9/2 |
Krabat
A victim of his own consistency as far as his handicap mark is concerned and ran another creditable race when fifth of 20 at Gowran 12 days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix again.

Fool Me Once
Tailed off in three maiden hurdles but showed a bit more last time at Punchestown; no chances taken with his mark but longer trip may help.

Mujeres Isla
Poor form on his first two outings; showed more when fifth of 11 at Cork; may appreciate a bit further and respected on handicap debut.

Walk Away Harry
Bumper winner a couple of seasons ago; has run with promise in a couple of his starts for his new yard, including when fourth of 13 at Fairyhouse last month; not ruled out with Kelly claiming 5lb.

- Moudan
- E Walsh / Ciaran Murphy

7/1 |
Moudan
Promise in handicaps this term before getting off the mark on testing ground at Limerick last month; shaped like the step back up in trip would be fine and nothing wrong with a 7lb rise.

- Next Stop Paris
- K M Donoghue / G P Cromwell

|
5/2 |
Next Stop Paris
Promise in a couple of his maiden hurdle starts and looked likely to have a big say in the finish before a late fall on handicap debut at Fairyhouse earlier this month; went off 6-4 for that contest and looks like a big player from the same mark; wears first-time hood.

- Mercury Mission
- T Power Roche / P J Rothwell

7/1 |
Mercury Mission
20-race maiden (0-15 over timber) but was a minor eyecatcher when staying on for third at Naas; could go well back up in trip.

- Malinas Glory
- J Aherne / A O'grady

Malinas Glory
Gained a first win under rules in a handicap chase at Thurles in November but not as good twice since; needs to bounce back returning to this sphere from 4lb lower hurdle mark.

Promising course debut here last season but lost his way since and pulled up latest.

Love Like This
Had been struggling over timber but step back in the right direction at this venue when returned to fences last month; should be in the mix.

Spatman De Cerisy
Hit the frame over 3m last May but hasn't built on that in three runs since; career best needed to defy this mark.

- P T Smithers / E F Gallagher

Blue In The West
Point winner; bounced back to form when second at Tramore on New Year's Day; ground and shorter trip fine; ought to go well.

- M P O'connor / J J Mangan

66/1 |
Kilcrea Castle
Minor promise on debut last season but shown nothing in three maiden hurdles this term; return to this sort of ground may help on handicap debut and respected with first-time cheekpieces on.

Dylan's Chance
Hasn't shown enough in six starts so far and seems on a tough mark; wears first-time hood.

A Nod To Getaway
Sole win came at Wexford last May; back to form when second to Moudan at Limerick last month; tough ask from 3lb higher.
