Returns from a 101-day spell. Finished off last prep with a win in a novice hurdle (4526m) at Thurles, scoring by a head. Reliable jumper with three wins to his name from 11 appearances. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat.

Some runs recently have had some merit. Seemed to appreciate stepping up in journey last time when finished second in a hurdle (3922m) at Limerick. Would need to improve further against this line-up.

Not raced for two months. Closed off last preparation with a minor placing in a G3 (4023m) at Naas, beaten 9 lengths. Could pose a serious challenge.

Resumed from a spell with a disappointing seventh in the G2 Donohue Marquees Juvenile Hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse. Hard to beat on his best form. Can atone.

Did fairly well when he finished second in a hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse two runs back. Improved sharply to score a dominant win by 23 lengths in a hurdle (4123m) at Wexford more recently. Hard to fault on his recent form.

Had a streak of wins broken last time out when eighth in a G2 (4023m) at Fairyhouse. Suited here and sure to go close.

Returned from a spell with an impressive win in a bumper (3721m) at Naas then finished second more recently in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will be hard to beat.

Filled a minor prize two runs back in a novice hurdle (3721m) at Naas. Repeated the dose last time when third in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown, beaten 1.75 lengths. A big run is on the cards.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3822m) at Naas, finishing 11th when partnered by today's jockey Liam McKenna. Looks tested in this line-up.

Finished fourth two back in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown then again missed out in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Naas last start. Right in the mix if anywhere near his best.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest fifth in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Naas. That run was the first for the Henry De Bromhead stable. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Has not appeared since he did not complete the course in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse on January 16. Nicely-placed to make amends.

Finished second but no match for the winner last time out in a maiden hurdle (4325m) at Tramore. Worth including.

Hit the minor money last time but beaten 23 lengths when third hurdle. Encouraging run latest but happy to overlook without further improvement.

Is a strong first-up performer returning from a 87-day layoff. Kicked off with a win in a hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal when last in work. Looks tested in this line-up.

Seven-year-old mare who has been struggling for form since resuming, beaten 11.5L in a hurdle (3822m) at Naas most recently. Looks to be making up the numbers again.
