11st 5lb

J: Alan O’Sullivan

T: Ian Patrick Donoghue

Won his third hurdle race when scoring at Bellewstown over this trip last month; was pulled-up at Kilbeggan since so has questions to answer now.

J: Mr J Dunne

T: Ian Patrick Donoghue

Three-time winner this season, the latest coming at Bellewstown last time off 6lb lower (3m, yielding); in and out form, so not certain to back up his win.

11st 5lb

J: Mr Alan O’Sullivan

T: Ian Patrick Donoghue

Second runner for yard; won a 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap in January off 3lb lower; best run since when beaten 9l in a Downpatrick handicap last time; unproven over this trip but a chance if staying.

10st 13lb

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Ian Patrick Donoghue

Blows hot and cold; got first hurdling victory at Limerick in October (2m4f, soft); decent third sandwiched between two poor efforts following his win; winner of big-field Fairyhouse handicap on New Year's Day (2m4f, yielding) off 4lb lower under Kennedy; not at his best in last four outings; maybe the return of Kennedy can spark him.

11st 13lb

J: Conor Stone-Walsh

T: Ian Patrick Donoghue

First reserve; won off 6lb lower at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day but pulled up twice since and beaten 19.5l at Naas on latest; new headgear combination needs to spark.
