Just the four go to post for Roscommon's Grade Three Irish Stallion Farms EBF Kilbegnet Novice Chase, but it should provide a springboard to some of the better races during the winter.
The field is headed by The Game Changer, who has taken really well to fences, with three wins and two seconds from five starts, and was runner-up at this level behind Rock The World at Galway earlier in the month.
King Of The Picts is a 139-rated hurdler but the top weight's main danger is likely to come in the shape of Sizing Platinum, who has come into his own since being switched to the bigger obstacles and disposed of Rock The World at the Ballybrit Festival.
The line-up is completed by Give Her Bach who, on all known evidence, has a mountain to climb.
Red Stars has shown plenty of promise in her two runs so far and attempts to make it third-time lucky in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden (2.15).
John Oxx's youngster was fourth in the warm maiden won by Anamba on Irish Champions Weekend and holds the reopposing Orangey Red on that.
The latter's stablemate Tadaany tops the list for the Follow Roscommon On Facebook Handicap and does so on the back of a breakthrough success at Listowel.
Flannery also shed his maiden tag when last seen and tries to defy a 5lb hike in the Athlone Apprentice Handicap.
Aidan O'Brien has had to wait until the autumn of his three-year-old career to get Prospector on to a racecourse and, as a half-brother to Mastercrafstman, the $1.4m purchase has a lot to live up to in the www.roscommonracecourse.ie Maiden.
Old Supporter is on a hat-trick mission in the Roscommon On-Course Vets Handicap Chase, while For Pedro strives to build on his recent Listowel second in the Munsboro Maiden Hurdle.
