Nas Na Riogh (G)
[P]
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser but has a patchy record, below form when last seen in November. Cheekpieces back on for return and probably vulnerable.

Torquay Road (G)
FAV
Back-to-back winner over hurdles earlier this season and improved when third in maiden at Down Royal on chase bow on Boxing Day. Heavy ground a possible excuse at Fairyhouse since.

Icare D'aubrelle (G)
[H]
Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles. Fared better than previously over fences when fourth of 9 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19f, soft) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. May do better on handicap chase debut.

In The Trenches (G)
[P]
Long-standing maiden. Eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Navan (2m) 113 days ago. That was a rare below-par effort though so no surprise to see him bounce back after a break.

Kotkito Bello (G)
[P]
Typically made running/jumped fluently to land a hat-trick in 2m handicap hurdle at Thurles in December (also made winning start over fences there in October). Did too much too soon when pulled up in 2m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last t…

Splashing Out (M)
[P]
Fairly useful over hurdles at best but only eighth in 17.8f handicap at Downpatrick 21 days ago having also been disappointing over fences following victory at Downpatrick in October.

| 3rd | 7 | — |
Soldante (G)
Not disgraced on his first run for 14 months when a fading fourth of 8 in novice chase at Clonmel (2m, heavy) on debut over fences 24 days ago. This fairly useful winning hurdler can build on it on his handicap chase debut.

A Snow White Park (M)
A 2m novice hurdles winner on debut at Ballinrobe in May but has gone wrong way since and she has plenty to prove now going chasing.

Kilbrin Rocco (G)
[T]
Improved when winning 2m handicap chase at Clonmel in January but well below that form at Thurles and Limerick since. More needed.

Marelly (G)
[B]
Ended long losing run over hurdles at Gowran in January. First run over fences since 2024 when a good second of 6 at Limerick handicap 19 days ago. Up 2 lb but can go well again.
