Backonthegoagain
Dual point-to-point winner on decent ground but has struggled in handicap hurdles so far on soft/heavy; could have more to offer back on better ground here.

Lucky Lioness
Point winner on testing ground; handicapped on good fifth in 2m4f Punchestown maiden (soft) but opening handicap effort at Tramore was tame; cheekpieces now fitted.

Driveonwill
Hints of ability in maidens and opening 2m4f handicap efforts off this mark have merit; perhaps unlucky not to finish a little closer when fourth in 17-runner Punchestown contest and lost shoe and suffered overeach injury when fourth in a competitive Navan contest in early March; better ground may suit; one to consider if staying longer trip.

Kelly's Birr
Won 2m6f handicap on her debut for Gordon Elliott at Downpatrick in 2023; off for a year when making no impression in Tramore beginners' chase last May and again no show on last month's return over 2m3f at Naas; hard to assess but step up in trip should suit.

No Fussing
Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles two years ago, her only success from 23 starts; just mild promise in 2m6f handicap there on latest; wants it softer.

Stellar Symphony
Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; had looked in handicapper's grasp and belatedly tried over fences at Wexford last month when well held; down 3lb since last hurdles run and returns to better ground so don't rule out.

Leading Endeavour
Won a three-runner point-to-point by 20l for Shane Roche in November; no impact in maiden hurdles but much-improved when upped in trip for handicap debut at Ballinrobe last month, staying on well in third (2m6f, good); could have more to offer upped further in trip here.

Yorkshire Escape
Tricky customer has been pointing without success this year (refused once when leading and ran out another day); headstrong and did too much in front on hurdles return at Tramore last month in first-time visor (now ditched); others preferred.

Neska Blue
Placed in a point-to-point; mildly encouraging effort on second maiden hurdle run (2m, good to yielding); back up in trip for handicap debut with tongue-tie back on.

Kiln Time
Back to form to record third hurdles win in 3m Naas contest last month, getting up late on ground plenty quick (good to yielding); 5lb higher but still on a fair mark although would ideally want more give in the ground.

Free Parking
Lightly raced 8yo returned from over a year's absence when tailed off at Naas in November and after further break never counted in midfield at Limerick in March; best bits of form have been on this sort of ground so don't rule out entirely.

Point-to-point winner a year ago (soft); tame enough handicap hurdle debut at Limerick last month; lots to find.

Heidi's Frontiere
Improvement in Clonmel handicaps, strong-finishing third over 2m and disputing second when brought down two out in 2m3f contest (good); never counted however at Kilbeggan latest but still one to keep in mind on first attempt at this trip.

Wyoming Baby
Point winner and placed in a bumper; showed little over hurdles but better form over fences of late, placed at Limerick and clear second over 2m6f at Tramore, having had every chance; one to consider back hurdling.

Placed at up to 2m3f in handicaps in recent seasons; back from winter break when modest third in Stradbally maiden point-to-point last month and now tries a new trip back hurdling.

Roxboro River
First reserve; improvement when upped in trip on latest in 3m1f Warwick handicap last month, chasing home a ready winner after mistake two out (good); one to consider if getting a run.

Evans Secret
Second reserve; maiden twice went close last summer on decent ground; recent Ballinrobe comeback run encouraging and could improve enough to have a say here on favoured ground.

Rose Boum
Third reserve; promise in bumpers and improved in first-time blinkers in 2m6f Ballinrobe handicap last month, forcing much of pace when beaten under 5l (good).
