Jerk (G)
[P]
Has gone backwards since his fall in a maiden chase at Cork on reappearance, and it's hard to be confident of a revival back over hurdles.

Patrick M O'Brien | W Durkan | 7 | 75.3 kg |

Mi Lucky Cailin (M)
Finished fourth in a mares listed race at Navan in February but found her run of good form coming to an end when pulled up in a Fairyhouse handicap last time.

Darragh O'Keeffe | W J McLernon | 8 | 75.3 kg |

Iamagetaway (G)
[T]
Fair maiden hurdle winner shaped better than the beaten distance in a handicap chase on final start for James Andrew Fahey last October and looks interesting having since switched to a leading yard.
|
Jack Kennedy | G Elliott | 7 | 73.5 kg |

Survivors Sister (M)
Emphatically opened her account in testing conditions at Limerick but was presumably still feeling the effects of that performance when pulled up at Fairyhouse later in February. Not ruled out on the back of a short break.
|
Jack Gilligan | P J Gilligan | 7 | 73.5 kg |

Sky And Sand (G)
Attracted some support and showed improved form to get off the mark at Gowran last month, but despite the runner-up franking the form, he failed to get competitive off this mark at Fairyhouse subsequently.
|
Danny Gilligan | R O'Sullivan | 6 | 72.6 kg |

It's Never Simple (G)
[PT]
Made it 2 wins from previous 3 starts when capitalising on lower hurdles mark at Punchestown (heavy) in November last year. This is a better race, but he's not yet fully exposed and cannot be discounted if ready to roll.
|
Mark Walsh | M Brassil | 8 | 72.1 kg |

5/2

Bobbysingindablues (G)
Out of his depth in a strong novice at the Galway Festival when last seen in July and while this is more realistic, his opening mark does him no favours.
|
Mr O T Gilligan | P J Gilligan | 6 | 71.2 kg |

16/1

Free Flowing (G)
[B1]
Seemingly retains little ability following 26 months off and is unlikely to fare any better for the fitting of more severe headgear.
|
Michael Kenneally | N Lee | 10 | 71.2 kg |
15
14/1
|
| — | 9 | — |
Low Style (G)
[B]
Hit the frame in back-to-back handicaps at Navan/Fairyhouse before doing too much too soon in first-time blinkers last time, and he remains one to consider on previous form.
|
Sean Flanagan | B Connell | 9 | 70.8 kg |
13
12/1
|
| — | 10 | — |
Lady Bluebird (M)
[B1]
Continues to fall in the weights without looking like taking advantage, with blinkers now reached for, having fared no better in first-time cheekpieces at Navan in late-February.
|
Eoghan Finegan | H P Finegan | 9 | 68.9 kg |
15
14/1

| — | 11 | — |
Brave Crogha (G)
Remains with a standout (fair) effort over hurdles and no guarantee he fares any better for a marked step up in trip on his return.
|
Paddy Cleary | I Madden | 7 | 67.6 kg |

33/1

Johnny Cakes (G)
[P]
Hit-and-miss performer ran creditably when fifth of 12 in a handicap hurdle at Naas last time, though remains with just a solitary win to his name.
|
Tiernan Power Roche | P J Rothwell | 7 | 65.3 kg |

7/1
|
| — | 13 | — |
Lissen To The Lady (M)
[P]
Likely needed both her runs for new stable last month (having been off for over 2 years prior to that), and while she's fallen to a handy mark, she's far from a certainty to capitalise at 12 years old.
|
Miss J Walton | Patrick Cronin | 12 | 65.3 kg |
15
14/1

Without Exception (G)
[P]
Was better than the result in a couple of handicaps before failing to see out his race (upped further in trip) when fourth of 15 at Limerick (22.8f, heavy) last time.
|
Simon Torrens | P J Rothwell | 7 | 65.3 kg |
