Olympic Man (G)
Useful hurdler at best. Regressed as a chaser but showed he retains ability in 2 starts on the Flat this autumn. However, was well held back hurdling in handicap at Punchestown (24.2f, soft) 5 weeks ago, so others are more persuasive.

Daily Present (G)
[BT]
Confirmed the promise of first 2 starts last season when landing Kim Muir Chase at Cheltenham in March. Wasn't in the same form when pulled up in Irish Grand National the following month, though, and may just be sharper for this run return…

Jordans (G)
[H]
Developed into a smart chaser last season, runner-up in Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree final outing. Left poorly placed on return when eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft), so he remains capable of better from his…

Millstream Lady (M)
Has returned better than ever, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing listed mares race at Limerick in October. Again ran well when runner-up in handicap at Punchestown (24.2f, soft) 5 weeks ago (winner has scored again since) and she…

Desertmore House (G)
[T]
Took well to the cross-country discipline when second in La Touche Cup at Punchestown (33f) in May and, following a point success, scored comfortably in 15-runner cross-country race back at Punchestown (24.4f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Could go w…

Son Of Anarchy (G)
After 4 months off, showed much improved form when making a winning handicap debut in 13-runner event at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) last month. Open to further progress now that he's up and running, so he's a major player back up in trip.

Sysko (G)
Confirmed hurdling debut promise when scoring at Punchestown in June and got back on the up when second on handicap debut at Listowel in September. Again shaped well when fourth of 14 in listed handicap at Naas (20f, heavy) last time and h…

Eclipse Chaser (G)

Looked good prospect on second start over hurdles when winning a Navan maiden in September. Failed to improve when fourth of 7 in Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at same course (20f, heavy) 6 weeks ago, but he still has potential upped in trip …

Timeless Treaty (G)
Successful first 2 outings starting off over hurdles but hasn't kicked on since, though shaped better than result following a bad mistake 3 out when fifth of 20 in handicap at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) last month. Could yet do better upped …

Duke Silver (G)
Doubled his tally in a Listowel handicap in September, ridden more positively, but followed that with one of season's lesser efforts when well held at Punchestown (23.1f, good to soft) 20 days later. Needs to get back on the up.

[P]
With recent run behind him, returned to his best when runner-up in Troytown Handicap Chase at Navan (24f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. Had only the 3 runs over hurdles in 2022/23 and he's potentially well treated off much lower mark back in this sp…

Colonia Victoria (M)
Useful stayer on Flat in Germany in 2023 and promising start over hurdles for current yard, winning at the second attempt at Cork in April. Good second in novice at Wexford in October, but will need to bounce back from a lesser effort in h…

Promontory (G)
Relished the step up in trip when winning maiden at Limerick (24f) in April. However, returned lame in handicap next time and well held when seventh of 10 in novice at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) on seasonal/chase debut in October. Others…

Savante (M)
[T1]
Fairly useful form over hurdles, though without a win since debut in this sphere last season. Below that level tried chasing the last twice, fifth of 15 in maiden at Cork (21.2f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Tongue strap now applied back hurdling.

Resumed progress/winning ways upped further in trip in novice at Wexford (24.5f) in April. Looked rusty on return, but in first-time tongue strap she failed to come on for that run when seventh of 19 in handicap at Navan (21f, heavy) 6 wee…

Intent Approach (G)
Justified support when opening account in handicap at Down Royal (22f) in April last year. Following an 18-month absence, offered encouragement first 2 starts this season, before a below-par effort at Punchestown (24.2, soft) last time. He…

Improved form when getting off the mark in handicap at Fairyhouse (20f) last season. Ran well 2 of next 3 starts, before shaping as if needing the run after 7 months off when twelfth of 20 at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Hood back…

Small Town Hero (G)
[PT]
Landed a hat-trick over hurdles this summer before capitalising on lower chase mark at Downpatrick in October. Winning run ended next time, but returned to hurdling he added to his tally at Haydock (24.3f, good) 25 days ago. Can make anoth…

Heliko Conti (G)
It's now 19 runs since last win in 2023 and has been stuggling for form back over hurdles this season, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (20f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it.
