Doctor Steinberg (G)
FAV
Useful bumper scorer who has taken really well to hurdling, winning 21.5f Galway maiden and 2½m Navan Grade 2 (heavy) before Christmas. Looks capable of even better and likely hard to beat again.

Frankie John (G)

Jalon D'oudairies (G)
One of the leading bumper performers of the 2023/24 season. Runner-up both starts over hurdles since returning from an absence, latterly beaten ½ length by Frankie John over 20.5f here in December. Likely has a bigger performance in him bu…

Kazansky (G)
Has won both completed starts over hurdles, latterly a Grade 2 novice at Limerick (23f, heavy) just after Christmas. Likely even more to come and the mount of Jack Kennedy from the Elliott quartet.

Love Me Tender (G)
Grade 3 winner at Tipperary in October. Lost his unbeaten record but still performed with credit when third in 2m course Grade 3 at the Christmas meeting. Steps up significantly in trip. Respected.

Riskaway (G)
Successful start over hurdles at Thurles in November. Bettered that form when second of 4 at Limerick (2½m, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Can improve again.

Santo Sospir (G)
Won a big-field maiden hurdle over 19.5f at Punchestown in November and followed up in 17f conditions hurdle at Clonmel (heavy) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should continue to progress.

Tackletommywoowoo (G)
Hasn't looked back since getting off the mark in 3m Wexford handicap last summer, adding 2 novice events around 3m at Cork in the autumn, latterly a listed hurdle. This a whole lot tougher, though.

Yeshil (G)
Lightly-raced sort who was notably strong in the betting before landing a 21f Punchestown maiden on return in November. 3¾ lengths third of 5 to reopposing Kazansky in Grade 2 novice at Limerick (23f, heavy) since. May do better again.
