Back from a 614-day break. Finished off last campaign when fifth in a steeplechase (4224m) at Carlisle, beaten 20 lengths. Makes strong appeal.

Seven-year-old gelding who recorded a strong win in a novice hurdle (3218m) at Limerick to get off the mark prior to going for a spell. Resumes after 10 months break. Well placed here and could prove tough to beat again.

Returns from a spell of 14 months. Last appeared in a hurdle (3621m) at Listowel and did well but found a couple better. Sure to feature on his best form.

Unplaced two starts ago in a hurdle (3218m) at Listowel then improved last time when he wound up in fifth in a hurdle (3922m) at Limerick, beaten 28 lengths. Hard to fault on his best jumps form.

Finished a modest fifth in a hurdle (4828m) at Limerick last start. That came after he did not finish the race two runs back. Cannot be written off.

Needs to show more here after a disappointing eighth in a hurdle (4828m) at Naas last start. Drops back in distance and can improve sharply here.

Was Ran in a steeplechase (4224m) at Sligo last time but was pulled up. Worth giving another chance and will prove hard to beat.

Fitter for two runs from a spell. Safely held fresh but ran an improved race latest when fourth in a hurdle (4828m) at Limerick. Has the ability and looks due. Definite claims.

Seven-year-old gelding who is yet to break through this time in, and is on a quick turnaround after finishing 12th in a steeplechase at Clonmel just 5 days ago. Will need to improve sharply to feature.

First up from a spell today for a new yard. Overall strike-rate is moderate but he has ability. Looks up against it - prefer others.

Not raced for three months. Closed off last preparation when sixth in a hurdle (3218m) at Kilbeggan, beaten 10 lengths. Makes strong appeal.

Battling run last start to finish eighth hurdle. Needs to improve sharply to be competitive here.

Returned from a spell last start with a modest ninth in a steeplechase (4123m) at Tramore. Others rate better.

Was at long odds last time in a hurdle (4023m) at Gowran Park but failed to finish. Not expected to threaten.

Has started four times so far and yet to threaten, the latest finishing 11th in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Naas before a break. Makes appeal on best and looks an each way chance here.

Filled a minor prize two runs ago in a steeplechase (4727m) at Downpatrick. Repeated the dose at the latest outing when second in a steeplechase (4224m) at Clonmel, beaten 2 lengths. Looks very hard to beat.

Lightly raced seven-year-old gelding yet to get off the mark. Doesn't look one of the main chances.

Returned from a spell in a hurdle (4023m) at Wexford but failed to finish. Unlikely to feature.
