Black Heather
Ballinrobe bumper winner last summer (good to yielding); readily landed Naas maiden (2m, good to yielding) on hurdling debut last month; slowly away when beaten 0.5l on the Flat at Bellewstown two days later; first run for Gavin Cromwell; big player.

Allo Al Khawaneej
Half-brother to Delegator; weak form on the Flat for Owen Burrows but off the mark on second start for this yard when winning Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (15.5f, good to yielding) last month (Following Orders in sixth); this is tougher but he's respected.

Chortal
Flat maiden broke his duck in this code at the sixth attempt when landing the odds in Bellewstown maiden (2m1f, good) by 13l four weeks ago, prominent throughout; has a leading chance at the weights.

Party President
Didn't show much in point-to-points or maiden hurdles but was successful on handicap debut at Naas (2m, good to yielding) and followed up two weeks later off 7lb higher at Clonmel (2m1f, good to yielding); this demands more.

Following Orders
Placed in a point-to-point; excellent Leopardstown debut second (fourth won since); would have been second at Thurles but for ploughing through the last; below best when 11l behind Allo Al Khawaneej at Kilbeggan but is worth another chance.

Ma Belle Etoile
Decent form in bumpers, featuring Limerick win on heavy in November 2023; solid hurdling efforts but turned over at odds-on last two starts, including on debut for this yard on latest; might want it softer.

Ask The Bookie
Regressed over hurdles and didn't improve for the switch to chasing; 13-race maiden is unlikely to feature; cheekpieces.

King In Love
Progressive since fitted with a hood this spring; ready winner at Naas (2m, soft) and narrowly beaten on better ground over 2m3f at same venue; pulled up sharply after second hurdle at Fairyhouse which is a concern.
