Flidais
Dual hurdle winner but this looks like a very tough task on chase debut and her best form has come on quicker ground.

Look To The West
Point winner who made a winning start under rules on hurdle bow; was third in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last season but didn't build on that in a Grade 1 when last seen; off 333 days and would need to match the level of her best hurdle form on chase debut here but not ruled out.

Paggane
Dual hurdle winner who has made a bright start to life over fences, finishing runner-up in a Grade 2 novice at Limerick in December before a 3l defeat in a mares' beginners' at Fairyhouse last month behind two stablemates; Paul Townend keeps the faith over stablemate Karia Des Blaises who was half a length in front of her; should be firmly in the mix.

True Testimony
Hit the crossbar in a couple of maiden hurdles last term; a long way behind two of these on chase debut earlier this month; may come on for that but hard to see her reversing the form.

Karia Des Blaises
Has improved plenty over fences this campaign, shaping with promise in a Grade 2 at Cork on chase debut and has hit the crossbar twice since, including when finishing just in front of stablemate Paggane earlier this month; should improve when she settles better and may be capable of confirming the form with Paggane on the same terms.
