American Jukebox (G)
[P]
Scored at Tramore in January and not disgraced when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Thurles (22f, good to soft, 15/2) 28 days ago. Yard in good form so needs considering on his handicap hurdle debut.

From The Ashes (G)
[P]
7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft) 32 days ago. Up 7 lb but had something left in the tank there so is very much one to consider.

Chase The Moon (G)
Debut winner at Gowran in November but well below that form both runs since, a remote sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip for his handicap bow with plenty more required.

Tiernan Power Roche | P J Rothwell | 5 | 73.5 kg |

Gorvitho (G)
[T]
Runner-up in France sole Flat outing in 2022. Very lightly raced since and tongue tied after 6 months off when a fading fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, heavy) 38 days ago. Can build on it now going into handicaps.

Paul Townend | W P Mullins | 7 | 73.5 kg |

Kir (G)
Got off the mark at Limerick in October and advanced his form when third of 16 in handicap hurdle there (24f, heavy) 49 days ago, seemingly in control when blundered last. Remains unexposed and can gain compensation nudged up 2 lb.

Darragh O'Keeffe | H De Bromhead | 6 | 73.5 kg |

West Of Bally (G)
Bagged 2m2f maiden at Limerick in November and not discredited when third of 8 in novice hurdle there (19f, heavy) 48 days ago. Goes into handicaps now and could improve.

Calum Hogan | E McNamara | 6 | 73 kg |

Drop A Threat (G)
[HT]
Lightly-raced maiden who took a big step forward when fourth of 13 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Clonmel (16.9f, heavy) 38 days ago, not knocked about. Appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicap company.

Nettuno Italia (G)
FAV
Confirmed earlier promise to open account in 13-runner handicap hurdle here (23f, heavy) 20 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but he was well on top at the finish so is not taken lightly.

Live To Laugh (G)
Fair maiden hurdler who posted an encouraging third at Cork on his debut over fences in January. Hampered and fell first in novice chase at Thurles 17 days ago but still needs considering back in this sphere.

Ethan O'Sullivan | Peter Fahey | 7 | 64 kg |

Roc My Haarth (G)
Remains winless and he was in midfield when fell 5 out in handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.9f, heavy) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Liam Quinlan | R Hackett | 7 | 64 kg |

Sean Mc (G)
Low-mileage 6-y-o who is knocking on the door, undone by a blunder 2 out when second of 16 in handicap hurdle here (19.3f, heavy, 6/4) 34 days ago. Remains open to progress. Firmly in the picture.
