Dream Shaper
0-17 under rules and 0-7 over hurdles; best effort when 5l fifth of 20 at Galway in September off 102; 2lb lower now but has regressed in four subsequent starts; others appeal more.

Brianna Lily
Mare has won a bumper and 3m handicap hurdle, both at Clonmel; recent efforts leave her with a fair bit to find and she's likely to be outpaced over this sort of trip.

Ciao Adios
Flat winner posted two promising efforts in maiden hurdles last summer; heavy ground and absence possibly to blame for latest effort at Clonmel; should strip fitter now for red-hot yard.

Our Uncle Jack
Emphatic winner of 2m maiden hurdle at Tramore in October 2023; returning from 501-day absence, built up commanding lead at Punchestown (2m4f, heavy) last month but finished tailed off; drop in trip should help.

Comanche Moon
Well beaten in four maiden hurdle starts; weak in the betting when respectable fifth of 19 at Naas (2m, soft) on handicap debut 11 days ago; shrewd yard so watch the betting.

Phoenix Cowboy
Nowhere near as good hurdling as on the Flat; tried over various trips, the best a Fairyhouse third over 2m4f in November; moderate fourth at Clonmel latest and might have to settle for a minor role again.

Promising third in Ballinrobe bumper last April; third on hurdles debut at Clonmel; unseated at Fairyhouse next time; solid sixth behind some good types at Naas latest; better expected from her now on handicap bow.

Placed in a point-to-point; has shown only moderate ability in three maiden hurdle starts; needs to find much more but market will guide on her handicap debut.

Won handicap at Thurles (16.5f, soft) off 88 just over a year ago; narrowly denied off 95 at Tipperary last May (2m, good to yielding); looked in need of the run after a break latest; not discounted.

Three-time Flat winner; never in the first three over hurdles, though has shown some ability in handicaps at Downpatrick; needs to improve from stable debut at Fairyhouse in November.

Who's In Midfield
Soundly beaten in three completions in maidens but looked a different proposition on his handicap debut when third of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, good) last May; absence to overcome but JJ Slevin a good booking.

Old Kenmare
Fair debut effort when seventh behind McLaurey at Limerick in December; failed to improve on that in two subsequent outings; looked like one who would be targeting handicaps so monitor the betting.

Olord
Some ability when trained by Eoin McCarthy; showed nothing in three starts for Darren Collins since returning from lengthy absence; first run for Eric McNamara now and can only be watched.

Tremaine
French Flat winner on the AW; none too fluent in three attempts hurdling and headgear combination didn't help matters in Leopardstown handicap 18 days ago; hard to fancy.

Go Gill Go
Losing run since maiden hurdle win in 2021; hit the frame in three of her seven starts last season; repeat of Clonmel third on penultimate gives her a squeak; each-way claims with Rachael Blackmore aboard for the first time.

Twice successful over fences at Thurles; record of 0-29 over hurdles but failed only by a neck in amateur handicap at Naas in December; risky profile but has the ability to get involved.

Never closer than tenth in seven starts over hurdles prior to moderate fifth in claiming hurdle at Clonmel last month; looks well up against it.

Cramers Valley
Went close in December 2023 at Naas (2m, soft) off 85 and some good runs in defeat last summer; needs to improve on recent form and best form in testing conditions.

Tailed off at huge odds in three starts in maiden hurdle company; ran very free when again well beaten at Clonmel on handicap debut; pedigree suggests she will want further than this.

First reserve; never figured in first three starts under rules but much better on first start for Shark Hanlon when beaten around 9l into sixth of 14 at Thurles two weeks ago; player on handicap debut if he gets a run.

Third reserve; hat-trick winner in 2023 was travelling kindly on back of lengthy absence when falling four out at Gowran 12 days ago; big player if he gets a run.
