Billy Lee Swagger (G)
[P]
Better than ever when winning handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in November. However, ran no sort of race at Naas 3 weeks ago so bit to prove now sent chasing.

Find A Fortune (G)
Came to chasing late but matched his winning hurdles form with a comeback run under his belt when fourth in maiden at Leopardstown and he's a player.

Great Universe (G)
[T]
Bumper/hurdles winner but has made an inauspicious start in this sphere and refused 2 out at Navan when last seen in December.

Karafon (G)
FAV
[PT]
Winning hurdler for Willie Mullins who shaped well on second start over fences when runner-up at Ayr in January. Excuses since and this looks a good opening with headgear back on.

Littlefoot (G)
Below par over hurdles of late but capable of being involved on the pick of his form now chasing (placed both starts in points).

Mercury Mission (G)
Recorded third win over hurdles at Wexford in August but not in same form later that month and off since. Bit to find even on best form now chasing.

Strutter (G)
FAV
[HT1]
Signed off for Nicky Henderson with 2m Uttoxeter hurdles success and followed up in good style after 7 months off at Limerick in December 2024. Too free sent chasing after 14 months off at Leopardstown 26 days ago and tongue strap now appl…

Torquay Road (G)
Back-to-back winner over hurdles earlier this season and improved when third in maiden at Down Royal on chase bow on Boxing Day. Heavy ground a possible excuse at Fairyhouse since.

Dee's Lady (M)
FAV
[P1]
Improved when making a winning handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown 4 weeks ago. More needed again sent over fences but is the type to make a better chaser. Headgear on.
