Gold Dancer (G)
[T]
Completed a hat-trick in Grade 3 at Tipperary in October over this trip. Found Grade 1 company too hot next two runs but not discredited when last of 4 in Grade 2 at Navan (3m) last month, fading from last and not knocked about. No forlorn…

Sixmilebridge (G)
[T]
Front runner who has looked a smart recruit to chasing this term, completing a hat-trick in 4-runner Scilly Isles at Sandown in January having earlier won at Ayr and over C&D. Has more to offer on his handicap debut and a likely player.

Slade Steel (G)
FAV
[T]
2024 Supreme Hurdle victor. Quite lightly raced since but has shown smart form over fences despite failing to win, fading late when runner-up for the fourth time in 3m Navan novice in January. Could still do better though now going into ha…

Regent's Stroll (G)
FAV
[H]
Useful winning hurdler who built on his chasing debut promise when easily winning a match at Wincanton in December. Again hooded but failed to go on as expected when a free-going second of 5 in C&D novice following month. Jumps well and re…

Ol Man Dingle (G)
[TP1]
Progressed into a useful hurdler last term and took it up another notch over fences when bagging Galway maiden and Cork Grade 3. Came in a well-held fifth in Drinmore Chase at Fairyhouse when last seen in November though. More needed on hi…

King Alexander (G)
A useful and versatile winning hurdler who has made a positive start in this sphere, comfortably landing the odds in 2m3f novice at Gowran last month. Likely capable of better on his first go in a handicap chase and shouldn't be underestim…

Wingmen (G)
Winless since his debut over hurdles but he's shown very useful form in a trio of runs sent chasing this term, runner-up for the second time in 2m5f novice at Fairyhouse in January. A likely player now venturing into handicaps for the firs…

Kiss Will (G)
Useful 3m winner over hurdles who has progressed with each of his 3 runs over fences this season. pulling clear of rest when second of 7 in novice at Punchestown (2m7f) last month. Can do better still now going handicapping. Another of the…

Moon Rocket (G)

Quick to get off the mark sent chasing this term, easily taking 3m handicap at Doncaster in November. Beaten in a match there next time though and failed to convince with his jumping when last of 6 in 3m Grade 2 at Windsor in January. Has …

Jordans Cross (G)

Irish point winner was quick to switch to fences and he's looked an exciting prospect, going 3-4 (might be unbeaten but for last-fence fall here) in Timeform Novices' Handicap over C&D in January, getting up late having conceded first run.…

Meetmebythesea (G)
Progressive hurdler last season (won 3 times) and continued his improvement switched to fences when scoring (around 2m) at Wetherby and Ayr either side of Christmas. Found Game Spirit Chase at Newbury too tough last month but the sort to b…

Intense Approach (G)

Useful 3m winning hurdler. Made a winning start over fences at Galway (22.5f) in August but disappointed here in October and came in a well-beaten last of 5 in Grade 3 at Navan last month. Cheekpieces are reached for now and he has plenty …

Stencil (G)
[H]
Useful winning 2m French hurdler and he has made a bright start in this sphere, runner-up at Ascot before easily going one better in 2m novice at Chepstow in January. Well in the mix with more still to come on his first go over this trip.

Western Knight (G)

Went off the boil over hurdles but progressing over fences, landing novices at around this trip at Haydock and Doncaster before a very good second of 3 in Reynoldstown at Ascot (3m) 26 days ago. First go in a handicap and possibilities.

The Bluesman (G)
[T]
Maiden hurdle winner for Paul Nicholls who is much improved over fences for his current yard, readily going 2-3 in handicap at Haydock over this trip last month. Up 8 lb but capable of better still and one to consider.

Where's My Jet (G)
Useful hurdles winner who posted his best effort over fences when sixth of 23 in 2m5f Leopardstown handicap last month, travelling strongly long way. Can do better but looks one of the outsiders of the Mullins quintet.

Dr Eggman (G)
Useful 2m3f winning hurdler. Brought along steadily in maidens in this sphere, third of 10 at Thurles 35 days ago. Has more to offer on his handicap debut for all he'll be one of the longer-priced runners for Willie Mullins.

Ben Solo (G)
Much improved for the switch to fences this term, making all in 2m3f Chepstow handicap in November. Looked set to bag a second success there when unseated rider 3 out (in front) just after Christmas. That form has worked out well and he's …
