A faller two from home when last seen at Limerick with a narrow lead over 2m4f, and if no ill effects, should go well again. Won a division 1 hurdle last August off a pound higher and very capable with yard in solid form.

Finished third on his second outing over 2m at Gowran and ran well on heavy ground over 2m3f before tiring and falling two from home. He improved to finish 4th of 19 after a break on his return in November, only beaten two and a half lengths, and I think will improve again. He is on an unchanged mark and I think can win this.

Has only had two outings for Ado McGuinness since moving from John McConnell and has a win here over a mile when with Adrian Murray. Was only beaten less than 2 lengths on debut for Ado over trip and was a good 3rd of 18 when dropped to a mile latest. Is back up in trip today from unchanged mark but Nicola Burns takes off valuable 7lb instead of Jack Kearney's 5, and I think that will make the difference and see a win here.

Has a win off a mark of 56 and won off a mark of 54 here in December over 6f. Was sent off favorite 5 days later and was only beaten half a length when upped to 7f under Conor Horgan claiming 7lb. Is up 3lb for that, but the new claimer takes that off with Adam Souza taking off 10lb. Has a good draw from stall 2, and I think has the ability to win this.

He won under a claimer here in November over the trip and ran well, only beaten 3/4 of a length here in mid-December under Oisin off his revised mark. He still has room for improvement, and off the same mark today, he should be in the mix.

Had been running off much higher mark in Ireland last year over shorter trips and has come into her own for George Boughey with a runner up here in December over 1m4f and 2 wins on the trot over 1m4f and 1m5f. Upped in trip again and still on a workable mark of 63. I think the one to beat and can complete the hat trick.

His last win came at Bath over the trip on turf off a mark of 60 back in August 2023. He ran well off his revised mark, finishing runner-up 3 times in a row and achieved a mark of 68 in March last year. He found things tough after that but was only beaten by half a length off 55 back in October. He had a recent return run here at the end of last month in which he was prominent before fading in the final furlong. I think he needed that outing, and he should progress now. He is off a very winnable 57, and in this poor field, he has every chance of another win.

Found himself in front after the first furlong on debut in November at Musselburgh and did all the hard work before being headed inside the final furlong and losing out by just over 2 lengths to a well-supported favorite. Brian Hughes takes over the duties, and he should improve enough to win this on that form.

Had been running over shorter late last season with no effect but seems to have found some form upped in trip with a third of 9 in December over 1m4f and a runner-up latest over 1m6f. He didn't run badly when finishing 6th of 11 over this trip at Wolves in between and worth another try at 2m today. His lowly mark of 57 gives him every chance with Ryan Kavanagh claiming another valuable 7lb and no surprise to see a win here with his experience.
