Aspire Tower
Dual Grade 2 hurdles winner in his pomp back in 2020/21; missed two full seasons before returning in October 2023 and hasn't looked the same horse, though he has won twice this season, including decent C&D beginners' chase last month (yielding); okay handicap debut run in competitive Punchestown contest since, this looks much easier despite the weight concession.

Foxy Girl
Hurdles winner on testing ground and easily the pick of three chase efforts last season when clear second in 2m4f Naas beginners (soft); looked a bit onepaced back at 2m at Cork latest; capable back up for Aspire Tower here although really wants it softer.
