Clonshire River
Point-to-point winner in 2021; runner-up three times in maiden hurdles; soundly beaten in three chase starts this season but will at least find this easier than the 0-123 handicap he contested latest.

Freddie Robdal
Dual chase winner was beaten out of sight back over hurdles at Leopardstown last month but ran well off this mark when fourth at Thurles in November and handles a bit of cut in the ground; player.

Hillsdale
Won 15.5f handicap hurdle on soft at Naas in March; bolted up by 11l eased down on handicap chase debut at the same venue (2m, yielding) last month; 11lb higher now and needs to prove he can produce a similar level of performance going right-handed but highly respected.

Been a good servant to her connections with seven wins; finished second in this race last year but 19lb higher now; has good form around here but this trip is on the sharp side for her.

Kobalt St Georges
Tailed off in a trio of handicap hurdles over 2m-2m4f, including with headgear tried; needs to improve dramatically for a switch to chasing.

Lily Of Dromard
Close to three years since she won a 2m handicap hurdle here; has had just two starts for in-form yard and she ran well on her sole chase start at Tramore last summer; watch the market.
