Difficult Decision (G)
[PT]
Veteran who has been very lightly raced in recent seasons and he's not kicked on from a fairly encouraging belated reappearance fourth over hurdles at Punchestown in 2 subsequent runs over fences/hurdles. Others more persuasive.

Ag Obair Go Crua (G)
[PT]
Progressive equipped with cheekpieces/tongue tie, opening his account over hurdles at Gowran in October. Career best when adding to his tally over fences at Tramore (22.8f) on New Year's Day prior to a rather laboured fourth at Fairyhouse …

Ishan (G)
[P1T]
3-time hurdle winner who has been absent since finishing eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (19.8f, heavy) 12 months ago. The betting can likely prove a useful guide with cheekpieces now added for this return to chasing.

Long Road (G)
[P]
Has shown little in handicap chases and unseated on each of his last 2 starts in maiden hunter events. Jumping remains a significant concern.

God Help Us (G)
[P]
Confirmed more positive signs displayed from the spring when off the mark in 13-runner handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f) in September Backed that up with a respectable third of 12 in handicap chase at Killarney (23.4f) a month later and f…

Duce Bigalow (G)
Still a maiden but knocking firmly at the door of late, again finding only one too good in 13-runner handicap chase (5/1) at Fairyhouse (23.8f, heavy) 5 days ago, headed run-in before rallying. Sound claims of going one place better from s…

Made In The Woods (G)
One win from 31 NH runs. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Navan (24f, heavy, 11/2) 40 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Rejoined yard after leaving Michael Winters and others boast more compelling claims.

Zolpharine (G)
[T1]
Boasts just the one win from 39 NH runs and not threatened in recent months, well-beaten seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Thurles (20f, heavy) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time returned to this sphere but he has it to prove.

Connemara Shore (M)
Little show in maiden/handicap hurdles but this former point winner who had been well backed, departed just as the race was taking shape on his chase debut at Navan (3m) 6 weeks ago. Noteworthy if the market spoke in her favour again.

Phillip Enright | R Tyner | 6 | 65.3 kg |

Tullabrack Lad (G)
Big prices and very little impact over hurdles and it's been a similar story in 2 chase starts since the turn of the year. Looks up against it again.
