Unplaced in two outings this prep, both over the jumps. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell then was 22 lengths away in sixth more recently in a steeplechase (5934m) at Cheltenham. Can do a lot better.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 19 lengths into 13th in a hurdle (3319m) at Thurles. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Has failed to hit the frame this campaign, the latest when tenth in a steeplechase (5733m) at Downpatrick at long odds. Hasn't won for over a year. Unlikely to threaten today.

Failed to finish at the final run last campaign over 4526m at Thurles. Forgive that last effort.

Hasn't raced since finishing 11 lengths away in sixth in a steeplechase (4425m) at Listowel seven months ago. Must be included.

Resumes after a break of six months. Finished off last campaign with a eighth in a G3 (4828m) at Limerick, beaten 57 lengths. Solid top-three chance.

Not raced for four months. Closed off last preparation when seventh in a steeplechase (3419m) at Leopardstown, beaten 19 lengths. Could pose a serious challenge.

Is back from a spell of a year. Scored two back at Punchestown before winding up the campaign with a 99th in a hurdle (4425m) at Fairyhouse. Has the right credentials.

Resumes after a break of two months. Finished off last campaign with a 14th in the G3 Leopardstown Handicap Chase (4325m), beaten 41 lengths. Has ability and worth including.

Was well held second up in a steeplechase (3419m) at Kelso after a solid return. Better than last run but needs to bounce back.

Did fairly well when he finished second in a hurdle (4023m) at Gowran Park two runs back. Improved sharply to score by 2.5 lengths in a steeplechase (3922m) at Limerick at the latest outing. All set to continue the strong recent form.

Has mixed his form so far this campaign. Didn't impress last start when sixth in a hurdle (4526m) at Thurles. Dropping 612m in trip. Others look better placed.

Not setting the world on fire of late. Two runs ago clocked-in 14th in a LR (4325m) at Leopardstown. Things didn't improve when he failed to complete the course more recently in a hurdle (3218m) at this track. Looking elsewhere.

Was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3218m) at Fairyhouse. Made amends last time to finish third in a steeplechase (3621m) at Limerick, beaten 8 lengths. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Wasn't popular in betting but returned from a 100-day spell on March 22 with a sound second in a steeplechase (3922m) at Limerick, beaten 2.5 lengths. Fitter and sure to go well again.

Missed the frame two back in a steeplechase (3922m) at Gowran Park. Atoned for that run last time to get the prize in a hurdle (3218m) at this track by 6 lengths. Can add to the recent impressive result.

Not raced for six months. Closed off last preparation when sixth in a steeplechase (3822m) at Limerick, beaten 16 lengths. This looks tough and others preferred.
