In good form without winning since returning from a year's absence 11 months ago; below par effort in a competitive Punchestown contest in December; cheekpieces tried here; ground versatile and not one to rule out at her best. |

No match for Clifton Warrior at Clonmel but she does have a pull in the weights with that one and probably performed to a similar level at Thurles; consistent mare who should give her running but probably vulnerable. |

Six-time winner has won over fences here and has run well in defeat over hurdles here too; solid runs lately over hurdles and fences, so can be a player. |

Naas winner early last year for former yard after a long absence (2m3f, heavy); backed into favourite when tailed off on stable debut at that venue in January; capable of a better showing than that. |

C&D winner early last year after a long absence; fair third over 3m at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start last season; has changed stable and could go well given his ability to win when fresh. |

Bolted up on yard debut on the back of an absence in January and bounced back from a lesser run when beaten roughly 2l at Fairyhouse earlier this month; both wins on heavy but versatile with regards to conditions and drop back in trip fine too. |

Point and hurdles winner added a chase success at Kelso off 113 in April last year (2m4f, good); well beaten next time at Cartmel; returned from almost a year off when tailed off at Kilbeggan last time; entitled to improve over that. |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

Lightly raced; won a maiden at Cork (2m3f, good to yielding) but comfortably held since then and mark hasn't budged an inch despite finishing only ninth on his handicap debut at Listowel; ground this soft will be a first for him, as is the tongue-tie. |

Not disgraced without really threatening on return from 957-day break at Galway last month; unseated at the first on only start since so difficult to fully assess the level of ability he retains; no easy task giving weight to all rivals but he did look promising prior to long absence. |
