Something Noble (G)
Made it 2 wins from 3 starts over hurdles when winning a 13-runner handicap at Limerick (2m, heavy, 25/1) 27 days ago, suited by way race developed. More on his plate here off 6 lb higher.

Galavanting George (G)
FAV
Good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy, 15/2) 42 days ago. Still early days for this 5-y-o and he's a must for the shortlist.

Take Stock (G)
Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¾m, soft, 7/1) 20 days ago, finding test too much. This drop back in trip is a good move and, though Galavanting George appears to be the stable No 1, he should make his presence …

Dairy Force (G)

Departed early on when favourite for a handicap hurdle at Down Royal (2½m, good to soft, 9/4) 6 days ago. Others look more solid.

High Notions (M)
[H1]
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Below par tenth of 19 in a handicap at Down Royal (20.4f, good to soft, 18/1) 32 days ago. Now tried in a hood.

Syracus Du Houx (G)
[B1T]
Seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft, 16/1) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Blinkers enlisted/tongue strap refitted now back hurdling and he's probably worth taking on.

Phillip Enright | O McKiernan | 8 | 70.3 kg |

Tsavo Park (G)

Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, heavy, 17/2) 32 days ago and looks set for another struggle back over hurdles.

Jaynemax (G)
Shade below par when ninth of 20 in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft, 18/1) 13 days ago. Wasn't knocked about on that occasion but he's opposable all the same.

Couldntmakeitup (G)
[P1T]
Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (2¾m, good to soft, 18/1) 6 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that tame effort but he was third off 4 lb higher at Punchestown in January and will have a chance if responding well to the new h…

Kinturk Nelson (G)
Wasn't at his best when seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, heavy, 6/1) 56 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Marlpark (G)
Runner-up at Clonmel last month but could finish only eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at the same course (2m, soft) 16 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Mon Sheriffe (G)
Equipped with a first-time hood when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy) 42 days ago. Goes without the headgear here.

Blue Reed (G)
[PT]
Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (2¼m, soft, 11/2) 20 days ago. Had the run of things that day but it was still a decent effort and, though his record now stands at 0-26, he's one to consider.
