Aeros Luck
One of two for yard; chasing debutant; 1-13 over timber and rated 126 in that sphere; ran okay in a handicap hurdle here in December but not as good at the DRF; bred for chasing and in good hands; not discounted but Donoghue prefers his stablemate.

Antrim Coast
Second runner for yard and preferred by Keith Donoghue; 2-6 over hurdles but hasn't landed a blow in two chase starts; this trip looks on the sharp side for him; others make more appeal.

Black Bamboo
Winning hurdler achieved a rating of 131 in that sphere; no show in both starts over the bigger obstacles here and at Gowran over further trips; needs the drop back in distance to spark a revival.

Bob The Builder
Modest form in maiden hurdles and rated 102 in that sphere; has been running in point-to-points, winning two of his last four starts; a lot more will be needed to make an impact here on first start for new yard.

Golden Joy
1-6 over hurdles and rated 123; best form in that sphere has come on testing ground; beaten 14l on chase debut on good ground at Thurles early last month; should do better.

Lisnagar Fortune
Rock solid form in last two starts in maiden hurdles; back from a year off with two disappointing efforts in beginners' chases at Fairyhouse and Gowran; ought to be capable of better but hard to be confident after those last two runs.

17/2 |
Maidenstreetprince
1-8 over hurdles and rated 127 over fences; placed on his chase debut at Ballinrobe in May of last year but hasn't replicated that in four runs since, though may have needed his latest run at Thurles after a 185 day break; his experience is a plus but more will be needed to win.

Majestic Force
Point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner; creditable fifth in the Mares' Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham last March; solid run on chase debut at Cork in December, a late mistake proving costly; poor on latest at Naas but could bounce back dropped in trip; leading chance.
