J: Harry Cobden

T: J P Dempsey

Long time winless; showed a spark over hurdles in October; mark was 144 after he finished second to Solness in late 2023; no worthwhile chase form since and handicapper has now relented; still, big revival needed under Cobden.

J: Gavin Brouder

T: J P Dempsey

Better chaser, although last win came over 2m1f at Listowel festival in 2023 (off 132); encouraging hurdles return at Galway in October but hasn't built on that in three starts since; back chasing here off considerably higher mark so claims not obvious but yard going well.

J: Mark Walsh

T: J P Dempsey

Better chaser; generally well below best last season; encouraging run at Galway on return despite slipped saddle; led most of the way when weakening at Navan; remote fifth at Tramore; 1-1 at the track; well treated relative to chase mark.

J: Peter Smithers

T: J P Dempsey

Better chaser, enjoying fine spell of form in handicaps in second half of 2023, winning here and at Listowel; generally well below best last season however, fair effort on only hurdles run here; back from six months' absence and may need this.
