Returns after a spell of three months. Opened the last campaign with a solid second in a hurdle (3218m) at Fairyhouse, beaten 0.8 lengths. Overall first-up record reads well, with three placings from four runs. Can return in winning form.

Ran in a steeplechase (4727m) at Clonmel last time out but failed to finish. Worth another chance and shouldn’t be far away.

Might be working up to a win judging by improvement at her last couple of starts, the latest when third in a hurdle (4023m) at Gowran Park. Terrific to break through.

Returned from a 160-day spell last start with a modest 11th on the flat at Navan over 2816m, beaten 38 lengths. Prepared to watch this time.

Clocked-in third two runs back (3218m) at Punchestown. Repeated the dose more recently when second in a novice hurdle (4123m) at Down Royal, beaten 0.8 lengths. Prospects look very bright.

Unwanted in betting last few and has run accordingly. Disappointing again last time and looking elsewhere.

Did well to finish second two back in a hurdle (3822m) at Naas but could only manage fourth in a hurdle (3822m) at Naas last time, arriving 3.5 lengths behind the winner. All set to improve.

Was pulled up in a steeplechase over 4123m at Down Royal at the last run before a break. Faces a tough test.

Back from a break of three months. Wound up last campaign with a tenth in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse, beaten 38 lengths. Should be thereabouts.

Back from a brief spell. Showed nice improvement at the last appearance before the spell when fourth in a hurdle (3419m) at Clonmel, beaten 37 lengths. Looks tested in this line-up.

Did well to finish second two back in a novice hurdle (3922m) at Punchestown but could only manage seventh in a novice hurdle (4526m) at Punchestown last time, arriving 20 lengths behind the winner. All set to improve.

Has been pretty ordinary of late and was well held in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Naas last time. Prefer in easier.

Not raced for three months. Closed off last preparation when 11th in a hurdle (5230m) at Fairyhouse, beaten 110 lengths. Among the chances fresh.

Eased out of the race two starts back. Finished fifth last time, beaten 16 lengths, in a hurdle (4425m) at Navan. Recent form worth overlooking.

Seven-year-old mare who is back from a break. Finished off last campaign when seventh in a hurdle (3319m) at Tramore. Tougher class here fresh and not expected to threaten this line-up.

Cut last campaign short after three below average performances. Not overly keen on his chances in this.

Returns from a break. Last raced eight months ago when he did not finish the race in a hurdle (4123m) at Tramore. Confidence may have taken a hit.
