In The Trenches
24-race maiden under rules and a beaten favourite six times; best effort over fences when clear second to an improver in Navan handicap (2m1f, soft) in March off 107; needed a stiffer test when third of four in Tramore novice latest; should go well.

Big Island
Flat/hurdles winner; struggled on his first two runs over fences; much-improved when runner-up at Limerick on handicap chase debut (19.5f, good) off 99; drop in trip is fine and can be ridden aggressively; contender.

Itsalonglongroad
Versatile veteran; won Ballinrobe handicap chase (2m1f, good to yielding) last September off 101 but hasn't threatened to add to that tally over hurdles or fences since; went off favourite when fifth over hurdles at Tramore on latest; won't hang about on the front end.

Elusive Prince
Won sole point-to-point outing; some creditable efforts under rules without winning; expensive to follow over hurdles but now a potential improver sent chasing; could be on a good mark on chase debut.

Mount Ferns
Won Listowel handicap hurdle (2m, soft) last September; beaten favourite next two starts, headed when a faller at Limerick latterly; respectable handicap 9l sixth of 13 on chase debut at Clonmel in February; should improve.

Warm In Gorey
Gained third hurdles win at Thurles in November off 96 (2m4f, good); struggled off revised mark at Fairyhouse later that month; off since but has gone well fresh before; 0-10 over fences but ground will suit and will have strong pace to aim at.

Midnight Eagle
Got off the mark over hurdles at the eighth attempt when landing Limerick handicap (2m, good) four weeks ago; 7lb higher mark to contend with now on chase bow; profile suggests she is not one to place maximum faith in.
