Finest Evermore
Four-time winner for Willie Mullins but has struggled in two of her three starts for this yard; needs to improve massively on those poor runs.

Downpatrick bumper and Sligo maiden hurdle winner was running well when falling at Perth in September; can improve from Limerick return over Christmas and be a player.

Bumper and Flat maiden winner won a Navan maiden hurdle in November and ran a cracker behind a quality mare at Punchestown last time; should go well with a repeat.

Ad Caelum
Won a Thurles handicap in November and bounced back from a lesser Limerick handicap effort to win a novice event at that track three days later; an 8lb rise makes this tougher.

Both hurdle wins have come at Tramore but was pulled-up on chasing debut at that track last time; well beaten on last hurdle start too and has to bounce back.

Won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and Sligo beginners' chase in 2023; ran a decent race on return after an absence when fourth in a Fairyhouse handicap chase; should have improved from that and has a squeak.
