Out of sorts over fences when last seen in the autumn and needs return to hurdling to provide a major spark.

Hesgonethatway (G)
FAV
Proved a different proposition when running out a convincing winner of 12-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (15.7f, heavy) recently. Hit with 9 lb rise but that may not be enough to halt him with the slightly longer trip sure to be in his fav…

Miss P Elvin | P J Rothwell | 5 | 74.8 kg |

| 1st | 3 | — |
Campbell Black (G)
Matched previous form when fourth of 11 in maiden at this course (20f, good to soft, 12/1) last month. Into handicaps now and improvement needed.

| 4th | 4 | — |
Oaks Soldier (G)
Proved to be a disappointment when last of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 9/2) on most recent outing but worth another chance to build on earlier promise now handicapping.

Ms A T O'Reilly | Eamon Courtney | 6 | 74.4 kg |

A Nod To Getaway (G)
[B]
Latest win in chase here in October and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (22.6f, heavy, 14/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip with blinkers refitted.

Komtesa (M)
Landed a claiming chase at Nimes in November 2024. In the frame on last 2 hurdle starts but the form is no better than modest. First run for yard after leaving M. Seror.

| 11th | 8 | — |
Duke Otto (G)
C&D winner who wasn't at his best when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, soft) latest. Can make presence felt from this mark if recapturing pick of his form.

Caragh Monaghan | P J Flynn | 8 | 72.1 kg |

Happy Me (G)
Fair maiden hurdler who ran about as well as could be expected when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 13/2) on most recent outing. Needs to back that up now returning to handicap company.

Live Your Dreams (C)
Showed his first form when eighth of 15 in maiden hurdle (200/1) at Punchestown (16f, heavy) 15 days ago, better placed than most. Makes handicap debut from what looks a stiff opening mark.

I'm Flattered (M)
[T]
Winner at Kilbeggan in August and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Punchestown (16.5f, good to soft) in January. Merits consideration.
