11st 12lb |
Versatile ground-wise; won this last year and has since added a fourth chase win in a Grade 3 at Naas; ran second to Energumene in a Grade 2 in April before his no-show in a Grade 1 last time; has clear claims back at this level, even having to concede weight all round. |

11st 12lb |
One of four for Willie Mullins; gained a fourth chase win in a Naas Grade 3 in February; creditable effort when a 6l runner up behind Energumene in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 on latest; 3lb worse off with that rival here and looks set to play a supporting role again. |

11st 7lb |
Four-time chase winner, including two Grade 3s; pulled up in a Grade 3 here on penultimate start but bounced back straight away with a Grade 3 win at Naas (2m, heavy); came up short in this last year when a 7.25l third and needs to find more to feature at the finish. |

11st 10lb |
Scored over hurdles and fences for Eric McNamara in Ireland last summer; well beaten on both runs for his current yard recently, though he faced a very stiff task in the Plate at Cheltenham last time; back hurdling now with something to prove. |

Maiden gave his best run over fences last time at Punchestown when a 6l third of five (3m1f, good to yielding); beaten a long way in two starts prior to that; hard to see him getting involved. |
