Four-time Flat winner was placed in a maiden hurdle last season; big improvement needed from his first two handicap attempts at Navan and Fairyhouse. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |

Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

Failed to place in six Flat starts; 0-8 over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second here over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap before 13l second in a maiden at Navan 12 days ago. |

Won Ballinrobe claimer at around this trip on good ground for John O'Donoghue; runner-up when upped in trip to an extended 1m4f at Thurles on second start for this stable; finished the season with second over 2m at Dundalk; an unknown quantity on this ground; handicap mark seems fair. |

AW winner in 2022; in moderate form over jumps before finishing last back on the Flat here 20 days ago; 7f would have been inadequate but still has serious questions to answer. |

No impact in maidens but strung together three decent handicap efforts including a 0.5l second at Down Royal (10.5f, good) off 62 on penultimate; below par at Navan off revised mark latest; more needed back in a maiden. |

Only win from 22 starts came on heavy ground at Gowran last September; failed to retrieve her best form in her first four outings this term, including a Leopardstown race won by Diamond Exchange; placed twice at Leopardstown since then, both races run on soft; capable 7lb claimer |

Only win from 21 starts came on heavy ground at Gowran (9.5f) last September from 5lb lower; failed to retrieve her best form in first four outings this term, but beaten only 1.25l when third at this course (7f, soft) last week and the step up in trip is a plus. |

Maiden ran well when a 3.75l fourth of 16 at Roscommon in May for this rider but hasn't backed that up; beaten 15l when down the field at Fairyhouse (1m4f, good) on latest. |

Dual-purpose maiden ran her best race at Roscommon last month when fourth of 16 (1m4f, yielding to soft); unseated on her second hurdles start at Ballinrobe next time and well beaten at Down Royal back on the level over 2m last time; this trip suits better. |

Has returned from 260-day absence in the form of her life for new yard, making all for today's rider to win over this trip at both Naas and Down Royal (good) in blinkers; up an aggregate of 16lb but remains 7lb out of handicap in this much higher grade. |

Some AW form for previous yard and immediate return for current yard on returning from 260-day absence at Naas last month when making all in apprentice handicap over this trip (good) in first-time blinkers; 9lb rise but no surprise if she made a bold follow-up bid. |
