Very smart chaser who scored at Navan in December but he came in a well-held fifth of 6 in Fairyhouse Chase (2½m) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now.

Consistent sort who reverted to hurdles with a good second in Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Tipperary (2m) in October. Not out of things back chasing after a break.

A useful and versatile hurdler who has made a positive start in this sphere, comfortably landing the odds in 2m3f novice at Gowran. Very good fourth of 18 in Jack Richards Handicap at Cheltenham last time. Big shout.

Riaan (G)
[P]
Very useful hurdler/chaser who bounced back to form with win in 5-runner conditions chase at Sligo in October. Needs to hit the ground running after 7 months off here.

Conyers Hill (G)

Winless this season but in good nick, failing to stay when fifth of 18 in Thyestes at Gowran (25f) in January. Could bounce back after a break returned to a shorter trip here.

Nouvotic (G)
[H]
Got back on the up with success in 11-runner handicap chase at Wexford (2½m) in October. Freshened up since and he's not taken lightly with better still to come.

Dreal Deal (G)
[T]
Scored over fences at Killarney last summer and back in good form of late, third of 17 in handicap chase at Haydock (2½m) 25 days ago. This demands more, however.

Magic McColgan (M)
Looked on the up over fences until pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (3m) last month but he wasn't knocked about after being denied a run on the home turn. Well worth another chance to gain a maiden chase success.
