Noble Birth (G)
[B1T]
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. 25/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft) 49 days ago. This course winner must enter calculations with blinkers on for 1st time.

Solly Attwell (G)
[P]
Fair chaser. Pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (24f, heavy) 24 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Reverts to hurdles and faces no easy task at these weights.

Rocky's Howya (G)
FAV
[V]
Visored for the first time when finally getting off the mark in 6-runner claiming hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 22 days ago. This demands more but he can't be ruled out with headgear retained.

Themanintheboots (G)
[B]
Ended a long losing run in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Navan in November. Below par since though, just seventh of 11 back there (21.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Stable in good form so could bounce back.

Difficult Decision (G)
[P]
Veteran who has been lightly raced in recent seasons and not kicked on from an encouraging Punchestown fourth in December. Others more persuasive.

Fenway Park (G)
[PT]
Resumed winning ways after an unsuccessful stint chasing in 8-runner claiming hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy, 7/2) 6 days ago. Proven over this longer trip and the clear pick on these terms.
