Arcland (G)
Enhanced his good course record (runner-up in this race 12 months ago) when successful on his latest hurdle start here in September and is likely to be in the mix again following a recent pipe-opener on the Flat.

Seskin Flash (G)
Ran out a ready winner on his latest hurdle start here this time last year before following up over fences at this course in October. Solid form in handicap chases subsequently and looks potentially well treated reverted to hurdling.

Tell Us This (G)
[T]
Capitalised on a drop in grade back over hurdles when comfortably winning a 7-runner claimer at Tramore (2m) on final start for Gavin Cromwell. Has a good record here and needs considering back in a handicap on first start for new connecti…

I'll Be Handy (G)
Maiden who finished runner-up in a pair of juvenile hurdles before doing all he could when a well-held fourth of 6 in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse last November. Handicapper hasn't taken any chance with his opening mark, though.

Bruant (G)
Landed his sole previous hurdle success at this track last June but no impact in a pair of handicaps subsequently. However, he shouldn't lack for fitness following a couple of spins on the Flat last month.

Microscope (G)
Steadily improved in maidens, finishing fourth of 14 at Kilbeggan last time, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him take another step forward on handicap debut under a good-value conditional.

Sea Of Doubt (M)

[T]
Back to her best when making a winning return over hurdles in a mares handicap here 2 weeks ago, seeing out her race better than has often been the case, and she should go well again despite a 7 lb rise.

Annie Agnew (M)
Low-mileage 6-y-o notched her sole success at this course, and having been off for 6 months prior to her latest fourth of 6 at Ayr, she's entitled to be closer to form here.

Aboras Mahler (M)

Left behind previous efforts when runner-up in a course maiden on stable debut last time but her opening mark has suffered as a result.

The Dancen Kid (G)

Got back on the up when third in an 18-runner handicap at Leopardstown (2¼m) in March. Hasn't been in the same form in 2 starts since, though.
