan Queally but failed to match that form in 2 outings for Gordon Elliott. New yard has a good record of reviving new recruits and he took a step back in the right direction when 30½ lengths sixth of 17 to The Gradual Slope at Fairyhouse (21f) last week.

Showed fair form without really threatening to win over hurdles. Jumped poorly on chase debut and merely closed up late when fifth in a beginners' event at Leopardstown (21.6f) last month, but he could well do better now handicapping over further.

Had dropped a long way in the weights before returning to form to win a 17-runner handicap chase (16/1) at Fairyhouse (21.2f, soft) 8 days ago. Benefited from being help up in strongly-run race there but 5 lb rise is manageable on his peak form.

Placed in a trio of maiden hurdles and similar form over fences when third of 14 on handicap debut at Fairyhouse in January. Disappointing in amateurs race at Leopardstown last time but remains low mileage and has benefit of Kennedy taking the ride.

Thorough stayer who is without a win in 18 outings over fences, though he ran better than for a while fitted with cheekpieces when fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Clonmel (23.6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit.

Largely held form well across a busy autumn/winter campaign, winning a maiden chase at Thurles and finishing in the frame on 6 further occasions. Has run well fresh before and might be worth chancing with O'Keeffe taking the ride.

Long-standing maiden but produced one of his better efforts when fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.6f, soft) 40 days ago. Regular amateur retains the mount.

Point winner was pulled up on both outings over hurdles this year having returned from a lengthy absence. Jumped tentatively switched to chasing when fifth at Clonmel (23f) 10 days ago and others are preferred.

Multiple point winner showed a bit more than previously under Rules when third in a 14-runner mares handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f) 12 days ago. Now needs to back that up stepped up in trip on chase debut.
