Made a strong return from a 193-day layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3218m) at Wexford, finishing third when partnered by today's rider Donagh Meyler. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Went for a spell after just two runs last campaign, winding up with a fourth in a LR (4727m) at Punchestown seven months ago. Well placed to return a winner.

Back from a 204-day break. Finished off last campaign when fifth in a hurdle (4425m) at this track, beaten 27 lengths. Could pose a serious challenge.

Has not raced since he failed to complete the course in a G3 (5833m) at this track seven months ago. Recent run worth forgiving.

Two runs this prep have been moderate. Resumed with an unplaced effort (4526m) at Galway then finished seventh last start in a G3 (4828m) at Listowel. Can improve in this more suitable race.

Returning from a 10 months break. Still a maiden. Has placed when fresh but happy to watch this time.

Six-year-old fresh from a spell. Yet to miss the frame in three fresh up runs. Should be primed for another solid outing. Among the chances.

Wasn't fancied but returned from a 193-day spell on October 26 with a sound third in a steeplechase (4526m) at Galway, beaten 8 lengths. Can feature again after that bright return.

Looking elsewhere. One for another day

Safely held before a break and resumed in a similar vein of form, finishing a well-held seventh in a steeplechase (3319m) at this track. Fitter but looks well outclassed past few runs.
