High Class Hero (G)
Developed into a smart chaser last season and shaped encouragingly after 7 months off when runner-up in a Punchestown handicap (21.3f) in November. However, possibly found conditions too testing when pulled up in Thyestes at Gowran (25f, h…

Velvet Elvis (G)
[PB1]
Smart chaser at best, runner-up in the Thyestes last season for Gavin Cromwell. Pulled up 2 of 3 starts for current yard this season, though, including in latest renewal of the same Gowran race 45 days ago. Blinkers tried.

Kinturk Kalanisi (G)
Shaped up well over fences last season and third of 28 in listed handicap at Leopardstown (24.5f) on return. However, was found to have bled when tailed off in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (21.5f, soft, 11/2 fav) 5 weeks ago.

Grandero Bello (G)
[T]
Useful handicap chaser who took a step back in the right direction over hurdles when third of 14 at Gowran 22 days ago. Has dropped back down to last winning mark in this sphere if building on latest run.

Sa Majeste (G)
Took well to chasing last term, winning twice before third in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. Yet to fire in 3 starts this season, pulled up in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (21.5f, soft) last time, though his mark has eased as a result.

Shanbally Kid (G)
[P]
Bounced back to best when gaining a first chase success in a Punchestown handicap (31.3f) in May. Not discredited in Leopardstown Handicap Chase after 8 months off, before possibly finding the race coming too soon in the Thyestes last time…

Goraibhmaithagat (G)

Confirmed promise of previous run when opening chase account in 12-runner listed novice handicap at this course (20f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, rallying to lead near finish. Respected with further progress to come back up in trip.

Bushmans Pass (G)
[P]
Added to his tally over fences when landing this race last year. Had excuses in Irish Grand National next time, before shaping as if needing the run when fourth of 8 in listed handicap at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) on return. Interesting back…

Uhavemeinstitches (M)
Made a winning chasing debut at Wexford and improved form next 2 starts, third in Grade 2 mares novice at Limerick (22.5f) in December. Inadequate test when third of 4 in listed event at this course last month, so she's a major player uppe…

Chosen Witness (G)

Dual winning hurdler, but form went the wrong way over fences early last year and has struggled in 2 starts this season, sixteenth of 23 in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (21.5f, soft) 5 weeks ago.

Harvard Guy (G)
Much improved over hurdles in 2023/24, landing a course hat-trick (all at 20f), before missing last season. Yet to match that form over fences, seventh of 12 in listed novice handicap here (20f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, but he still remains cap…

The Lovely Man (G)
[T]
Off the mark in handicap chase at Navan in December and followed up over hurdles at Gowran. Back over fences, fared best of those held up when sixth of 14 at Punchestown (27.3f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, so he could still have more to offer in t…

Buachaillbocht (G)

Built By Ballymore (G)
[BT]
Still looking for a first win over fences, but with blinkers added he produced best effort in this sphere when third of 14 in listed handicap at Punchestown (27.3f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Remains on handy mark based on his hurdles form.

Ballybow (G)
[B]
Grade 3 novice hurdle winner but below that level over fences this season, in first-time blinkers when fourth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (19.3f, heavy) 22 days ago. Has something to find as he goes handicapping from 6 lb out of weights.

Prophet's Corner (G)
Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles but has made little impact in 4 chase starts, eighth of 11 in novice handicap at this course 6 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it.
