| 2nd | 1 | — |
Aguellid (G)
[H]
Posted a career-best when winning 18-runner maiden hurdle at Wincanton (15f, soft) 63 days ago. Had a bit left up his sleeve that day and while more is needed now handicapping, this low-mileage 5-y-o needs considering.

Aidan Kelly | P Hobbs & J White | 5 | 76.2 kg |

5/1

| — | 2 | — |
Sir Allen (G)
Winner of a 12-runner handicap on the Flat at Navan (1¾m, heavy) 30 days ago but looks vulnerable back in this sphere.
|
Sam Coen | A Slattery | 7 | 76.2 kg |

God Of Thunder (G)
[PT]
None too reliable and trailed in last of 20 in handicap on the level at Navan (13f, good) 4 days ago. Failed to fire on latest start in this sphere, too.
|
Philip Donovan | D Hogan | 7 | 75.3 kg |
34
33/1
|
| — | 4 | — |
Hitak (G)
Sported first-time cheekpieces when a respectable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (2¾m, good to soft) 130 days ago. Likely to come up short back in this sphere.
|
Adam Leahy | J J Hanlon | 9 | 75.3 kg |

25/1
|
| — | 5 | — |
Miss Manzor (M)
First run since leaving Willie Mullins when last of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (1¾m, good) on the Flat last May. That proved to his sole run for the Noel Kelly yard and now in the care of Gordon Elliott.
|
Paddy Cleary | G Elliott | 6 | 75.3 kg |

100/1
|
| 7th | 6 | — |
Straight John (G)
[T]
Made it third time lucky in maiden hurdles here in February. Creditable third of 7 in novice hurdle at Naas (2m, soft) next time and should have more to offer now moving up in trip for this handicap debut.
|
Josh Williamson | G Elliott | 5 | 75.3 kg |
6.50
11/2
|
| 4th | 7 | — |
Long Branch (G)
[P1]
Successful at Thurles in December and latest second of 5 in novice hurdle at Wexford (3m, soft) was creditable. Cheekpieces now enlisted and he's not without each-way hope.

Sean Cleary-Farrell | S Neville | 6 | 74.8 kg |

| 8th | 8 | — |
Radiator Springs (M)
FAV
Promising type. Second of 21 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) 23 days ago, leaving the strong impression that this stiffer test will be right up her street. Needs considering.
|
Patrick M O'Brien | H De Bromhead | 6 | 74.8 kg |

9/2
|
| 13th | 9 | — |
Thanksforthehelp (G)
[BT]
Only ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) 46 days ago. However, blinkers now refitted and couldn't rule out off a mark 3 lb higher compared to when winning this 12 months ago.
|
Rian Corcoran | D Pipe | 9 | 74.8 kg |
7.50
13/2
|
| 3rd | 10 | — |
Toll Stone (G)
Good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (17f, good to soft) in August, going with enthusiasm. Absent since but it's likely that his shrewd handler will have him spot-on for this assignment.
|
Elizabeth Gale | E Mullins | 6 | 74.8 kg |
17
16/1
|
| — | 11 | — |
Minella Supreme (G)
[P1]
Below par sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft) 57 days ago and opposable on this handicap debut. Cheekpieces applied.
|
Paddy Hanlon | J C McConnell | 6 | 74.4 kg |
51
50/1
|
| 5th | 12 | — |
Cloonainra (M)
[P]
Fairly useful winner at 19f in chases. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in novice chase (7/2) at Down Royal (2½m, good to soft) 43 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.
|
Dylan Kidd | J C McConnell | 7 | 73.9 kg |

| 11th | 13 | — |
Kamino Bello (G)
Finished sixth of 7 in a novice hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) when last seen in January. Improvement needed now handicapping.
|
Eoin Staples | G P Cromwell | 6 | 73.9 kg |

16/1
|
| 6th | 14 | — |
Jolie Jewel (M)
[H]
Hit the target at Thurles in November but was below par when nearer last than first at Leopardstown (21f, good) the following month. Absent since and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
|
Calum Hogan | B McMahon | 7 | 73.5 kg |
41
40/1
|
| 14th | 15 | — |
Minella Post (G)
Failed to progress when fourth of 11 in maiden hurdle at this course (23f, soft) last February. Likely to do better in handicaps but this is a tall order following a 15-month absence.
|
James Smith | T Gibney | 7 | 73.5 kg |

| 12th | 16 | — |
Ryan's Son (G)
[H1]
Equipped with a first-time tongue strap when last of 6 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (2m) 58 days ago. Hood enlisted now upped in trip for this handicap debut and needs to raise his game.
|
Charlie O'Dwyer | Liz Doyle | 6 | 73.5 kg |

Falcon Eight (G)
[P]
Finished sixth of 7 in minor event on the Flat at the Curragh (1¾m, heavy) 26 days ago. Latest display over hurdles was poor and this 11-y-o is probably worth taking on.
|
Hugh Horgan | D K Weld | 11 | 72.6 kg |

| — | 18 | — |
Garrybello (G)
[T]
Twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (2m, good to soft) 101 days ago and needs to take a step forward now upped in trip with the tongue strap refitted.

Liam McKenna | T Cooper | 8 | 72.6 kg |

Kalanisi Flash (G)
[PT]
Pulled up in a handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f, good) when last seen in October. Bagged a Downpatrick maiden on latest start in this sphere but that was 2 years ago and he's opposable.
|
Shane Fitzsimons | J C McConnell | 9 | 72.6 kg |

| — | 20 | — |
Katie Daniels (M)
[PT]
Fitted with a first-time tongue strap (retained) when winning a 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) 24 days ago. That represented a clear career-best and a 7 lb rise looks manageable.
|
Carl Millar | C Collins | 7 | 72.6 kg |
13

Claude (G)
[T]
Successful at Wexford last summer but finished last of 7 in a novice hurdle at the same course (2m, soft). when last seen in October.

Peter Smithers | Ms S J Connell | 5 | 71.7 kg |

Sopelana (F)
[PT]
Course winner. Good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Navan (2m, soft) 39 days ago but better will be needed if she's to go one better back now back up in trip.
|
Kevin Healy | C Collins | 4 | 71.7 kg |
26
25/1
|
| — | 23 | — |
Better Times (G)
Scored at Downpatrick last month and good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (23f, good to soft) recently. Can make his presence felt off the same mark.
|
Michael Kenneally | S G Carey | 6 | 71.2 kg |
17
16/1

| — | 24 | — |
Aurea Fortuna (G)
[T]
Below form when ninth of 17 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21f, soft) 25 days ago. Tongue strap refitted now returned to hurdles and he's opposable on balance.
|
Harry Sexton | A J Martin | 7 | 70.8 kg |

| 1st | 25 | — |
Jacovec Cavern (G)
[P]
Struck over fences at Gowran in November but could finish only tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2½m, heavy) last time. Others preferred.

Richard Condon | P Hennessy | 7 | 70.3 kg |
34

| 10th | 26 | — |
Mi Lucky Cailin (M)
Latest win at Thurles in January. Pulled up in the Fairyhouse handicap hurdle won by Katie Daniels last time. Easy enough to look elsewhere. RESERVE.

Caragh Monaghan | W J McLernon | 8 | 70.3 kg |

| — | 27 | — |
Moon Mission (G)
Very good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy) but failed to replicate that when midfield in a similarly big field handicap over further here on Tuesday. RESERVE.

Reserve 2 | P J Rothwell | 5 | 70.3 kg |
12
11/1
|
| 9th | 28 | — |
El Champo (G)
[P]
Latest win over fences at Listowel in September. Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (21f, soft) 23 days ago, weakening quickly. Hard to warm to. RESERVE.
