Lenjoleur De Palma (G)
FAV
C&D winner in November (good form). 9/4, creditable 1¾ lengths second of 12 to Its Bilbo in listed handicap back here (2m, heavy) 83 days ago and he's high on the shortlist.

Crohan Lady (M)
[T]
Excellent third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, heavy) 31 days ago, on what was her final run for the John Gerard Lonergan yard. Will need to raise her game in order to make a winning debut for new stable.

Free Flow (G)
[B]
Clear-cut winner of Thurles maiden hurdle last spring but it's been a struggle in handicap company since and overall record is a modest 1-24 (Flat and jumps).

Something Noble (G)
Modest maiden on the Flat and sprang a surprise when, sent off at 50/1, landing a 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on debut in this sphere last summer. However, found things tougher at Listowel next time and was ag…

Marelly (G)
[B]
C&D winner who notched third success over hurdles at Gowran in January. Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle back there (2m, heavy, 11/1) 15 days ago and it could be that he's a shade too high in the weights for now.

Malikanna (M)
Another low-key display when coming home ninth of 21 in a maiden hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 28 days ago. However, it's not hard to envisage this mare taking a step forward now pitched into a handicap off what looks a fair opening mark.

Minority Interest (G)
[P]
Successful at Gowran in October but turned in a lacklustre display when tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle returned to that course 15 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Donnrua Dream (G)
[BT]
Successful here in February but went up 9 lb for that and failed to land a meaningful blow when sixth of 9 in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2m, heavy) 24 days ago. Opposable.

Bohemian Bay (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who has yet to pull up any trees under Rules, faring no better switched to handicap company at Clonmel last month.

Crafty Gael (G)
[P]
Fair maiden placed 3 times in similar events in summer 2023 (below-par when last seen in January 2024). Would have a serious chance off this mark if he puts his best foot forward but it's a big ask for him to do so on the back of such a le…

Halsafari (G)
Course winner who returned to form when a respectable third of 8 in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel (2m, heavy) 24 days ago. Just 3 lb above last successful mark and he has to enter calculations.

Harry Sexton | J Barcoe | 13 | 66.7 kg |

Carlas Big Jim (G)
Twenty-one runs since last win back in 2024. That said, recent sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2½m, heavy) was respectable and, down another 2 lb and dropping back to the minimum trip, he could have a part to play.

Looks very limited and hopes pinned on the first-time tongue strap sparking improvement here.
