Shantou Princess
Point-to-point winner showed promise in two bumpers in the spring; return to some sort of form when third in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last month; handicapper appears not to have taken many chances.

Moudan
A solid run at Gowran on second start in March but disappointing twice since; best watched on his first run since May.

Silent Flight
Won 2m4f handicap hurdle on heavy at Punchestown in January; back over flights after running in a handicap chase at Tramore; any rain that falls very much in his favour.

Handsworth
Much better chaser, last seen when running well in a Grade 3 handicap chase at Aintree 19 months ago; 28lb lower over hurdles but winless in this sphere; leading player if retaining his ability and fit enough.

Mahlers Cove
Consistent over hurdles and fences last spring until disappointing in a handicap chase at Limerick in May when last seen; likely to come on for whatever he does here.

Not Before Time
Three promising runs in maiden hurdle company but well beaten on her handicap debut at Fairyhouse last December but absent since; blinkers tried here; probably best watched.

Boston Bongo
Much improved on second handicap attempt, bad blunder two out costing him dearly when rallying second at Limerick in April having forced the pace; 4lb rise but looks well capable of handling that; major chance if forward enough.

Go Gill Go
Has not won since her sole success in 2021; good run when a close third in a Clonmel handicap hurdle in April when last seen; new headgear combination tried here and seems to handle any ground.

Irish Impulse
First-time hood and tongue-tie combination (retained here) worked when a surprise winner of a 2m5f handicap chase at Clonmel two weeks ago; back over flights here and the drop in trip looks like a negative but respected nonetheless.

Beaten miles all starts in bumpers and maidens; with a top yard now but best watched after 13 months off and considering his form.

Sceptred Isle
Poor hurdles form but much improved on the Flat this year, winning handicaps here and at Leopardstown and placed a few other times, going up no less than 31lb; absolutely chucked in here if able to run to anything like that form and the more rain the better.

13-race maiden; respectable efforts in a pair of handicap hurdles at Clonmel and Cork in the spring; possible each-way chance.
