Bugs Moran
Ex Noel Meade-trained 8yo a 136-rated hurdler, winning valuable 3m Fairyhouse novice handicap at Easter 2022; returned from 533-day absence to run away (from King Alex) with Dromahane open point-to-point eight days ago and interesting contender from a yard which has won this three times in the last six years.

Early Doors
Career highlight when winning the Galway Plate in 2020; third to Lifetime Ambition in this race last year and kicked off this campaign with Oldcastle win before pulled up after never counting (lost shoe) in Tetratema at Gowran last month; bit to prove now.

Heroes Of Renown
Won 3m maiden hurdle here in 2021 for James Motherway; without success since, however; recent point-to-point form doesn't look good enough here.

King Alex
Three hurdle wins and a Limerick novice chase success for Barry Connell; point-to-point win came at Castlelands last month but has since been put in his place by Bugs Moran at Dromahane; hard to see him reversing that form.

Lifetime Ambition
Classy operator for Jessica Harrington and took this race last year for current connections; continues in good form, wins at Belharbour (beating West Cork Wildway) and Belclare before good third in 2m5f Aintree Foxhunters early this month; looks the one to beat again.

Lisleigh Lad
Won 3m1f hunter chase at Fairyhouse in November (3m, good) but let down by jumping at Thurles and out of depth at Cheltenham latest; plenty to find.

West Cork Wildway
Useful hurdler/chaser in his day; returned to point-to-points in December, notably chasing home ready winner Lifetime Ambition at Belharbour and second again at Kildorrery last time; place claims at best.

Carrig Wells
Won 3m maiden hunter-chase on this card last year but well held in light campaign since, latest after 323-day absence when pulled up behind Bugs Moran at Dromahane eight days ago.
