Arkhill
Mount Nelson 6yo finished second on point-to-point debut at Punchestown in February before landing long odds in 4-finisher Durrow maiden following month (yielding); yard won this race last year so has to be respected.

Ask Mike
Came home alone when scoring at Borris House in December 2023; just fair form in three hunter-chases, will need to jump better than at Thurles last time when cheekpieces tried.

One win from nine starts in points; forced much of pace before dropping out on rules debut when stiff task in Tetratema at Gowran last month.

Chiefs Kingdom
Half-brother to winners including Ballymoy (smart 2m-3m1f hurdler/chaser); dam bumper/2m4f hurdle winner; fairly useful form when placed in maiden hurdles last season and okay run in Wexford beginners chase; back from 283-day absence when second in Ballycahane maiden point-to-point last month for Aidan Fitzgerald; one to consider.

Cold Old Fire
Useful form in point-to-points this term, beating a subsequent winner at Dungarvan and came home alone at Knockanohill; never really recovered from bad blunder on rules debut in Tramore hunters chase a week ago.

Drive On Jimmey
Won at Ballindenisk in December (soft) and best effort latest when second (Midnight Moonshine third) at Nenagh last month on good-to-yielding; not one to rule out.

Dromleigh
Went well under rules last season, narrowly losing out over 2m5f at Clonmel and third at Fairyhouse (3m); better again on track return last month when fourth in 2m4f Down Royal winners' contest on good ground; should be thereabouts back in maiden company.

Placed in Ballinrobe staying handicap hurdles last summer on softish ground; 0-4 in point-to-points, seemingly plenty to find on recent efforts.

I Masked Du Potier
Progressive pointer the winner of three of last four starts for this rider, most recently last month at Nenagh and when ready winner of 3-finisher Ballycrystal open; may not want too much rain.

Long Road
0-7 in point-to-points but much better form on rules debut a week ago when strong-finishing second in 2m6f hunters chase (yielding); this likely a stronger race however.

Made U Look
Lightly raced 6yo came good at fourth attempt between the flags when taking Kildorrery maiden last month under a positive ride (second and third have won since); form looks solid and no surprise if local challenger played a major role here.

Manlikemike
Dual point-to-point winner including at Knockmullen House in November but disappointing since, latest when faller two out when closing at Loughbrickland last month; respected yard, considered.

Midnight Moonshine
Upset a hot favourite at at Comea in February (yielding) and just behind Drive On Jimmey when third at Nenagh, below best at Lscarrol last time though; tongue-tie on for rules debut.

Sole win from 11 attempts between the flags came in Kildorrery adjacent maiden last month (soft); unseated on hunter chase debut at Thurles and carried out at Liscarroll latest; others preferred.

Tennessee Titan
Knockanard point-to-point winner in 2022 for Paul Nolan and placed hurdler last season for current yard; pulled up on last month's comeback run at Liscarroll, having never featured; hard to be confident in.

West Of Carrig
Quite smart form when making all for open wins in February at Dungarvan and Tallow; unseated at the last, having trailed throughout, in Cheltenham Foxhunters last month; sights lowered considerably here and likely big player.

Reserve; lightly raced 6yo chased home a clear winner in modest Castlelands maiden last month; stiff task here.
