Back from a 79-day break. Finished off last campaign when eighth in a hurdle (4526m) at Limerick, beaten 21 lengths. Expected to play a major role.

Has been very ordinary in all four career runs to date. Looking elsewhere for the winner at this stage.

Debuted with a eighth in a maiden hurdle (4123m) at Killarney two starts back. Only a moderate follow-up effort last start when 51 lengths away in 12th in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Kilbeggan. This looks a stern test.

Two runs this prep have been moderate. Kicked off with an unplaced effort in a bumper (3621m) at Galway then weighed-in seventh last time in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Killarney. Major player on his best figures.

Easily accounted for last start in a maiden hurdle (3922m) at Kilbeggan finishing fifth and beaten 24 lengths. Rates well and can feature in the finish again.

Not raced for two months. Closed off last preparation when seventh in a maiden hurdle (3520m) at Sligo, beaten 35 lengths. Expected to play a major role.

Unplaced in two outings this prep, both over the jumps. Finished fifth when resuming then was 17 lengths away in sixth more recently in a maiden hurdle (3621m) at Ballinrobe. Can improve in this more suitable race.

Not raced for four months. Closed off last preparation when sixth in a maiden hurdle (3319m) at Clonmel, beaten 25 lengths. Bold showing expected while fresh.

Was at long odds last time in a hurdle (3621m) at Downpatrick but failed to finish. Not likely to threaten in this field.

Doesn't look likely in this after being well held at long odds in last two. Rates poorly and others preferred.

Went for a spell after running ninth in a bumper (3319m) at Galway. Not overly keen on her chances in this.

Unplaced two starts ago when resuming in a bumper (3118m) at Ballinrobe then produced a better result last start when she finished seventh in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Galway, beaten 46 lengths. Hard to fault on her best jumps form.

Yet to threaten in three runs to date. Unimpressive when 21st over 3218m at Naas last start. May be suited by the longer distance but wait until she shows something.

Returns from a spell. Last went to the races three months ago when she did not complete the course in a maiden hurdle (4123m) at Bellewstown. Cannot be ruled out after that latest mishap.

Unplaced in two starts this campaign, both over the jumps. Finished tenth when first-up then was 78 lengths away in ninth more recently in a bumper (3319m) at Tramore. Hard to fault on her best jumps form.

Has been beaten by some pretty hefty margins lately, most recently in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Down Royal when 123 lengths from the winner. Can't recommend on current form.

Sparingly-raced five-year-old who was unplaced on debut then weighed-in 14th in a bumper (3621m) at Cork last time out. This looks a stern test.

Was unplaced the start before last in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Kilbeggan then could only manage 11th most recently in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Galway. Hard to have on recent efforts.

Resuming. Struggled last few runs, finishing off the preparation with a pulled up in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Downpatrick. Looking to others on form before a break.
