Gwan Tadhg (G)
Three-time hurdle winner who was better than ever returned to less testing conditions when third on reappearance at Tramore (solid form) last season. Not in same form on final start for E. J. O'Grady but goes well fresh and looks interesti…

King Kali (G)
Better than ever when winning at Listowel (18f, soft) last season and shaped as if retaining all of his ability following 15 months off when creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, heavy, 12/1) 12 days ago. Player if he ca…

Trebizond (G)
Won a seller/handicap at Perth in 2023 and finished respectable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, soft, 40/1) on final for R. Mike Smith in August of that year. Market can guide on reappearance/stable debut.

Peaceinthevalley (G)
Promising fifth in a fairly useful Naas maiden on debut in February. Looks to have been brought along gradually since and makes plenty of appeal now sent handicapping by top yard.

Metamorpheus (G)
On long losing run and looked to being having a pipe-opener when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 25/1) 13 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can get back on track on second run for new trainer.

Is Charlie Around (G)

[T1]
Progressive in soft/heavy ground maidens last season. Step back in right direction following couple of lesser efforts when seventh of 24 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 20 days ago, left with lot to do. Can be competitive if buildin…

Wardens Whisper (G)
[P]
Made all to win a Cork novice handicap (soft) last season and has returned in good form, jumping better than previously under typical front-running ride when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (15.9f, soft) 34 days ago. Could be well-p…

Big Dee (G)
[H]
Useful bumper winner in 2023. Clearly hasn't been easiest to train, not unduly punished when 80/1, tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (15.9f, soft) 34 days ago, having hopeless task from position. May have more to offer now handicapping …

Rackemandstackem (G)
Given a considerate introduction and has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind (beaten at long odds previous 2 starts). Well worth a market check on handicap debut.

Fighting Falcon (G)
Appears to have been campaigned with handicaps in mind. Off for nearly a year prior to latest run, 80/1, ninth of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and may have more to offer.

Marelly (G)
[P]
On a long losing run (last win came on sole C&D start in 2022) but that's reflected in his mark. Shaped better than result at Naas last time, unable to sustain effort having made ground out wide. Better expected returning to this C&D.

Blue Reed (G)
[PT]
Long-standing maiden turned in his best effort of the season when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, heavy) 36 days ago. Should remain competitive back down in trip with cheekpieces refitted.

The Sugarhill Lady (M)
[T]
Yet to build on promise shown in maiden hurdles and was unable to justify support when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago. Interesting to see if the money comes again.

Bounced back to form when good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, good) but unable to back that up faced with more testing conditions when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago. Didn't look t…
