Won here over 2m2f just under a year ago in testing conditions off 95; recent runs have been over hurdles, well beaten; stamina concerns and others preferred.

Has shown improved form in point-to-points lately; rules return at Clonmel however leaves him with plenty to find.

Ik's Man
Point-to-point winner and placed hurdler; yet to find his level over fences, unseated halfway on latest; hard to be confident in but is 10lb lower than over hurdles.

Oneforgonzo
Dual hurdles winner in April of last year in testing conditions at 2m6f/3m; nowhere near that level in four attempts chasing and good bit to find on recent form with Spellacy's Cross.

Maciver
Thriving of late and seeking a four-timer, two 2m6f handicap chase wins sandwiching a hurdles success, all on heavy, clear with runner-up Spellacy's Cross at Clonmel on latest; up an aggregate of 19lb over fences and encounters quicker ground here.

Glentruan
Dual winner over hurdles in 2021; lightly raced chaser, didn't run too badly in handicap here in September, not so good afterwards at Gowran; back from a break and may need this.

Spellacy's Cross
Ordinary form over hurdles but made a bright start over fences last month in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap before pushing Maciver all the way over 2m7f at Clonmel (heavy) pair clear; 4lb better off with that rival here so big chance if handling quicker ground.

Walk In Time
90-rated 3m winning hurdler; 0-4 chasing but good effort in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap latest and better ground here in her favour; one to consider.

Sole win came over 3m here (soft) two years ago; recent form leaves him with a fair bit to find.

Maiden well held on chase debut in Tramore handicap in April when last seen; very hard to be confident in.

Wyoming Baby
Point-to-point winner has made little impression in bumpers and over hurdles; straight into handicap company for chase debut and hard to make a case for.

Point-to-point winner last April but not a whole lot to take from six attempts hurdling; tongue-tie tried for chase debut.

Two wins chasing including 2m7f Clonmel mares handicap last April; yet to hit form after three attempts this term, plenty to find with some of these on recent Clonmel run.

Two wins over hurdles on soft; not as good a chaser, fair bit to find with a couple of these on recent Clonmel run (yard debut).

Without Exception
Low-grade sort but off the mark hurdling in recent 2m4f Punchestown handicap, seeing it out strongly on heavy; races off 4lb lower chase mark here on just third attempt chasing so obvious scope for improvement though quicker ground a slight concern.

Important Message
Two hurdling wins were back in 2020 (good) but definite promise of late over fences, close to much of pace when fourth to Maciver at Clonmel last time; cheekpieces belatedly tried here and better ground could suit.

Colline Fleurie
Second reserve; point-to-point winner but poor form over hurdles; unlikely one on chase debut.
