Won at this course/distance in maiden chase last January, then at Fairyhouse. Recently 6th at Navan (12/1), below best form. May improve returning to familiar course with cheekpieces refitted.

Krabat (G)
Fifth of 18 in a handicap hurdle 29 days ago after 7 months off. Won a 12-runner handicap chase at Limerick (6/1) 15 days ago, his first success since 2021/22 when showing the benefit of that recent spin. Up 5lbs but could still be competi…

Has gone the wrong way since novice days and was pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (11/1) 28 days ago. First-time blinkers applied to spark a revival.

Solly Attwell (G)
[P]
Won two Chase handicaps in September before finishing fifth of 12 at Newbury (40/1) 43 days ago, never threatening with tentative jumping. Down 5lbs and could be more competitive if returning to better jumping form.

Soloman Lane (G)
Showed good form in handicap chases on soft/heavy ground. Won at Navan (22/1) 28 days ago, improving after previous run and battling to win by a head. Up 4lbs but capable of running well if building on that career-best effort.

Gringo D'aubrelle (G)

Has shown improvement since poor chase maiden efforts in 2024, winning a 14-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (6/1) 36 days ago. Runs off a lower chase mark now and could build on previous course experience at Punchestown.

Hardwired (G)
[BT]
Has 3 course wins but finished 14th of 16 in chase handicap at this course (28/1) 11 days ago, needing the run after 7 months off. Unreliable but could fare better in this second run after the break.

Whateys Quest (G)
In good form, 2nd in handicap hurdle at Limerick recently. Should remain competitive returning to fences based on consistent recent performances.

Harbour Highway (G)
Form tailed off in recent chases. Seventh of 9 in maiden chase at Naas (50/1) 27 days ago, seemingly being prepared for handicaps. Could show improvement.

Bigbraveboy (G)
Opened account at Tramore (12/1) 47 days ago before finishing fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Navan (7/2) 28 days ago, finding a 6lb rise too much. May prefer these staying chase distances based on recent performances.
