Maiden is 0-4 in chases; well beaten first three starts in this sphere but improved on handicap chase debut when beaten a neck at Killarney (20.5f, yielding) 10 days ago; up 3lb but entitled to go well again.

Improved on first start for Shark Hanlon when runner-up on chase debut at Downpatrick (19.5f, good) off 2lb lower; they pulled well clear and he should relish the extra distance here.

Surprise winner at Tramore (2m6f, yielding) last month off 89; better than bare result at Kilbeggan on latest when pecked on landing and almost unseated when making good headway; not ruled out.

Hit form approaching the start of autumn last year, winning over fences at Killarney and hurdles at Galway; pulled up off career-high hurdles mark at Fairyhouse in January; capable of bouncing back.

Won Kilbeggan handicap hurdle (2m3f, good to yielding) last summer under 5lb claimer; ran well for long way on second chase start when sixth at Clonmel; well-backed when disappointing in handicap hurdle here on latest; the jury is out.

Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; belatedly tried over fences when midfield at Wexford last month; beaten a neck over hurdles at Cork (24.5f) 12 days ago; don't rule out.

Nazine
Modest strike-rate of 1-21 over hurdles, with that win in 2021; has shown ability over fences but needs to bounce back from tame hurdles efforts.

Zolpharine
Maiden hurdle winner at Kilbeggan (2m, good to yielding) in 2023; respectable hurdles run at that same venue last week but has modest chase form; risky.

Bondi Boy Blue
Patchy form over hurdles but improved on his chase debut when close third at Sligo (3m2f, good) off this mark in October; not as good at Punchestown next time; chance if the jumping brushes up a bit.

Kadys Dirha
Record of 0-25 under rules but is a better chaser; backed from 50-1 into 10-1 before the off when fifth in 3m1f Tipperary maiden hurdle eight days ago; had three runner-up finishes in handicap chases last summer; each-way contender.

Great Rainbow
Record of 0-10 over hurdles, best effort when third of 16 at Punchestown (20.5f, good to yielding) last May; off since October; would be of interest if the market vibes are strong on chase debut.
