Free Flowing (G)
Only raced twice since winning 11-runner maiden hurdle at Galway in October 2023, offering little on reappearance from 26 months off in December. Questions to answer on handicap debut but does have good-value apprentice aboard.

Is Charlie Around (G)
[T]
Backed up previous effort when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (15.7f, heavy, 5/2) 16 days ago, clear of rest. In good form and shouldn't lack for stamina in likely testing conditions.

Phils Choice (M)
[B1]
Arrives out of sorts and remains with just sole win from 22 starts. Now tried in more severe headgear.

Tingarran Express (M)
[H]
Dual course winner was as good as ever reverted to front-running tactics to land 10-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.4f, good to firm) in August. Tougher test returning from 6 months off under markedly different conditions.

Mount Frisco (G)
FAV
Isn't the most consistent but ended lengthy losing run in 9-runner handicap chase at Gowran (19.3f, heavy, 8/1) 12 days ago, rallying to lead late. Races off an unchanged mark back over hurdles and could follow up with prospect for an easy…

Bossing It (M)
Eye-catching third at Galway in September but below form both starts since. Has been freshened up though and worth noting if market vibes are positive.

Political Stance (G)
No impact at long odds in maidens but could well improve for now sent handicapping by shrewd yard following a break.

Set The Tone (M)

Previous two handicap hurdle starts have been poor and she was well beaten on chase debut/reappearance earlier this month.
