Toor Khov (G)
Finished fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (28/1) 40 days ago, showing benefit of recent run despite carrying head awkwardly in closing stages. Merits consideration eased in grade.

Paul Collins (G)
Second at Kilbeggan and a win at Galway (7/1) 47 days ago. Finished 11th of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (11/2) 29 days ago, found out in better company than when winning previously and merely passed beaten horses. Should be more compet…

Sir Bob (G)
[P]
Veteran 3-time course winner (all on soft/heavy), latest over C&D in March last year. Pulled up over fences in May but yard have an excellent strike-rate of late and he's not totally dismissed returning to hurdles in a change of headgear.

Midnight Our Fred (G)

Useful performer over fences. Pulled up in Kim Muir handicap chase at Cheltenham (8/1) latest in March. Races off a significantly lower mark over hurdles and one to note if supported on return.

Oneforgonzo (G)
Sixth of 17 in maiden chase at Gowran Park (20/1) 15 days ago, making no impact, previously 4th of 20 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (33/1) and should be more competitive back over hurdles.

West Cork Wildway (G)
Winless in 16 starts since November 2021, finished 7th of 15 in hurdle handicap at Cork (9/1) 21 days ago failing to build on previous promise. Others more persuasive.

Long Branch (G)
Showed plenty to work with in maiden hurdles, finishing fifth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Wexford (22/1) 28 days ago, plugging on after being outpaced. Should appreciate this significant step up in trip on handicap debut and could improve.

Cullig (M)

Won at this course and distance in March and twice finished second in April handicap hurdles. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse over 24.5f (11/1) just 2 days ago and has something to prove now.

Edge Of Darkness (G)
Showed no promise when 10th of 15 in maiden hurdle at Galway (50/1) 29 days ago and is easy to look elsewhere.

He's Home Again (G)
Won at this C&D in March 2024 and was fifth of 20 in handicap here (22/1) 217 days ago, making headway but effort flattened out. Claims if he can build on that.

Rocky's Howya (G)
Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. Supported but below form fifteenth of 24 in St James's Palace hunter chase at Cheltenham (26.3f, good to soft, 11/1) 254 days ago. Market should guide on first hurdle start since 2021.

Ballyglass Beauty (G)
Matched best form from this season when bouncing back to finish second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (11/2) 35 days ago, keeping on well behind an unexposed rival. Remains on a handy mark and may go one better here.

Rajsalad (G)
Showed ability returning from over 2 years off when falling in February but pulled up at Fairyhouse (33/1) 274 days ago when struggling 4 out. Off a career-low mark but will need to overcome another absence.
