Dermot Weld has enjoyed some excellent results with stayers of late and has two with strong claims in the Tote November Handicap as the curtain comes down at Leopardstown.
Hidden Universe is the choice of Pat Smullen after finding only one too good in the Irish Cesarewitch last time, while Hisaabaat, who was last seen finishing fourth in the Galway Hurdle, is a particularly strong second string.
Jumps trainers have enjoyed success in the race in the past and Willie Mullins saddles both Digeanta and Clondaw Warrior, but perhaps of greater interest is Sir Michael Stoute's British raider Stomachion, a winner at Doncaster last time.
Weld opts to drop Afternoon Sunlight down to seven furlongs for the Listed thetote.com Knockaire Stakes after finding Parish Hall marginally too strong over 10 furlongs last time.
She comes up against a couple of Parish Hall's stablemates here as Jim Bolger runs Flight Risk and Intensical, while Aidan O'Brien's Francis Of Assisi and the bang-in-form Seanie add further intrigue.
O'Brien runs Order Of St George in the LIsted thetote.com Eyrefield Stakes, where the Newmarket fifth meets Bolger's Parish Boy, who got the better of the argument when the pair met at Naas, and Weld's Zafilani, who struck on his debut at Tipperary.
Easter was a solid second on her debut at Navan and could get the meeting off to a winning start for O'Brien in the Tote Pick6 Races 1 To 6 EBF Fillies Maiden at 12.40.
The Ballydoyle operation rely on two newcomers in the thetote.com EBF Maiden, with Seamie Heffernan riding 3.6million-guinea colt Sir Isaac Newton, while Colm O'Donoghue gets the leg up on Gran Paradiso, another son of Galileo who is out of a half-sister to Derby hero Ruler Of The World.
Weld could have the final say on the card, as his Kaleefa lost by a nose on her debut and bids to go one better in the Download The Tote Mobile App Maiden.
