11st 7lb |
Flat winner; dual victories over hurdles include a C&D win; just 0.5l behind subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, good), winner now rated 14lb higher; not a bad effort on the Flat at Galway last time (1m4f, yielding to soft); interesting. |

Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on recent Flat runs but ran a cracker over hurdles at Bellewstown last time; chance if converting that back to this sphere. |

Grade 2 juvenile hurdle winner last year but has disappointed over hurdles and on the Flat since; pulled-up over 2m4f here last time but can do better back to 2m. |

9st 4lb |
Won the first of seven Flat races for Richard Hannon, last seen in this sphere when among the backmarkers in the 1m Britannia here (33-1; sole start on good to firm) 12 months ago; very hit and miss in his four hurdle races for the champion jumps trainer, albeit in top races when he failed to fire; connections are enough to earn him respect but Ethical Diamond is presumably their principal hope. |

Dual-purpose 5yo gained his third win on the Flat in 1m5f Navan handicap in April, okay run in better-class Curragh contest following month; hurdles win came in 2m1f maiden here last summer, soft ground was probably against him in subsequent handicaps; back on better ground here could go well if taking to chasing. |

Won on handicap debut here (2m, heavy) in November; won again off his revised mark of 120 here in January (2m5f, sft-hvy); drop back to 2m didn't suit at Fairyhouse latest; better expected over this longer trip; chance. |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles, runner-up four times, including the last three times; latest when 9.5l behind Hens Tooth at Navan over 2m6f when trip may have stretched him; runner-up in handicap off 118 prior to that so he sets a decent standard back down in trip. |

12st 0lb |
Formerly trained in Ireland, he made an instant impact when landing a maiden hurdle here (2m, good to firm) last July; ran three times on the Flat in the autumn without success; first run since when sixth of seven at Worcester (2m, good; 25-1) last month and looks to need to come down the weights. |
