Finished third over 3m5f at Fairyhouse in December but she's fine at this trip and was runner-up to Lilith in this 12 months ago; ran okay in the Kim Muir (3m2f) at Cheltenham and makes each-way appeal. |

Dual point-to-point winner with fair form in maiden hurdles; will need to raise his game in order to make his presence felt on handicap debut. |

Dual point-to-point winner with fair form in maiden hurdles, notably Downpatrick fifth over this trip in April; remote third in similar event on last month's return; more one for handicaps but could sneak a placing here in a maiden lacking strength in depth. |

Off a similar mark when winning at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) earlier this year; hit and miss since then (has tried chasing) but possibilities if on a going day. |

Got off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel; hasn't built on that twice since in good ground handicaps but a return to slower ground may help; wears first-time tongue-tie; off 168 days. |

Displayed stamina and a liking for testing ground when recording handicap chase wins at Thurles and Limerick in February/March 2022; lacks a recent outing but potentially well-handicapped relative to his chase rating. |

Stamina and a liking of testing ground was seen to very good effect with handicap chase successes at Thurles and Limerick last spring; may have needed the run in a handicap hurdle here in October; shortlisted. |

Out of his depth in a novice chase last time but tailed off in a handicap hurdle before then and this 12yo is now a 24-race maiden; on the plus side, he did finish third in this 12 months ago. |

Verdict
Though he doesn’t look particularly well-handicapped, ROWDY ROMEO is race-fit and has been running respectably in maidens, so could be the answer. Balkito and Western Zara are well-handicapped over hurdles relative to fences but both lack recent runs. Robyndeglory is capable but has to rebound from a poor effort. [Tyrone Molloy]
