Royal Soldier (G)
Left previous hurdling efforts well behind when winning 11-runner handicap at Gowran and had just hit the front when taking a heavy fall at the last at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) 35 days ago. Leading player if none the worse back down in trip.

Le Roi Du Livet (G)
Easily his best effort over hurdles came when third in Naas maiden in January. Not in same form last 2 starts but possible he'll get back on track now handicapping.

Blue Train (G)
[H]
Fair Flat winner who was well backed and showed much improved form to make a winning handicap debut in a 13-runner event at Clonmel (2m, soft, 5/2) 38 days ago. Up 10 lb but his speed should stand him in good stead here and he's capable of…

Moon Mission (G)
Positive start in handicaps when third at Punchestown (21f, heavy) in January but failed to replicate that when mid-field in a similarly big-field handicap over further there last week.

Thisain'tthat (G)
Shaped well switched to a handicap when second in a 9-runner race at Clonmel (2½m, good to soft) 26 days ago, coming from further back than the others in the frame. Drop back in trip not an obvious positive but he's respected nonetheless.

Big Dispute (G)
FAV
Went close in a Kilbeggan maiden last May before making the placings in similar events here and at Clonmel in the autumn. Made solid enough start for this yard (formerly with Con McSweeney) on the Flat here last month and worth betting che…

Crohan Lady (M)
[PT]
Left previous form behind sent handicapping when third of 17 at Thurles in February, her final outing for John Gerard Lonergan. Low-key on first 2 runs for current yard but improved with cheekpieces applied to land a 12-runner novice at Tr…

Shirzan (F)
Mid-field in a Leopardstown juvenile over Christmas prior to finishing third in a bumper there in March. Off the mark back hurdling in a juvenile event at Limerick (2m, soft) 40 days ago, seeming well suited by the emphasis on speed, but n…
