Two hurdle wins, including over 2m6f at this venue in 2021; long losing sequence since Cartmel win the same year; twice second here last year, including in this race off the same mark as now; yet to find his best form this year. |

Handicap chase winner at Sligo (2m5f soft) off 102 last September; has won on good so ground not a concern and has run well over this trip in the past; however, he remains 3lb above his last winning mark and he might just need more help from the handicapper. |

Four-time winner, most recently 2m5f handicap chase at Sligo last September; best of three runs since June return when fair fourth at Kilbeggan, needs to jump better than at Wexford last time; each-way claims. |

Now 0-21 but has placed seven times and was a good second here over hurdles (2m1f, yielding to soft) last month; solid effort in competitive handicap at Galway four days ago but never landed a blow on sole chase start at Thurles in November; hard to recommend. |

A fair 2m7f hurdles winner for Kim Bailey but he ended last season well out of sorts; changed hands for £3,500 and made a promising start for his new yard after six months off when third of 12 in 2m7f handicap chase at Killarney 18 days ago; big player back in this sphere off the same mark. |

Justified favouritism on yard debut at Kilbeggan three weeks ago when pulling clear with Kadys Dirha; 10lb higher now but unexposed having just his third start over the larger obstacles and ought to appreciate conditions; leading claims. |

0-7 over hurdles; was running a decent race when slipping up on her handicap hurdle debut on yielding ground over 2m6f here off 88; not a bad run when fifth in another handicap at Ballinrobe last time; could outrun her likely odds for a yard that is starting to hit form in first-time tongue-tie. |
