Jesse Evans (G)
[T]
Won this race last season prior to a fine second in the Galway Plate later in the summer. Resumed winning ways in convincing fashion in a 6--runner minor event chase (7/4) at Listowel (19f, good to soft) 31 days ago and is respected despit…

Bowensonfire (G)
[H]
Likeable type who found marked improvement to win big-field Leopardstown handicaps over Christmas and at the DRF. Mid-field from a career-high mark in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham subsequently and perhaps feeling the effects of a long s…

Daddy Long Legs (G)
FAV
[P]
Flattered when runner-up in the Irish Champion Hurdle last year but he's a smart sort and ran well to finish second in the Sussex Champion Hurdle last spring. Landed the odds in a Ballinrobe minor event in May and backed it up with a good …

King Of Kingsfield (G)
[PT]
Gained a third win over fences in Punchestown Grade 3 in October. Poor efforts since, including after a break in Aintree Grade 1 latest, but could bounce back returned to calmer waters over hurdles.

Run For Oscar (G)
[P]
Veteran who hasn't had too much racing over hurdles since winning a small-field event at Kilbeggan in August 2024 and it's probable there'll be other days in mind him for as he returns from 8 months off with cheekpieces reapplied over an i…

Barbizon (G)
[T]
Quickly reached useful level on the Flat for John Murphy and made a smooth transition to hurdling for Gordon Elliott when winning juvenile at Navan. Found out in graded races at Leopardstown after and was well beaten in the Fred Winter at …

Queenofthelodge (M)
[P1]
Fairly useful mare who won a handicap at Clonmel in October and posted a respectable fourth in a Killarney listed race against her own sex on return. Below expecations at Ballinrobe 37 days ago, though, and needs first-time cheekpieces to …
