The newcomers could well decide this but LISZT looks the pick of the runners with racecourse experience. He was a decent fourth at Leopardstown in July and can build on that. Fergus McIver shaped with promise when third at Navan on debut and there should be plenty more to come. Keep an eye on the betting for clues about the debutants.

EBASHAN is the clear pick of those with experience after clocking up a hat-trick of seconds. This trip should suit and soft ground holds no fears. Newcomer Byzantine could be the pick of the O'Brien pair as stablemate Von Jawlensky was well held here last time. Slieve Mish should learn from her debut effort at Navan and can run into a place.

SNAP sneaks in at the bottom of the weights and looks a good each-way shout after going down in a photo at the Curragh last time. He likes it soft and has no problem with this trip. Lee Applause drops in trip after a game second at Navan last time. He's up the weights but should be on the premises. Sara Cara is up just 2lb for a good run at Cork last time and is on the short-list.

DESIGNATED DECOY went down in a photo at Fairyhouse last time and should be good enough to get off the mark here. He handles some cut and looks the one to beat. Liberty Eclipse was a solid second at the Curragh last time and is on the upgrade. She can push the selection all the way, while Slaney Wave should be in the frame after a good run at Fairyhouse last time.

MONT IZU drops down from handicap company and should go well over his favourite trip. He is the clear pick on official ratings and handles soft ground. Elbasana is nicely bred and wouldn't have to be a world-beater to figure on her debut, while Forest Minx wasn't beaten far at Tramore last time and has place claims.

RUE DE CABESTAN continues in good form and she wasn't beaten far at Navan last time after earlier winning at Cork. She likes it soft and this trip should be fine. Gra Geal Mo Chroi carries a penalty for winning at Limerick last time and she's got every chance of following up on ideal ground. Vertigo On Course went well at Galway last time and is another to note.

HAVETOAVIT is better known as a decent hurdler but he's got some solid form on the level and can go close. He looks on a fair weight and goes in soft ground. Diamond Fire is 6lb higher than his last win but looks open to improvement so shouldn't be written off. Katcarhue went well at Tramore last time and looks on a fair weight.
