Dual winner over both hurdles and fences albeit some time ago; returned from 277-day absence for current yard in October, well held on the Flat and twice over hurdles; belated AW debut and only second career Flat start. |

Has modest 2-36 strike-rate over fences but is largely consistent and has been as good as ever this season; not beaten far when seventh in competitive Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) just after Christmas and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be on the premises. |

Admirable mare will be having her 108th start under rules; 1-21 over fences but has run well at this venue on multiple occasions; lost form since shock win in a 2m listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March 2024; hard to fancy on recent showings but can't fully dismiss. |

Six chase wins including this race in 2023; has been regressive this year and was poor at Galway last time; coming back here may help, though. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner; fair fourth on handicap chase debut at Listowel in September; not at his best when an unplaced favourite over 2m7f at Killarney in October; took full advantage of return to beginners' company when winning easily at Tramore; should remain competitive despite 6lb rise. |

11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 8yo who is lightly raced; his Irish hurdles win was at 2m3f on heavy; chase win at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December on stable debut and ran respectably here (2m1f, soft) next time, but his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing. |

Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in October and bounce back from a lesser effort when runner-up over fences at Thurles last month; now 9lb lower in this sphere and should go well. |
