Meet And Greet (G)
[P1]
Hasn't taken to chasing this season but return to hurdles will suit and not on a bad mark on old form. Headgear on.

Timeless Treaty (G)
Coped best with testing conditions when the wide-margin winner of a 6-runner novice at Thurles in February. Good efforts in defeat next 2 starts and back in a handicap now.

Grann's Boy (G)
FAV
Improved again when winning at Listowel in September and backed that up in between a couple of good runs on the Flat when second at Galway. Remains of interest.

Shabby Hill (G)
Point winner who confirmed promise of hurdling debut when winning maiden at Punchestown and did well to follow up at Navan 16 days ago. Remains unexposed going into handicaps.

Welonlyhavedone (G)
Debut hurdles winner at Galway in October and posted an excellent third in 2m novice at Navan in January. Pulled up (in extreme conditions) at Thurles last time but remains with potential for shrewd yard now going handicapping.

Eagles Reign (G)
[B]
Has gone well fresh in the past and bounced back to form after 3 months off when second of 17 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Naas 4 weeks ago, shaping as if a return to further will suit.

Kovanis (G)
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Highly tried after but worth another chance with sights lowered a bit.

Hgranca De Thaix (G)
Better for return when just denied at Leopardstown and backed that up when runner-up at Navan. Not quite in same form at Naas last time.

Healys Pub (G)
Showed improved form when off the mark in maiden hurdles at the third attempt at Naas last month. Step up in trip likely to suit on handicap bow so worth a look.

Slane Hill (G)

Winner at Navan last season and continued in good heart over hurdles. Shaped as if amiss when last seen in August.

Blue Mosque (M)
Has been rather expensive to follow since her first 2 wins but took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 17 at Naas 4 weeks ago.

Buachaillbocht (G)
[P1T]
Won a novice chase here on final start last season but hasn't kicked on this season, failing to impress with both his attitude and jumping at Naas last month. Back over hurdles now and headgear changed.

Fierce Handay (G)

Off the mark second start in a handicap here (2m) in December but things haven't gone to plan since. Not taken lightly back up in trip.

Must Go Now (G)
Turned in his best effort of the season in first-time cheekpieces when third of 18 at Cork 18 days ago but has work to do from out of the handicap.

El Champo (G)
[P]
Back-to-back winner over fences earlier in the season but saw his sequence of good efforts checked on a rare drop to 2m after 9 weeks off at Gowran last month. Does have a lower mark to exploit back over hurdles.
