Vaureal
Long-priced winner of 2m4f Roscommon maiden hurdle last August and similar level over fences, acquitting himself well in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicaps, most recently clear second last month, having raced up with pace in lady riders' contest on soft; first attempt at this extended trip and tongue-tie fitted.

Pipers Boreen
3m hurdles winner and off the mark chasing at sixth attempt in 2m6f Tramore beginners last month, appreciating easier fences; back in handicap company off 3lb higher so needs to improve and this ground could be lively enough for her.

The Dabbler
Veteran won his third race when winning a handicap hurdle over 3m2f at Sligo in June; fair third over fences at Punchestown since but let down by jumping at Fairyhouse latest; trip/ground ideal but more needed.

Shantou Princess
Won 3m Punchestown handicap hurdle in December (good-to-yielding) but hasn't impressed in three attempts chasing since on much worse ground; back from a break and potential improver back on better ground in first handicap.

Pebble Bleu
Front-runner won 2m7f Punchestown handicap last season on good-to-yielding and decent run over same trip at Clonmel; unable to exploit lower hurdles mark at Bellewstown last time and more needed back chasing off this mark.

Riggs
Got off the mark chasing eight days ago in 3m Downpatrick handicap on good ground (first two clear of Jimli's Cave and Cullenwaine); 7lb rise so needs to find more but ground remains in his favour.

Hurdle/chase wins have been on easier ground; good bit to find with Vaureal on recent Fairyhouse run.

Lets Do This
Maiden hurdler but only touched off in 3m2f Sligo handicap in 2023 and good effort when last seen, finishing third of 20 in 2m7f Galway handicap hurdle in September; tongue-tie replaces usual hood for chase debut.

Redzy Rocco
Point-to-point winner is 0-6 hurdling, safely held in handicaps of late; of limited appeal here on chase debut.

Western Model
Won 3m Punchestown handicap hurdle last May and couple of decent runs here over shorter; four chase efforts have been underwhelming, never counting on handicap debut last time; hard to fancy but has age on his side and stays.

Jimli's Cave
Sole win came over hurdles in 2m6f Downpatrick handicap, having previously finished second here over 3m; some merit on recent chase debut at former venue when staying on third behind Riggs (3m, good) and place claims on favoured ground.

Cullenwaine
Likes a stamina test, winning over 3m1f at Thurles in December off a lowly 76; recent Downpatrick fourth leaves him with a bit to find with both Riggs and Jimli's Cave.

Free Parking
Lightly raced 8yo returned from over a year's absence when tailed off at Naas in November and after further breaks well beaten twice more over hurdles; 1lb wrong here on chase debut and hard to see him making an impact.

Kiln Time
Back to form for third hurdles win in 3m Naas handicap last month, getting up late on ground plenty quick (good to yielding); solid Cork effort a week ago off 5lb higher and interesting now reverting to fences on only second attempt (never featured in 2m4f handicap here in March); 2lb wrong.

Thehairyfella
Regressive in handicap chases for this yard and having run well on yard debut last summer for D J Barry, showed little afterwards; back with original trainer now and 2lb wrong here.
