Resumes after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign with a 11th in a novice hurdle (4123m) at Tipperary, beaten 54 lengths. Others appear better placed.

Has failed to make an impact recently, last time out beaten 33 lengths when tenth over 4023m in a hurdle at Fairyhouse. Needs to do a lot more.

Returned from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (3218m) at Clonmel, finishing eighth when partnered by today's rider Eoin G Kelly. Strips fitter and pay to follow up.

Finished 11th when fresh from a spell last start in a hurdle (4023m) at Punchestown, with today's rider Mr D M Fitzgerald piloting. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.

Was unplaced the start before last in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Clonmel then could only manage fifth most recently in a hurdle (3218m) at Naas. Can do a lot better.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a hurdle (4626m) at Punchestown then again missed out in a hurdle (3822m) at Clonmel last time. All set to reverse the recent form.

Has been in the money plenty of times but remains a maiden after four career runs. Last time out was sixth in a maiden hurdle (3721m) at Naas. Rates well on best form and comes into calculations.

Finished fifth the start before last in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Limerick then could only manage 13th most recently in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Clonmel. This looks too tough.

Was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 21 lengths into tenth in a hurdle (3218m) at Leopardstown. Key runner - don't underestimate.

Resumed after a 133-day spell last start with a moderate 14th on the flat at Punchestown over 3218m, beaten 77 lengths. Well placed and appeals as an each-way chance.

Returns from a spell and looks ready for a bright campaign. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a hurdle (3419m) at Down Royal. Key runner while fresh.

Safely held in recent outings, the latest in a maiden hurdle (3822m) at Clonmel. Happy to risk here.

Returns from a spell. Last went to the races two months ago when he did not complete the course in a hurdle (4023m) at Fairyhouse. Confidence may have taken a hit.

Hasn't fired a shot in five runs this time in, the latest when 12th in a hurdle at Leopardstown. Struggling to recapture his best form of late and appears tested in this line up.

Has returned in fair form. Placed when resuming two starts back in a hurdle (3218m) at Clonmel then was beaten 15 lengths into 12th in a hurdle (3218m) at Clonmel nearly three weeks ago. Will be thereabouts.

Opened the campaign with a solid second in a hurdle (3218m) at Naas then last start was outside the top-three in a steeplechase (3218m) at Thurles two months ago. Hard to beat.

Doesn't look likely in this after being well held at long odds in last two. Doing little of late. Not keen.

Finished fourth two runs back in a hurdle (3218m) at Gowran Park then he did not complete the course in a hurdle (3822m) at Clonmel last time out. In the mix if he is anywhere near right.

Unwanted in betting last few and has run accordingly. Struggling for form and happy to risk again.

Seven-year-old who has been safely held at big odds lately. Looks to be making up the numbers in this field.

Couldn't find the top three two back in a maiden hurdle (3419m) at Clonmel then again missed out in a maiden hurdle (4023m) at Thurles last time. Won't find this easy.

Returned from a break two weeks ago in a hurdle (3118m) at Thurles when he failed to finish the race. Won't find this easy.

Returned from a spell last start in a hurdle (3218m) at Gowran Park when he failed to complete the course. Looks very hard to beat.
