My Gaffer
Won a bumper in 2022 and a maiden hurdle at this venue in May 2023; well below his best in two handicap hurdle runs at Thurles after a break this term; returned to form in style when making a winning chase debut at Clonmel; goes into handicaps 10lb higher than hurdles mark.

Coming Up Easy
Wide-margin of 2m5f maiden hurdle at this venue on heavy last April; tailed off on handicap debut at Punchestown festival; out of his depth in strong novice races; could find his level now.

Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa
Consistent over hurdles without winning, placed all six starts; second in a chase at Down Royal last spring; doubts raised by a poor point-to-point run when favourite at Oldtown last month.

St Faz
1m5f handicap winner in 2023, won a Killarney maiden hurdle last May; placed in a handicap hurdle at this venue in December, previously a fair third on chasing debut at Clonmel; went back over fences at Fairyhouse last time and again finished third; form has been advertised by the winner Springt De La Mare; good prospects now.

Splashing Out
Needs to step up on the form she showed when favourite for her first handicap chase at Punchestown; 2m6f may have stretched her stamina, previously shaped well over 2m at Tramore.

Midweek Voices
Progressive in winning at Punchestown and Gowran; up 15lb in total and can remain competitive, though he is possibly more effective at around 2m4f; rider who is 2-2 on him has had his claim reduced from 5lb to 3lb since the Gowran race.

Carlas Big Jim
Won two handicap hurdles last season in testing conditions; unplaced in three handicap chase runs, Clonmel fifth was satisfactory; soundly beaten at Leopardstown ten days ago; may do better as he gains in experience.
