World Of Fortunes (M)
Four-time winner over hurdles last season and, with chasing quickly shelved, made a successful handicap debut at Ballinrobe in September. Below form in listed race at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft, 5/2) in December, but no surprise to see…

Baby Kate (M)
Useful bumper winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Naas last season. Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when second of 5 in minor event at Clonmel (16.9f, heavy, 6/1) 6 weeks ago, but more needed in this contest.

Cousin Kate (M)
Most progressive mare who defied another rise in the weights when completing the hat-trick in 18-runner listed handicap at Leopardstown (18f, heavy, 13/2) 17 days ago. Looks well worth her place in this higher grade.

Grainne A Chroi (M)
Impressive winner at Clonmel on second start over hurdles and took her form up a notch when second of 11 in Shannon Spray Mares Novices' Hurdle at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft, 28/1) in March. Has 11-month absence to overcome.

Kilbarry Saint (M)
[T]
Sole success came over hurdles 2 years ago. Showed fairly useful form sent chasing last season but has faced stiff tasks the last twice, well beaten in Grade 2 novice at Cork (16.9f, soft) in December. Has work to do back hurdling.

FAV
[T]
Useful form when winning first 2 of 3 starts over hurdles but hasn't matched that level since (including over fences), 20½ lengths fourth of 6 to Home By The Lee in John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran (23.5f, heavy, 12/1) 27 days ago. Dro…

Pebble Bleu (M)
Has benefited from the switch back to hurdling, making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts with a dominant success in 10-runner handicap at this course (23f, heavy, 9/4) 2 weeks ago. Faces a tough ask in this grade, though.
