11st 9lb |
Dual purpose; course Flat winner hasn't won a handicap hurdle since 2022 and made an inauspicious start for this yard when failing to beat a rival on the Flat at Limerick; will strip fitter now but others preferred. |

9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose veteran has won eight races including four on turf on the Flat; not a bad run on final start for Ian O'Connor in a Cork handicap hurdle in November; off since and entitled to need this on first run for Charles Coakley. |

Second to a useful type in Fairyhouse maiden 14 months ago; ran poorly on handicap debut the following month; given a break after being pulled up at Tramore last June; satisfactory run in first-time cheekpieces in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel last month; could go close |

11st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has won three chases since and is rated 128 in that sphere; was second in a Bellewstown claimer in August when last over hurdles; a spin in the charity race at Punchestown can have him straight; valuable 5lb claimer a help. |

11st 10lb |
Reversed previous C&D form with King Roly under an aggressive front-running ride from Sean Bowen here 17 days ago (good); that wasn't without the occasional scare over his fences but he's clearly capable of going well again off just 4lb higher. |

Has never made the frame in a race of any type; however, on the plus side, she was not disgraced when fifth in an 18-runner handicap hurdle at Cork on her final start last season; tailed off on reappearance in a handicap chase at Clonmel last month. |

Dual-purpose; 1-9 on turf on the Flat; won on the AW (1m4f) off 4lb lower in January and has generally held form well since; hasn't won on turf since 2023, however, and others make more appeal. |
