Sarah Beara
Runner-up after a break at Roscommon in September (3m, soft) and then seventh of 23 at Navan (2m6f); failed to fire back there 20 days ago but in a valuable handicap; this is nothing like so demanding and she'll be keeping on with stamina guaranteed.

Sundial
Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien and fourth in the Boodles at Cheltenham two seasons ago when tried in cheekpieces (absent since); second after a break at Punchestown (2m7f, good) and could bounce back from his Navan defeat with the cheekpieces returning.

Billy Lee Swagger
Won 22-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown last New Year's Eve and some notable efforts since, including on his penultimate start when runner-up back there (from off the pace over 2m3f); latest defeat was over 3m1f; not ruled out.

Won at the Christmas meeting here 12 months ago but has been out of form ever since.

King Ferdinand
His last two wins have been over fences and was found wanting back over hurdles at Cork earlier this month; others appeal more.

My Friend The Wind
Made it 0-10 over fences last time but he's a dual hurdle winner who went close on his last start in this discipline (2m7f); 2m4f might be on the tight side but has each-way claims.

Optional Mix
Won this two years ago off the same mark and back to some sort of form when fourth in a Thurles handicap hurdle four weeks ago; now rated much higher over fences and has possibilities for sure.

Strutter
Had six races for Nicky Henderson, winning the latest at Uttoxeter in May (2m, good to soft) when getting up in the nick of time; has to be of strong interest on debut for Willie Mullins and he's still in the same ownership; should be fine over this far.

Cooltubrid Eva
Runner-up in a maiden on this card 12 months ago; not shown much since but goes handicapping off a low mark.

Doyen For A Drink
Stable debut when winning a 3m1f handicap at Cartmel (heavy) and latest defeat was her chase debut; may prefer further and deeper ground, but not dismissed.

Not So Simple
Has won three times over hurdles but he's been off since September 2022 and turns 11 next week; ideally wants further as well.

Rose Boum
Bumper/maiden form not devoid of promise and a tongue-tie is added for handicap debut; could be interesting, especially if there's money for this 4yo filly.
