Love Me Tender (G)
Highly impressive when making it 3-3 at Tipperary and again acquitted himself well in Grade 1 company when third at Leopardstown last time, shaping as though this return to 2½m is exactly what he needs. Looks interesting in slightly calmer…

Frankie John (G)
Useful bumper winner typically gave his running when fifth (behind Love Me Tender) in Grade 1 at Leopardstown in early-February, though is unlikely to find life any easier in a deep contest here.

Generous Risk (G)
Expensive point recruit settled better than in bumpers when making a successful hurdle debut at Leopardstown last time. The manner of that victory suggests he's well worth a crack at this level and notable that he's the pick of Jack Kenned…

He's On Fire (G)
FAV
Narrowly beaten by a fellow improver on final start in France and looked a useful prospect when landing the odds with ease at Carlisle on stable debut in February (held Grade 1 entries at the time). Gets the vote of confidence from Paul To…

Hipop De Loire (G)
[P1]
Useful stayer on Flat who found the demands of an Albert Bartlett too much on just his third start over hurdles. At least has sights lowered here, for all he doesn't look the stable's leading hope.

I Started A Joke (G)
[P1]
Fast-improving hurdler who readily landed the odds in Punchestown novice before finishing strong-travelling second on handicap debut at Leopardstown (2m) in early-February. Tackles longer trip in first-time cheekpieces on first foray into …

Kiely's Place (G)
Successful on the second of 2 outings in points and while his pedigree is far from flashy, there was plenty to like about his hurdle debut success at Clonmel in late-February, and he has to be respected for yard who've won 3 of the previou…

Ksar Fatal (G)
Impressive bumper debut winner for Willie Mullins, who having disappointed on final start for that yard, overcame a 10-month absence to make a winning hurdle/stable debut at Punchestown in February. That race has produced subsequent winner…

Lazare De Star (G)

Underlined promising start over hurdles when useful ¾-length second to Heads Up (who'd dictated) in listed novice at Punchestown in February, and while very much a chaser in the making, he looks sure to appreciate this greater test of stam…

Royal Gladiator (G)
Chased home subsequent listed bumper winner on bumper debut and improved from a promising first effort over hurdles when finding plenty to land a 2½m Cork maiden last time. Shaped more like a stayer on that occasion but remains unexposed.

Saint Baco (G)
Half-brother to yard's high-class jumper Saint Roi who reunites with Danny Mullins (1-1), having showed up fairly well in the Baring Bingham at Cheltenham before finishing tamely (fell last). Still on the weak side physically and he could …

You Proof (G)
Point runner-up proved too free on sole start in bumpers but looked a useful prospect when making a successful hurdles debut at Limerick in December. Open to improvement, despite that form taking a few knocks subsequently.
