Dartan
Solid eighth of 17 in premier handicap hurdle at Aintree festival last month; less encouraging last time when well beaten in beginners' chase; last win came in 2023 but capable of getting involved here.

Plains Indian
Ran on well from an unpromising position to finish fourth last time out on the Flat; up 9lb from handicap hurdle win in November (3m, good); could still have more to offer in this sphere.

Yeats Star
Won a beginners' chase before falling at Cheltenham when beaten in October; finished third of 21 runners in valuable Leopardstown handicap hurdle in 2024 and lightly raced over hurdles since then; unseated at the third in Punchestown handicap when last seen; has the potential to play a part.

11yo runner whose last win came in a handicap chase last year (2m4f, yielding); beaten 29l when last seen; may want it softer but cannot be totally ruled out.

Won handicap hurdle by 9l in November; 10lb higher now; respectable efforts the last twice when finishing fifth and third; he is a player.

Five-time chase winner; disappointing last year but showed signs of life when 1/2l second in the Ulster National; has pulled-up and finished third over the banks at Punchestown since that effort; runs from 18lb lower hurdle mark here.

Saint Le Fort
Not disgraced when running against quality opposition last time at Punchestown; prior to that was a game winner of a Cork maiden hurdle (2m4f, good); the first-time tongue tie and trip could bring out the best of him on his handicap debut.

Has shown erratic form since winning handicap hurdle in November (3m, good); well beaten 15th of 25 when last seen in February but prior to that run he kept on strongly to finish second in a Pertemps qualifier at Leopardstown; could get in the mix if on song.

Walking On Glass
10yo has won eight races under all codes; finished a well-beaten seventh on return from a layoff last month; showed he still has the fire burning when winning on the Flat last August; runs off 2lb lower mark than last handicap hurdle win.

Artic Lane
Maiden hurdle win came on good ground over two miles back in November but has won a point-to-point; effectively brought down at the first on penultimate novice hurdle start when sent off at 7-1 (3m1f, good); dropped 2lb for lesser effort latest when finishing a well beaten seventh; trip and ground may aid his chance.

Redstone
Beat the now 143-rated King Of Kingsfield in a maiden hurdle in 2023; didn't progress for Gavin Cromwell; change of stable has not sparked a return to form in two runs thus far; tongue-tie now goes on.

Armed And Fabulous
Failed to get home when sent off at 5-1 on handicap debut at Ayr last month (3m1f, gd-sft); jumped to her left on that occasion; before that, returned from a mammoth layoff to win a mares' maiden hurdle at Newcastle in February (2m1f, gd-sft); stamina in her pedigree suggests she's worth another try at this trip; cheek-pieces are now employed.
