Jazz Forever (G)
Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles, who was readily brushed aside in a novice at Down Royal in January and went with very little encouragement tackling 2m on the Flat last month. Jack Kennedy being booked is a notable positive, but improve…

Laxxio (G)
Although a 3-time Flat winner in Germany, she has not yet reproduced that level over hurdles despite being placed twice in similar races at Punchestown in January. Disappointing when tried over further in a handicap hurdle last time and mu…

Maxwell Smart (G)
Produced his best effort over hurdles when third of 15 Jony R in maiden at Down Royal in November. He has not matched it in 2 subsequent starts, including when unseating around halfway on his handicap debut last time, but he is a player if…

Following Orders (G)
Career-best effort when second in a big-field Roscommon novice in August, but below that level in two runs since, including when well held at Downpatrick last time. Returns from 7 months off.

Glenrush Bay (G)
FAV
[H]
Has improved with each run over hurdles, though took form up several notches when 5½ lengths fourth of 7 to Tatateo in novice at Cork 105 days ago. Another step forward would see her very much in the mix.

Grandy Lane (G)
[T]
Runner-up in a Sligo maiden hurdle for Ian Patrick Donoghue and also second in a bumper at Clonmel on his first 2 starts, but his progress has since stalled over what looks an inadequate 2m. The market may prove the best guide.

Jury Foreman (G)
Made the frame twice in maidens before struggling in a handicap at Leopardstown last time. Back down in trip and has plenty to find.

Microscope (G)
Hasn't shown a great deal in points or under Rules. May do better once tackling handicaps but makes very little appeal in this company.

Speedy Box (G)
Has failed to complete on 2 of his 4 starts in maiden hurdles, yet shown a fair amount of encouragement all the same. Failed to make an impact on chasing debut last month, but there should be more to come from him in this sphere if his jum…

Sticktothescript (G)
[B1]
Ran to a fair level when 7½ lengths fourth of 14 to Shabby Hill in maiden hurdle at Punchestown in January at Punchestown in January. Below that level when filling the same position in similar events at Naas and Navan both outings since.…

Tippawan Haa (G)
Showed improved form when 2 lengths second of 14 to William Tell in conditional jockeys race at Cork in August, but broke a blood vessel when failing to back that up at Ballinrobe next time. Returns from 7-month absence.

Zuzukel (G)
[TH]
Remains a maiden after 8 starts over hurdles but sets a clear standard on his short-head second of 8 to Powerful in handicap at Punchestown in November. Was running below that level when falling at Down Royal last time, but this represents…

Daisy Fingall (M)
Left previous hurdling efforts well behind when 2 lengths second of 12 to Royal Belief in maiden at Limerick last month. She's open to further progress.

Two Pair (M)
Made an encouraging return from 7 months off when runner-up to the fairly useful Carry On Heidi on his hurdling debut, but has not built on that effort in 2 subsequent starts. Drops back to 2m over hurdles for the first time, and the yard …

Jr Mahon (G)
[P]
Fair maiden on the Flat but has yet to match that effort in a handful of starts in juvenile hurdles and is probably one for handicaps later on. Cheekpieces back on.

Kasper Hauser (G)
Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs and not really kicked on since hitting the frame on his first 3 outings. Reverts to maiden company after failing to make a significant impact in handicaps the last twice.

Double Power (G)

No better than mid-field in a trio of maiden hurdles and looks like one to do better in handicaps. RESERVE.

Liceo (G)
[P1T1]
Standout effort over hurdles when 9¾ lengths fourth of 20 to Leave In Secret in handicap at Galway in September. Reverts to this sphere after spin on the Flat, but will to improve to figure. RESERVE.

Chanceawetmorning (G)
Ran his best race when second behind a lightly-raced one in a 16-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) in January, but failed to justify strong support last time. Needs to bounce back. RESERVE.
