Beckistine
Led narrowly when falling at the last at Limerick on hurdles debut; remote fifth behind leading Champion Bumper contender Gameofinches at Punchestown a fortnight ago; return to hurdling will suit and should take all the beating if he handles decent ground.

Captain Porridge
No threat in three maidens but something to take from run in hot contest at Naas on decent ground; pulled up on handicap debut at Fairyhouse without usual hood; back into calmer waters now but needs to improve.

Cyrus Field
Fifth behind Casheldale Lad on debut; remote fourth here (20.5f) on next start; impossible task behind some classy types at Fairyhouse in January; cheekpieces reached for now.

Mack The Chemist
Shaped well on Cork debut in March 2024 but hasn't managed to improve on that since; came on from St Stephen's Day return with sixth of 18 at Clonmel and won't be far off with a repeat.

O' Bon Pardon
Good sixth in Goffs Defender bumper at Punchestown last season; beaten only 1l when fourth at Naas in December; cut out most of the running but faded late when disappointing at Fairyhouse when sent off favourite latest; entitled to go well here.

Roxboro River
Placed in Turtulla point-to-point in November; remote fifth in 2m4f Warwick maiden hurdle on rules debut and moderate efforts since; needs to jump more tidily; Shark Hanlon's first runner since November so market watch advised.

The Mail Train
Modest form in a trio of point-to-points and a similar story in three maiden hurdles; needs to find a lot more to make an impact here; blinkers tried.

Washington Parks
Sent off triple-figure odds for his first three maiden hurdles but caught the eye when seventh of 22 behind Ethical Diamond at Punchestown (2m, heavy) last month; that's strong form in the context of this race; leading chance if he handles quicker ground.

Are You Busy
Stepped up nicely from hurdles debut to finish fourth in Fairyhouse mares' maiden (2m4f, soft) under a positive ride; ran below that level at Clonmel but she's expected to bounce back.

Well held in a pair of bumpers and produced no better in two maiden hurdle outings; may need more time.

Heather View
Minor promise in trio of bumpers without threatening, including the Goffs Defender at Punchestown last season; ran no race over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January and might be one for handicaps down the line.

Poor efforts when sent off at large prices for all six starts under rules to date, including on her handicap debut last time; best watched.

Set My Love Free
Minor promise in bumpers in 2022 but produced a career-best when fifth of 16 and beaten 4l on her handicap debut at Clonmel (2m, heavy) last week; step up in trip should suit and Danny Mullins takes the ride; contender.

Stretchemout
Point-to-point winner shaped okay on rules debut behind Sixandahalf but has failed to improve in two subsequent outings; improvement needed but Jack Kennedy takes over; first-time headgear combination tried.

The Sugarhill Lady
Has shown a degree of promise on all three maiden hurdle attempts; best effort on second outing when beaten 7l into fourth at Limerick (16.5f, good); another to enter the equation.
