Stay In The Game (G)
Yet to open his account after 14 starts and was tailed off on handicap hurdle debut at Clonmel (66/1) 32 days ago, left behind after 3 out.

Alan O'Sullivan | J J Hanlon | 5 | 75.7 kg |

| 7th | 2 | — |
Small Bucks (M)
[HT1]
Won a handicap hurdle at Cork last July but has struggled since, pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in March when taking a strong hold and dropping away quickly 2 out. Tongue tie tried now.

Eoghan Finegan | P E Collins | 5 | 75.3 kg |

| 3rd | 3 | — |
Grey Gardens (G)
Well held at Navan in December but better judged on previous form now going handicapping after a break and suspect he can do better.
|
Philip Donovan | P Nolan | 5 | 74.8 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 10th | 4 | — |
Portetta (M)
Maiden hurdler pulled up on handicap debut at Limerick (28/1) last December. Improvement needed.

Elizabeth Gale | J J Hanlon | 5 | 73.5 kg |

| 14th | 5 | — |
Truckers Cruising (G)
[T]
Won impressively over fences at Ayr last December but failed to build on it, sixth of 14 in a handicap chase at Limerick (18/1) latest. Potentially well treated back over hurdles after 129 days off.
|
Kevin Healy | G Elliott | 8 | 73 kg |

| 2nd | 6 | — |
Justicialism (G)
[PT]
Second of 11 in a handicap hurdle here 22 days ago, stepping up markedly from his first start for the yard. On a long losing run but is a big player if building on that down in trip.
|
Carl Millar | N C Kelly | 8 | 72.6 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 13th | 7 | — |
Leitzel (M)
Without a win in 20 starts and well held in handicap at this course (66/1) 48 days ago on debut for current trainer after 8 months off. Looks up against it.
|
Eoin Walsh | S McParlan | 6 | 72.6 kg |

| 11th | 8 | — |
Soldier Saint (G)
FAV
Runner-up in a bumper for Nicky Henderson last March but well beaten in maiden hurdles and again in a Fairyhouse handicap (100/1) last December. First run for another new trainer.

Shane O'Callaghan | Mark E McCrory | 6 | 72.6 kg |

Gforcejenny (F)
[T]
Fair maiden on the Flat and some encouragement in juvenile hurdles last year. Off 212 days and makes handicap debut. Watch the betting.

Kieren Buckley | G P Cromwell | 4 | 72.1 kg |

| 15th | 10 | — |
Harley Street (G)
[PT]
Yet to win over jumps and fell here over fences in January but has fallen to a tempting mark on the pick of his form. Returns to hurdles with cheekpieces back on.
|
James Smith | Ian Donoghue | 7 | 72.1 kg |
12
11/1

| 18th | 11 | — |
Is She Now (M)
Maiden in various disciplines and has been out of sorts. Lightly raced in handicap hurdles but may need more of a test than this will provide.
|
Niall Moore | V C Ward | 8 | 70.3 kg |

Tellmemamema (M)
Bred to need time and distance and has finished down the field in 3 maiden hurdles.

| 12th | 13 | — |
Lejolicoeur Du Mou (G)
[P1]
Better efforts in 17f handicaps the last twice (well backed when seventh of 22 at Cork latest). Now goes in cheekpieces and might want a stiffer test.
|
Ben Harvey | J P Dempsey | 5 | 68 kg |

Michael's Jet (G)
No form in maidens/handicap hurdle.

Powerful Rosie (F)
Maiden who fared better than previously over hurdles tackling a handicap for the first time when sixth of 16 at Clonmel 32 days ago. More needed still.
|
Mike O'Connor | Liz Doyle | 4 | 67.6 kg |

| 6th | 16 | — |
Crypto Crash (G)
Yet to win under either code and pulled up on handicap hurdle debut at Clonmel (40/1) in January. Back after a 116-day absence and hard to fancy.
|
John Shinnick | D Budds | 5 | 67.1 kg |

| 1st | 17 | — |
Bella Union (G)
[P]
Finally opened his account when taking a 16-runner handicap at Bellewstown 16 days ago. Raised 5 lb and no banker to back that up.

Dylan Kidd | J C McConnell | 10 | 66.7 kg |

8/1

| 16th | 18 | — |
Move It On Over (G)
Offered more than previously when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in August but another who probably wants a greater test of stamina.
|
Gavin Brouder | John F O'Neill | 5 | 66.2 kg |
34
33/1
|
| 17th | 19 | — |
Chesterbaylad (G)
Fifth in this last year off 18 lb higher but that is very much a standout effort over hurdles.

Harry Sexton | Ms H P Markham | 5 | 64.9 kg |

Tea It Is (G)
[PT]
Never won in 21 starts and has been expensive to follow. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork 28 days ago on first run after 6 months off, hit fifth and lost place quickly.

Ethan O'Sullivan | D Hogan | 9 | 63.5 kg |

Light Her Up (M)
Maiden well held again in Fairyhouse handicap when last seen in December and needs more to figure back in trip. RESERVE.
