Siberian Star
British raider, one of two runners on the card for the Bowens; 2-15 in chases; has been busy since the turn of the year but has held his form well; takes a big drop in trip after a 0.5l second over 26.5f at Sedgefield; this may not be enough of a stamina test.

Ernie From Nurney
Ran well to finish a 1.75l third of 14 over C&D in August off 94; another decent effort off 1lb higher latest at Thurles over 2m (good); same mark here and should go well, though his two career wins came on testing ground; place chance.

Malton Groove
Eighteen race maiden under rules is 0-9 in chases; best chase efforts have come over this C&D on decent ground; now 3lb lower than when beaten 3.25l here last July; third of 11 here on latest, beaten 10.5l on good to yielding (2.5l behind Da Big Fella); should be thereabouts in first-time cheekpieces.

Get It Right
Yet to win after 13 starts but has shown ability over hurdles; chase career has started with two non-completions at Thurles, unseating over 2m and pulling up over 2m5f, both on good ground; hard to fancy on those efforts.

Stellar Symphony
Two-time winning hurdler makes a belated chase debut at the age of ten; plenty of experience in point-to-points without winning one (0-15, second four times); best form is over further than this; probably best watched.

On The Tide
Maiden is 0-7 in chases; produced one of his better efforts in a beginners at Clonmel (16.5f, good) last week but was still beaten 12l into fifth; this trip should suit better but needs more.

Spanish Maid
Raced exclusively in maidens over hurdles without success; huge odds and well beaten in three beginners chases; can only be watched on handicap chase debut.

Gustavo Goodway
0-10 over hurdles and 0-3 in chases; saddle slipped here last time when under pressure but he was making headway; ran well off this mark in a handicap chase at Gowran (2m2f, good) in October; place claims with a repeat of that.

Silent Flight
1-10 over hurdles, the win coming on heavy ground at Punchestown in January 2024; beaten 14l off 93 on sole chase start and is just 2lb lower now; needs softer ground (non-runner at Naas on Thursday, reserve).

Gali Flight
Long standing maiden; 0-13 in chases; not much encouragement to take from first two runs back after a break, including over C&D latest; chase mark slipping but hard to make a case for on recent form.

Glentruan
Two time winner over hurdles is 0-5 in chases; best effort in this sphere a 6l fifth of 16 at Listowel (19.5f, soft to heavy) in September and he's 4lb lower now; poor twice since, though may have needed latest after a break and the blinkers worn at Listowel return; not discounted.

Rock On Pedro
Flat winner is a maiden over jumps; 0-9 in chases; decent efforts last two starts at Clonmel and Thurles; has run well both previous starts at this venue and is 4lb lower than when a 6.5l sixth of 14 over C&D last August; no forlorn hope.

Arthor
0-19 under Rules; won a Ballindenisk point-to-point on heavy ground in January; well beaten on return to the racetrack in a Thurles maiden hunters chase early last month; probably wants softer ground than this; others preferred.

Point-to-point winner at Dungarvan in February; decent effort on handicap chase debut over C&D but was still beaten 11.5l; needs more off the same mark.

Any Day Now
1-13 over hurdles but remains a maiden over fences after three starts; last five runs have come over timber; pulled up at this venue on penultimate chase start over 25.5f; best form on easy ground; others appeal more.

Da Big Fella
Winning hurdler is 0-17 in chases but has run well in defeat, including the last twice; finished an 8l second of 11 over C&D off 73 last month and had a few of these rivals behind; place shout again off 1lb higher.

First reserve; chase debutant is 1-6 over hurdles and that win came at Navan in 2021; can only be watched on his return from a mammoth layoff.
