6/1 |
The Big Cloud
Won over this trip at Limerick (heavy) at the end of last season before a respectable fourth of 16 at Naas later that month and likeable reappearance effort back at Limerick over Christmas; may come on for that and warrants respect; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

The Reel Martello
Only minor promise in bumpers/maiden hurdles and looks up against it from this mark on handicap debut.

9/2 |
Falcon Park
Belatedly off the mark over timber at Punchestown last month and followed up off 7lb higher at Clonmel last week; has a 10lb rise to cope with but was good value for the winning margin and respected in his hat-trick bid.

Sheer Raz
Hit the crossbar in a point but has finished tailed off in a trio of maiden hurdle starts since and this trip is probably on the sharp side on handicap debut.

Aspurofthemoment
Minor promise under rules and got his head in front in a point in November before 25,000 euros sale; trip likely to be too short back under rules here.

- S D Torrens / Miss D O'shea

12/1 |
Tingarran Express
Just 1-28 but has hit the crossbar in five of her seven starts since her Clonmel success last April; place claims if fit on return but may be vulnerable to better treated rivals as far as win claims are concerned.

Aclass
Bumper promise and left his maiden hurdle form behind when an 8l third on handicap debut on New Year's Day; dropped 1lb and should be in the mix once more.

- Beeverstown Place
- Niall Moore / M A Cahill

Beeverstown Place
Promise at the back end of last season when stepped back up in trip and probably needed his reappearance run at Limerick last month; should come on for that and some rain would be in his favour (best form on heavy).

Prince Quattro
Off the mark after a four month-break at Limerick in November and creditable follow up bid at Thurles; didn't jump as well at Navan last time and may want the ground to dry out given that his best form has come on good/yielding.

Marine Ranger
Promising fifth in a Limerick bumper on his debut but shown very little in bumpers or maiden hurdles since; however, handicapper may have given him a chance with this opening mark.

Thats All
21-race maiden; one of her better efforts when third of 18 at Punchestown last month but no guarantee she will build on that in a competitive heat here; versatile with regards to ground at least.

Flier
0-11 on the Flat and hasn't shown enough in four hurdle outings so far on varying ground; her better hurdle and Flat form has come on a sound surface; handicap debut.

Maiden on the Flat in France and shown very little over timber for new yard; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Eikonix
Has refused to race on three occasions; encouraging return from a break on penultimate start but not as good at Clonmel last week and comes with risks attached.

Petit Dejeuner
Bounced back to form when third at Thurles in November; brought down when still just involved at Naas last month but didn't build on that at Punchestown subsequently; may want rain to be seen at her best.

Raby Mere
Some promise in first two bumper runs but has really struggled in four starts since, the last three outings at huge prices in maiden hurdles; cheekpieces on for handicap debut and best efforts were on good ground.

Cramers Valley
Went close in December 2023 on soft at Naas (2m) and some good runs in defeat last summer but well held over longer trips in two runs this month, despite coming in for some market support at Punchestown last week; interesting to see whether first-time blinkers make a difference.

Ar Nos Na Gaoithe
10-race maiden but hinting that her turn may be near in her most recent starts and only run out of the first three late in the day at Punchestown last month; dropped another 1lb and has an each-way chance.
