Form & Verdict
Bounced back from layoff to gain second hurdles win at Tipperary in May (2m, good); was running a good race at Tramore on chase debut before being hampered by a faller at the second last 63 days ago; should come on plenty from that run and the step back to 2m should suit; big player.

Second over C&D in October but well held since; may have needed recent Limerick reappearance but modest enough strike-rate and Prince Of Air looks the yard's main hope; tongue-tie left off.

Form & Verdict
In good form this season, including easy 7l Tipperary win (Jack Holiday second) as well as two good seconds at Fairyhouse and Punchestown; not as good at Clonmel last time (Berliet Express second) and will need to bounce back, but no surprise if doing so.

1-21 under Rules; third over hurdles at this venue in May and arrives on the back of two seconds at Clonmel (I'll Be That Lady fifth) and Ballinrobe; likely to give another good account but winning record makes it hard to be confident.

Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline.

Form & Verdict
Mixing it between chasing and hurdling of late; hold up runner won in good style over fences at this venue (2m4f, yielding) in June and backed that up with a good second at Tramore; not disgraced at Kilbeggan since; only his third chase outing but enjoying a good season so probably not one to rule out.

Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022 but she went close over hurdles here (2m6f, good; Tupelo Mississippi fourth) on recent stable debut; that was a big run after 288 days off and she's respected back over fences; tongue-tie removed.

Ex-Irish; her last three wins were in 2022; none too consistent last year but the best of those efforts were not far off her peak, including at Navan in September when last seen; has joined a yard (runs four) that's well known for its successes at this track.

Form & Verdict
Dual winner over fences, last of which came at Tramore in April 2021; four good chase runs so far this term but was never close enough to threaten in any; is sure to run his race and booking of 7lb claimer should aid his chances; will be thereabouts.
