En Or (G)
Showed useful form when 2nd of 17 in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last December and finished 10th of 16 in a Flat handicap at Leopardstown (33/1) 57 days ago, racing off the pace and making little impression. Returns to hurdles where previo…

Free Flow (G)
Won a maiden hurdle at Thurles (10/3) 275 days ago but finished 12th of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (12/1) 165 days ago, appearing too high in the weights. Mark may still be on the stiff side based on overall profile.

Fair performer with course and distance win who shaped better than result suggests when 7th of 12 in handicap chase (11/1) 45 days ago, not persevered with after trouble. First run for new trainer. Could be more competitive back over hurdl…

Club Manager (G)
[P]
Has shown fair form in handicap hurdles including two seconds in autumn, but finished eighth of 13 in a 20f handicap hurdle at Navan (7/1) 28 days ago. Without a win in 15 races, has potential to bounce back to better form over this shorte…

King Kali (G)
Placed second in handicap hurdle over 19f at this course, then won 1 of 15 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (8/1) 446 days ago when ridden closer to pace and asserting in final 100 yards. The lengthy absence is a concern but has shown abilit…

Party President (G)
[H]
Won twice over hurdles in spring including over C&D, but finished last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Navan (11/1) 28 days ago when never threatening. Hood back on could help on return to a successful track.

River Vale (G)
[T]
Won chase at Thurles (7/1) 46 days ago before well-beaten 10th of 24 in handicap hurdle at Cork (9/2 favourite) 8 days ago, finding run of good form coming to a halt. Back down in trip which could suit better.

Walk Away Harry (G)
Struggled in recent handicaps, finishing 10th of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (6/1) 214 days ago with a lacklustre display despite wearing headgear. Returns without tongue strap and cheekpieces, dropping back to 16f.

Hesgonethatway (G)
Gradually improved in three maiden hurdles, sixth of 16 at Gowran Park (300/1) 37 days ago showing more promise. Makes handicap debut and could have more to offer.

Ran well when second at this C&D 256 days ago and pulled up in 15-runner chase at Thurles (33/1) 18 days ago after 5-month break. Better over hurdles than fences.

Poor form except when fifth at Galway in October, then fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (11/2) 32 days ago. Difficult to fancy after 19 runs without a win.

Ballyredinkingston (G)
Has shown little over hurdles but previous bumper form suggests potential. Tenth of 18 in maiden hurdle at Clonmel (125/1) 13 days ago, weakening after taking keen hold. May improve on handicap debut back down in trip.
