7th	1	9	Final Voyage (G) Scored at Cork in April but not proved easy to catch right since, though shaped as if back in form when fourth of 10 at the Curragh 12 days ago. Back down in grade and makes the shortlist.	170284	Ross Fagan J P Murtagh	8	63.5kg	9.50 17/2

4th	3	4	Retracement (G) Curragh handicap winner last year. Turned in best effort of this campaign when fourth at Leopardstown in July but hasn't been seen to best effect on last 2 starts. Needs a couple of these to falter.	0-67405	Jessica Maye J P Murtagh	5	61.2kg	23 22/1
3rd	4	7	God Of Power (G) Confirmed debut promise at the second attempt when winning a 7f Limerick maiden on return. Maintained his form in small-field minor events after but struggled in a large-field handicap last time. Has…	124320	Jimmy Dalton A Slattery	3	60.3kg	9 8/1

5th	6	5	Rock Of Claremont (G) P Well-related son of Profitable who improved again when off the mark in Gowran maiden 6 weeks ago in this headgear. That form has taken some knocks but remains unexposed heading into handicaps.	531	Billy Lee A Oliver	3	58.1kg	6.50 11/2
9th	7	10	Flame Of Forest (G) Winner on second start for Karl Burke last year and good runner-up efforts to end the campaign (handicap debut final outing). Down the field all 3 starts for this yard, though.	22-0079	Wayne Lordan N Lupini	4	57.6kg	26 25/1
2nd	8	1	Chapel Lane (G) V Got off the mark in 13-runner maiden at Navan (1m) last month. Found run of progressive form come to a halt in minor event at the Curragh last time. Back handicapping over this significantly longer t…	673216	Ben Coen W McCreery	3	57.2kg	23 22/1
6th	9	2	Quatre Bras (G) FAV Capitalised on a falling mark over C&D in September and backed that up despite being 2 lb out of the handicap when second of 5 again here over 1½m last week. Drops back in grade and remains well trea…	465712	Andrew Slattery R O'Brien	5	57.2kg	4 3/1
11th	10	3	Darkdeserthighway (M) B Left the impression she should have won when second in 22-runner handicap at Leopardstown in August and shaped as if still in form next 2 starts. However, she was below form at Punchestown (9f, good)…	624700	Reese Holohan M O'Callaghan	8	54.9kg	19 18/1
10th	11	8	Wie Wunderbar (F) Placed twice in Germany and made the perfect start for current connections when winning 11f handicap at Naas in August. Placed both starts since, latest when length second to Shay's Dream at Killarne…	362132	Keithen Kennedy Mrs J Harrington	3	54kg	8.50 15/2
