High Honour
Sligo win last August came out of the blue; no comparable form since; faces a stiff task under a big weight in the circumstances.

Blue Reed
Established a massive lead at Fairyhouse last month, ultimately pegged back by the in-form Duffys Hodey but held on for second; probably needs to be ridden with more restraint, but edging closer to a breakthrough win.

Coffeys Forge
Third in a Clonmel handicap on stable debut last month despite not jumping fluently; a long way clear of the remainder when 14l second at Navan 12 days ago; leading contender

Silent Flight
C&D winner off a 7lb lower mark 13 months ago; well below best at Tipperary on latest and others are preferred as a result.

Kiln Time
Twice successful over hurdles; wins came on heavy back-to-back in November 2023; badly out of form this season; tongue-tie now replace blinkers fitted when pulled up at Tramore last time.

Duce Bigalow
Went close in a point-to-point last March; unconvincing form in three maiden hurdle outings; may find his level in handicaps.

Run For Cover
Hard to discern much promise from three maidens but early days yet and not dismissed now that she steps up in trip for her first handicap.

Low-rated Flat maiden; fair first handicap run at Sligo, big price when pulled up here on latest.

Lariat
Two Flat wins; 0-20 hurdling; went close on second start for current yard over 2m5f at Fairyhouse in November; has failed to match that form since; place possibility.

Sonny Fella
Totally out of his depth in a maiden last time; pulled up on only handicap start; unlikely to feature.

Princess Fiadh
Maiden form does not amount to much; faller at fifth at Limerick in November when 200-1; makes no appeal.

Joe's Turn
Staying type who won a Kilbeggan handicap chase last August off 82; currently rated 91 over fences; feasible he could feature off 80 in this sphere if his fitness holds up on his first since October.

Masterstonemason
Veteran whose most recent win came almost three years ago; very weak form in 2024; seems safe to rule out.
