Samui
Runner-up in the stayers' handicap at the Ebor meeting before two Listed thirds and didn't take to the Cesarewitch last time; dual hurdle winner but looked like the handicapper had his measure when last seen in this sphere.

Jazzy Matty
2023 Fred Winter winner; only narrowly denied in a novice chase at Cheltenham last time out and looks well treated back in this sphere.

Indiana Jones
Grade 3 winner; was really struggling for form last year before showing signs of a revival when sixth (beaten 8l) at Leopardstown last month; very well treated if building on that from 1lb lower.

Dark Note
Just 1-19 in this sphere; ran well here in December but didn't build on that in a Tramore handicap hurdle on New Year's Day; may have found the ground too testing and a return to this venue may help also.

My Gaffer
Maiden hurdle winner in May 2023 but unplaced in seven starts since; last month's return wasn't devoid of encouragement and should come on for that; should be fine on the ground and his mark is becoming workable.

Won a maiden hurdle at Tramore but struggled since and jumped poorly before pulling up latest.

Stuntman Steve
Followed up a point success with a maiden hurdle win on November's return and has had tough tasks in novice hurdles twice since; interesting back in handicap company back down in trip.

Flidais
Best form has come at Ballinrobe and career best when runner-up there when last seen but may need this after 160 days off.

San Aer
Yet to win over timber but ran a cracker when a 40-1 fourth of 19 at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day; may have a say if he builds on that.
