Additional Time (G)
[P]
Showed some promise in hurdles before winning a 4-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (1/3) 79 days ago by 23 lengths despite not being impressive and tending to edge left. Makes chase debut after displaying modest ability over hurdles.

Enge Hazard (G)
[T]
Has shown modest hurdle form, including when third at Thurles in November before finishing sixth of 13 in handicap at Navan (9/2) 28 days ago. Making chase debut and will need to improve on hurdles form.

Veteran 12-year-old who switched to chasing after modest hurdling career. Finished fourth of 9 in maiden chase at Naas (300/1) 27 days ago, making headway in the straight before plugging on. Facing similar task here and should be thereabou…

No wins since 2022; pulled up of 17 in hurdle (40/1) 10 days ago; unlikely to improve for this chase debut.

Silver King (G)
[HT]
Without a win in 11 starts since January 2024, finished 13th of 16 in handicap chase at Punchestown (14/1) 11 days ago when making running before weakening. Hard to fancy on recent form.

Katie Daniels (M)
Won a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in November but ran poorly when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (9/1) 16 days ago. Worth watching on chase debut having shown aptitude for staying hurdles.
