Seasett
Two wins on the Flat; 2-14 over hurdles; best form last year was on a sound surface and over a bit further than this; has struggled lately including over fences at Warwick last month.

- Royal Reprobate
- K M Donoghue / G P Cromwell

|
33/1 |
Royal Reprobate
Second of three maiden runs was respectable; makes handicap debut for an in-form trainer who also runs My Good Pal with a leading claimer aboard; market may guide as to their relative prospects.
|

|
- Gimme A Buzz
- S D Torrens / E Bolger

|
22/1 |
Gimme A Buzz
Finished behind Royal Reprobate at Cork last month; could slot into handicaps effectively, though Mark Walsh rides the more experienced No Big Deal.

- Moudan
- E Walsh / Ciaran Murphy

8/1 |
Moudan
Placed on the second of three maiden starts last season; showed potential for success at this level when fourth in a 19-runner contest at Tipperary, though could not be guaranteed to uphold form with sixth-placed My Good Pal.
|

- No Big Deal
- M P Walsh / C O'brien

|
7/2 |
No Big Deal
Made the frame for the first time at Limerick in November but was beaten 21l in fourth; needs to find more but worth noting that Mark Walsh rides in preference to the unexposed Gimme A Buzz.

Thegreenthirteen
Not beaten far in seventh on handicap debut at this venue early last month; improvement on the cards now since that was his first run of the season.

- Let Him B
- P Byrnes / C Byrnes

|
20/1 |
Let Him B
66-1 when tailed off on handicap debut over 2m4f at Cork; down the field over 2m at Limerick last time; not one of the more obvious contenders unless the market suggests otherwise.

Robindevidastar
Returned from seven-month absence to win at Punchestown in November; raised 7lb and may remain competitive in this modest grade.

- Le Fanu
- D J Gilligan / Brendan Walsh

|

Le Fanu
Listowel festival fourth was quite encouraging; failed to build on that at Limerick in October; others are more appealing.

- N T Prendergast / P Hennessy

|
11/1 |
Falcon Park
Chase winner for Emmet Mullins over 2m at Wexford in July; availed of a lower hurdles mark when scoring readily at Punchestown; still 4lb below his chase rating, so could still be well-treated.

- Wyoming Baby
- P T Enright / R Tyner

Wyoming Baby
Point winner; third in a bumper last spring; nothing in her hurdles form to inspire confidence, though trainer can strike with improving types in this grade; new headgear combination
|

- Eikonix
- P K Donovan / Bernard Crowley

Eikonix
Has given trouble at the start in the past; some merit in his latest effort at Limerick when beaten around 8l in fourth.
|
|
|
|
- My Good Pal
- C Stone-Walsh / G P Cromwell
|

|
11/4 |
My Good Pal
Ordinary form for a small County Limerick stable; open to improvement following a respectable sixth at Tipperary in November, after 13 months off and making debut for a leading yard; rider is good value for his claim and the stable is in form.

- Barbaha Queen
- C M Quirke / J P Ryan

|
12/1 |
Barbaha Queen
Slightly better chaser (course winner over 2m4f on good) than hurdler; probably better suited by good ground; has a modest strike-rate over hurdles (1-15); absent since last summer.

- Fernhill Fling

Fernhill Fling
Third at Wexford in October represents his best form by far and came out of the blue after two failures to complete; hard to be confident after a poor run at Navan last time.
|

- Internet Biddy
- S F O'keeffe / S Aherne

50/1 |
Internet Biddy
Showed mild promise for Fergal O'Brien in 2023; has failed to complete two of her four starts for this yard; big price when down the field in Punchestown race won by Falcon Park; up against it.
