Cayd Boy
Two wins over hurdles; 0-15 in chases, placed six times; no sign of his best in four runs since return from a break; seemed to be well fancied at Wexford last time but was pulled up.

Garde La Peche
Point-to-point winner; ran well in a couple of maiden hurdles before successful chasing debut at Clonmel last June; picked up an injury at Tramore in August; dropped in class and trip following Leopardstown run at Christmas; worth considering.

Out of form since 2m Wexford win last summer, stablemate Garde La Peche appeals more.

Three In A Row
Won a handicap hurdle at Naas last April; hard to assess on form in beginners' chases at Navan and Gowran but slotted into handicaps effectively when third behind a rival in the same colours at Limerick; has 6l to find with Big Island but may be able to turn the tables

Presenting Max
Promise in a couple of his maiden hurdle starts, notably when 20l third behind the top-class Romeo Coolio at Down Royal; needs to raise his game after two starts over fences; still early days, hard to know what may prove his optimum trip.

Big Island
Flat and hurdles winner; struggled on his first two runs over fences; much improved when second at Limerick; not guaranteed to uphold form with third-placed Three In A Row who has better form than that to his name.

Elusive Guy
Only win was in 2022; fair form in handicap hurdles before fifth at Tramore on chase debut; tough task against some of the more experienced chasers.

Just Three
Is 0-18 over jumps, placed only once over fences; hard to make a strong case for him.

Good second in a 2m handicap hurdle at Clonmel three starts back; well below that level last twice; firrst run over fences now.

Island Mccoo
Much-improved performance when a long-priced winner at Tramore 11 days ago; had previously finished behind Big Island and Three In A Row at Limerick and might struggle to reverse the form despite his progression.

Natural Breeze
Two-time hurdles winner; 0-7 over fences but has run well in defeat; twice second from his last five starts; lack of consistency is a concern.

Aliunde
Went up 8lb for a C&D win last July; absent since well-beaten third at Downpatrick the following month; ability to handle this track is a positive.

Rock On Pedro
Flat winner is a maiden over jumps; 0-10 in chases; not a bad run at Wexford three weeks ago on return from a break, place possibility.
