Tomas O Maille (G)
[T]
Out of sorts when last seen, including when tenth of 15 in a handicap chase at Thurles (16/1) in November. Been given a big chance in the weights back over hurdles on return.

Ilbdare (G)
[T]
Best 2 efforts last season came here, successful in the staying handicap hurdle on this card and second in October. Good course form bodes well but he might need this after 4 months off.

Phillip Enright | M M McNiff | 6 | 75.7 kg |

Ladiam (M)
[T]
Several fine efforts after scoring here in June (both wins have been at this track) and returns on a workable mark with good-value conditional booked.

Lady's Choice (M)

Dunany Point (G)
FAV
[P]
Hasn't returned in much form but did well with the cheekpieces on/positive tactics employed under this rider in handicaps last summer/autumn and worth a look with the headgear refitted now.

Friar Hogan (G)
Shown little in 4 starts, never dangerous on handicap debut at Thurles in October. Back up in trip on return.

Button Rock (G)
[B1]
Lightly-raced maiden who ran no sort of race on handicap debut at Down Royal in March and off again since. First-time blinkers applied and remains with potential.

Sam Ewing | G Elliott | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Mother Ship (M)
[P]
Maiden hurdler (0-17 in this sphere) but very much caught the eye at Thurles when last seen, keeping on from 3 out under considerate handling. Interesting on return.

Darragh O'Keeffe | J J Hanlon | 6 | 70.3 kg |

| 1st | 9 | — |
The Eggler (G)
Standout effort when fifth of 19 on handicap debut at Galway (3m) in a first-time hood last September. Headgear left off on return and probably best watched.

James Smith | B McMahon | 5 | 69.9 kg |

| 4th | 10 | — |
Island Mccoo (G)
[T]
Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests back in a tongue tie in Thurles handicap chase in February and on a career-low mark back from a break.

Niall Moore | D Duggan | 9 | 69.4 kg |

Lariat (G)

Sunrise Strider (G)
[H]
Showed first form when sixth in 2m Limerick handicap hurdle over Christmas but didn't build on it next time at Punchestown and back from 4 months off now.

Golden Order (M)
[H1T1]
Has shown nothing in bumpers/maiden hurdles. First-time hood and tongue strap for handicap debut after a break but hard to recommend.

Better than he could show under a change of tactics back down in trip at Limerick (2m) recently (took strong hold, never landed a blow). Can do better in handicaps. RESERVE.
