St Cuthbert's Cave
Bumper winner for Rose Dobbin at Kelso in 2023; fair third on hurdling/Irish debut at Fairyhouse before losing form; addition of a tongue-tie seemed to work when a 33-1 fourth at Naas; another solid display when third behind well-fancied stablemate at Navan; good prospects in this company.

Bop Wont Stop
Left his point form behind when 33-1 third of 11 in a maiden hurdle at Cork on last month's rules debut; tame effort in a Navan bumper raises a doubt.

In good hands but nothing in his first three outings to suggest any chance.

Tailed off in a bumper at Down Royal; remote eighth in a maiden hurdle at Naas; no appeal.

Hitak
Beat prolific points winner Winged Leader at Dromahane last season, the middle leg of a pointing hat-trick for Ellmarie Holden; pulled up in two hunter chases; 100-1 when a clear second to a Willie Mullins-trained favourite on hurdling debut over 2m1f at this venue; suffered costly interference four out at Naas last time; definite chance in this company.

Nor disgraced in outings at Limerick and this venue; will probably need a handicap mark.

Kashchei
Three bumper runs in Britain; similar sort of form in reaching the money at Southwell and Perth, both on good ground; big price when down the field in a stronger race at Cheltenham; first run for an in-form stable with good trial material.

Lightup Lightup
Second in a seven-runner bumper at Killarney last August; need to jumps more cleanly than when around 20l fourth in a maiden hurdle at Wexford in October; may improve.

Maximouse
One win (in May 2023) from nine starts in British points; makes belated rules debut for trainer/rider combination involved with a runaway bumper winner at Gowran recently; tongue-tie fitted.

Pulled up in three points for his previous trainer in 2023; completely tailed off on hurdling debut at Punchestown after a long absence; same at Naas last time; blinkered for the first time.

Onlymammycanloveme
Point winner who emerged with some credit when a distant third on rules debut at this venue in December; similar effort at Limerick in December; interesting now following third to I'll Sort That in a bumper at Fairyhouse, form shown in a good light by the winner at Naas on Sunday.

The Night Agent
Has run in three bumpers; fair fourth of ten on debut at this venue in November 2023; did not appear again until remote eighth at Limerick in December; vastly improved when 5l second at Naas a month ago, drawing a long way clear of the third.

Struggled on debut at Fairyhouse, needs to jump better, likely to need more experience.
