[P1]
Well-held fifth of 12 in novice chase at this course (22.6f, heavy) on debut over fences 24 days ago. Not ruled out quickly switched back to hurdles though with cheekpieces added.

Slotty Dotty (M)
[T]
Arrives below form over fences, sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 37 days ago. Needs to bounce back reverted to this sphere.

Magic Boum (M)
[P1]
Debut Navan winner and she posted much her best effort since when an excellent fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Navan (20.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Leading contender off an unchanged mark.

Watching The Clock (M)
Winner in hurdle at Gowran in October. 10/1, respectable fifth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, good to soft) 34 days ago so she needs considering.

Pebble Bleu (M)
FAV
Made it two wins in her last three runs in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.6f, heavy) 6 days ago. Saddles a 7 lb penalty but not taken lightly in her current mood.

Catchabird (M)
Still a maiden but she is knocking on the door, third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy) 15 days ago when doing too much too soon. Another bold showing is on the cards if her stamina holds out over this much longer trip.

Queen Nel (M)
Twelve runs since her last win in 2024 and only seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Others appeal more.

Dancing After Dark (M)
[T]
Winner of 3m handicap hurdle at Limerick in November 2024. Off 12 months since only ninth in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (26f) so has her fitness to prove back hurdling.

Walk In The Clouds (M)
Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 15 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 20 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut with plenty more required.
