Westernersunrise (M)
[T]
Has returned in good heart, finishing fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy) 19 days ago, and she'll appreciate this slight drop in grade.

Philip Donovan | J Fahey | 7 | 76.2 kg |

One And Only (G)
Enjoyed fine campaign over hurdles last season culminating with a second at this track and while it's been a mixed bag over fences this term, the return to hurdling should suit. Could be worth chancing.

Phillip Enright | O McKiernan | 8 | 75.7 kg |

Roc My Haarth (G)
Maiden bounced back to his best when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy) 25 days ago and with the third having won since over fences, he has to enter calculations.
|
Liam Quinlan | R Hackett | 7 | 73.9 kg |

Gaelic Des Chastys (G)
Placed in 4 consecutive handicaps (3 at this track) since winning at Listowel over fences in September and should give his running again.

Mickey Hulie (G)
FAV
Lightly-raced maiden showed much improved form when going close at Naas (23.8f, soft) 8 days ago, only bettered by one less exposed than himself. Further progress cannot be ruled out.

Sean Flanagan | D H Kelly | 6 | 73 kg |

My Friend The Wind (G)

Pulled up on previous 2 starts over hurdles, latterly at Punchestown in January following 4 months off.

Sock It To Me (G)
Low-mileage 5-y-o stepped up on previous efforts when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy, 14/1) 19 days ago, seemingly more suited by positive tactics. Fifth a winner since and he looks sure to be in the mix.

Ardera Gun (G)

Hit the frame in a bumper/maiden but has made little impact in 3 handicap starts.

Dalmatic (G)
[B]
Course winner in December but not in same form when thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22f, heavy, 12/1) 59 days ago. Wouldn't be a sure thing to bounce back, either.

Gary Noonan | W J O'Doherty | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Without Exception (G)
[P]
Better than the result when third at this course in December and similar story (still in contention home turn) when pulled up last time. Slightly longer trip should be in his favour and he cannot be discounted.

Simon Torrens | P J Rothwell | 7 | 71.2 kg |

Walkmethroughit (G)
[T1]
Better than the beaten distance on handicap bow but no surprise to see first-time tongue strap fitted having reportedly made a noise when pulled up at Punchestown last time.

Abbie Murphy | J Motherway | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Mullanour (G)
Maiden turned in his best effort of the season when second of 15 in 3m handicap hurdle at Clonmel (heavy, 14/1) 14 days ago and looks on a handy mark now.

Cian Cullinan | W J Martin | 7 | 69.9 kg |

Le Fanu (G)
Below form over 2m at this course last month and will need to improve for the marked step up in trip.

Shanroe Nelson (G)
Improved for switch to positive tactics when third at Fairyhouse but was reported to be coughing post-race following chase debut there last time.

Ballingurteen (M)
Runner-up sole start in points. Disappointed over trip expected to suit on latest start in maiden, though showed a bit prior to that, and she could well be more competitive now switched to handicaps.

Michael Kenneally | T O'Brien | 6 | 67.1 kg |

La Tene (M)
Well beaten both starts since returning from long absence, latest on handicap bow at Clonmel 2 weeks ago. Does at least benefit from a step up in trip.

Fortunate Outcome (M)
Has run creditably in a couple of handicaps this season, though remains with stamina to prove, even at this slightly shorter trip (pulled up over 3m last time)
