Butchers Bill
Struggled on first three starts; showed improvement when fourth at Fairyhouse in first-time cheekpieces; brother to the talented Romeo Coolio is potentially interesting in this grade

Lightly-raced sort; emphatic winner of a 2m maiden at Tramore in October 2023 on only his second run over hurdles; absent since; may need this.

True Destiny
Second in races at Limerick and Sligo last October; good chance if reproducing that form; seems best suited by the Sligo track which is unlike this one in character.

Tom Kelly
Lost form for his previous trainer; no sign of a recovery in two starts for this stable; addition of blinkers will need to make a major difference.
