Asterion Forlonge
One of two for top yard; won this easily last year on testing ground but only faced one rival; ran respectably in the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle in January and got to within 5l of Hewick returned to chasing at Thurles on latest; top rated at 157 and should be hard to beat.

Mister Policeman
Second runner for yard; two-time hurdles winner is three from six over fences; back to back wins last year in a Punchestown novice (2m, heavy) Grade 3 novice at Thurles (2m2f heavy); pulled up both starts since over 2m4f and 22.5f so has stamina to prove and lacks a run; watch.

Fil Dor
Four-time winner over hurdles; 2-15 in chases including a listed win in a two-runner race at Thurles (22.5f, good) in November; didn't run badly when tried over 24.5f at Fairyhouse in February but pulled up in the Grand National latest; gets 6lb from the top two here but needs to bounce back.

Hascoeur Clermont
Has won twice over hurdles and is 2-18 over fences; rated 121 so faces a tough task on these terms; trip and ground fine but is best watched on first run for new yard.
