10st 3lb

J: Gavin Brouder

Has been in good form at a lower level in both codes this winter; in front when falling at the last at Thurles (2m2f); beaten 10l over that trip last time and cheekpieces added.

J: Niall Moore

T: Michael Winters

Stays much further but handled drop back to 2m when landing Naas handicap hurdle in December (soft to heavy); second past the post at Thurles early last month, disqualified after his rider weighed in light; leading and appeared set to win when falling at the last at the same venue three weeks ago; raised 4lb; could be hard to beat.

J: Mr L Burke-Ott

T: Michael Winters

Winning chaser; stays much farther but handled drop back to 2m when landing handicap hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) on penultimate start; trip-versatile and relatively unexposed over fences; 8lb higher than when winning over 2m5f here in October.. could be in the mix.

Versatile sort won a Thurles handicap chase in October and added a hurdle win in a Naas handicap last month; was below form over C&D since and has to rebound.

12st 0lb

J: Shane Fitzgerald

T: Michael Winters

Point winner in 2023, beating the useful Oscars Brother (recent winner); 0-6 over hurdles, best effort when second over 2m3f at Limerick last December; made a satisfactory start over fences when fourth off this mark at Listowel, beaten 7l; stable outsider on that occasion; getting on in years but not much mileage.
