My Mate Mozzie
Frequently knocks at the door in big handicaps under all codes, including last summer when third at Royal Ascot and in the Galway Hurdle; off since September and has not run over fences since last year's Arkle but not underestimated.

Indiana Jones
Almost two years without a win; back over fences having been campaigned over hurdles so far this season; okay runs last twice in handicap hurdles here and at Thurles but plenty more needed.

Ha D'Or
Bumper, hurdles and chase winner; not a lot to get excited about from his run in the Dan Moore at Fairyhouse after 14 months off; others more likely.

Fascile Mode
Beat subsequent Grade 2 winner Touch Me Not in a Punchestown beginners chase in October; jumping difficulties have plagued his two runs since; classy performer and interesting in his first handicap if he jumps.

Lisnamult Lad
Good ground performer and gained a deserved success in a 2m4f novice handicap chase at Cheltenham in October; fell in front in the Troytown at Navan and pulled up at Cheltenham; back in trip here but the likely soft ground is at least as big a worry.

Midnight It Is
Returned from an 11 months absence to readily land a 2m handicap chase at Navan in December; up 12lb for that and put in a better performance when a staying third in the Grade 3 Dan Moore at Fairyhouse; up another 1lb but looks progressive and hard to see him out of the frame here.

Gaelic Arc
Four-time winner, most recently in a valuable handicap chase at Killarney in July; went up 11lb for that and his form has been in and out since; needs to come down the handicap.

Captains Nephew
Struggled a bit since going up 10lb for winning at Fairyhouse last Easter; better effort when a good fifth (rider dropped whip) in the Dan Moore at Fairyhouse (Midnight It Is third); each-way chance.

Grange Walk
Just the one win since 2021; alternating between hurdles and fences of late and no reason to suggest he'll feature.

Shanbally Kid
Useful hurdler, third in last season's Coral Cup; three low-key efforts in beginners' chase; in here off a good mark with cheekpieces on; very interesting although this trip is short enough.

Dont Go Yet
Useful handicap chaser at this trip; slowly building his form this season, most recently when a decent fifth to Midnight It Is at Navan in December; 13lb better off with that rival here and cannot be dismissed.

An Peann Dearg
Progressive and relatively unexposed chaser; got up close home to win a competitive contest over C&D at Christmas; up 6lb but there could well be more to come from him and definitely respected.

A Law Of Her Own
Quite highly tried over fences to date, finishing second in a Grade 3 at Roscommon; 1lb wrong here and has a little bit to find, but likely has more to offer over fences.

Mr Saxobeat
No win since the summer of 2023, but only faded very late behind An Peann Dearg here at Christmas; versatile as to trip but tough task here from 6lb out of the handicap.
