Maiden hurdle winner towards the back end of last season; not in the same form recently and this might be tough on chase debut.

Castle Field Boy
Dual hurdle winner and useful level of form in that sphere but tailed off in three beginners' so far and others preferred.

El Champo
Three-time hurdle winner and has looked just as good over fences without managing to get his head in front; hit the frame again last time in a 2m4f handicap chase and more likely than most to run his race.

He's Home Again
Off the mark over timber in March 2024; tailed off in two chase starts and made errors at Punchestown last month; best watched for now.

Ik's Man
Tailed off on belated return and came down early last time; showed a useful level of form over timber in 2022-23 but probably best watched for now.

John The Diva
Promising start to life over fences when beaten 4l in a beginners' at Tramore, form that worked out okay; however, made a bad early error before unseating at Cork last month; back to form over timber since but needs a career best now tackling beginners' company again.

Plenty to like about his chase debut at Cork in December but was brought down at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day and wasn't at his best when a distant sixth in a novice chase at Fairyhouse last month.

My Gaffer
Won a bumper and a maiden hurdle back a few seasons ago but hasn't been at his best in two runs this term and tough ask on chase debut.

On Lovers Walk
Dual point winner who went close over timber and came on from his chase debut at Cork when beaten a head in a beginners' at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day; was beaten when unseating at Punchestown since but he is the type to bounce back.

Arrives on the back of two all-the-way hurdle wins including a career best at Tramore last time; needs to improve again on chase debut.

Hit the frame in all four maiden hurdle starts and plenty to like about his chase debut when fourth of 14 in a beginners' at Gowran in behind Quai De Bourbon and two other nice prospects; should come on for that and likely big player.

Point winner and off the mark under rules over timber last season; came on from her return when beaten half a length on chase debut just ahead of El Champo and should improve again.
