General Clermont (G)
Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 and only sixth of 9 in 19f handicap chase at this track when last seen out 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running but can.

Glitz And Glamour (M)
Made it third time lucky over hurdles at Sligo in August and made an encouraging enough start over fences when third of 6 at Killarney in October. Tailed off at this track (19f, heavy) a fortnight later though but could step up on return/h…

Golden Temple (G)
[T]
Fairly useful winner at 2m on Flat and up to 21f over hurdles but little encouragement to glean from his 3 chase efforts. Tongue tie back on for return/handicap chase debut.

Temptationinmilan (G)
[B1]
Fairly useful chaser at best but out of sorts all 3 starts in hunters this year under Rules, having no chance at the weights at Punchestown earlier in the month. First-time blinkers on.

The Dara Man (G)
11-y-o who has plenty to prove on the back of his last 2 efforts, seeming amiss when last seen at Thurles in December.

Doyen Magic (M)
FAV
Scored over hurdles here in November and arrives in good nick, second of 8 in handicap chase at this track 10 weeks ago. Considered stepping back up in trip.

Toon Town (G)
[P]
Ran at least as well as on stable debut over hurdles when third of 14 in handicap chase at Killarney (2½m, good to soft) 10 days ago, probably left with bit too much to do. Every chance he can make amends here.

One Way Traffic (G)
[T]
Little form over hurdles/fences, last seen tailed off at Cork in November. Back chasing for his return but looks an easy swerve.

Springboard (G)
FAV
Stepped up markedly on his comeback run to win 14-runner handicap hurdle at this track (2m, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Longer trip should pose no problems and he's one to consider on chase debut.

Carlas Big Jim (G)
On long losing run but was in the process of running well when fell in handicap hurdle at this track (19f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Back chasing but others more appealing for win purposes from out of the weights.

Back The West (G)
[VT]
Long-standing maiden hurdler/chaser that has made little impact in recent seasons, including at Cork in a first-time visor after 7 months off recently. Readily passed over from well out of the weights.
