Black Soul (G)
Fair winning hurdler last year having landed a point. Out of sorts in handicap hurdles and well beaten back on the Flat 24 days ago for this yard. Hard to fancy on this switch to fences back up markedly in trip.

Drop A Threat (G)
FAV
[HT]
Fair hurdler who ran well again in a Cork handicap last month and should make a better chaser for top yard having won his sole start in points.

Faceman (G)
Fair hurdler who won a 3-runner novice here last summer. Returns from 169 days off and should make an impact over fences.

Gunnery Sergeant (G)
[PT]
Ex pointer who has been getting the hang of hurdling (tongue tied and no match for a useful prospect at Downpatrick latest) and quickly switches to chasing. Better to come.

Ira Hayes (G)
[V]
Winning hurdler and having always looked the type to make a chaser showed up well for a long way on his first go over fences in the Dublin National at Leopardstown last month (shaped like a non-stayer). Can do better down in trip.

Poet's Gale (G)
Hasn't cut much ice in bumpers/over hurdles. Steps up in trip for chase debut.

The Goose's Acre (G)
Modest maiden hurdler who struggled in the face of a stiff task on chase debut last week and this isn't any easier up in trip.

Warriors Wood (G)
Dual hurdles winner at up to 17f. Will need to leave that form behind now chasing back from 7 months off.

Jumping Susie (M)
[T]
Fairly useful winner over hurdles, including at this course over this trip. Hasn't scaled the same heights over fences this season and has left John McConnell since last seen at the turn of the year.

Won 2½m mares handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan a year ago. Yet to make an impact this season, including tried over fences at Wexford in October.

River Tara (M)
[T]
Bumper winner and fair form in maiden hurdles for Willie Mullins but raced just twice for new yard in handicaps last year, pulled up on both occasions (lost action latest). Plenty to prove now going chasing after another 8 months off.
