Callmedusty
An 87-rated hurdler, only once in the first four; faces a daunting task on chase debut.

Chasing Chances
Placed in a point in 2022; weak form in three races over hurdles since October; unlikely to feature.

Da Big Fella
A 14-race maiden over fences; has occasionally run well off a low handicap mark; no apparent chance against some of these on level terms.

Danny The Fence
Stayed well when winning a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in 2023; struggled in three handicap chase outings last season, possibly flattered by his current 93 rating on that evidence; stablemate Mighty Oak Lad looks superior.

Glady Max
Two point-to-point wins last season; finished a remote second in 3m maiden hunter chase at this venue last April; fair fourth in a handicap hurdle at Tramore later that month; jumps well and could feature in this modest grade.

Jay Pee M
Placed three times over hurdles in the second half of last season, showing a liking for 2m and heavy ground; odds-on for a maiden point at Boulta, looked in command with a five-length advantage when falling at the last; interesting in this company.

John The Diva
Rated 96 over hurdles; won 2m5f Thurles maiden last March on heavy; well held later that month in a handicap; jumped well until making a tired error at the last at Tramore in November, weakening into third behind Jouster who followed up over hurdles; strong contender with that run under his belt.

Mighty Oak Lad
Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last season by a big margin, going up 16lb to 101 as a consequence; two placed efforts in handicap chases at Navan suggest he could go close in this company.

Natural Breeze
Won a 2m6f Tramore handicap hurdle last April, and chased home a clear winner in 2m6f handicap chase at the same venue in August; appears well held by John The Diva based on his most recent Tramore visit.

On Your Way
Twice placed in maiden hurdles; recent handicap form raises doubts; out of the money when favourite for 2m Limerick contest three weeks ago; no chasing experience, but not one to discount in a race like this.

Off the mark over hurdles at sixth attempt when making all in a 2m5f Sligo handicap in October; has a bit to find with John The Diva on running in a beginners' chase at Tramore; cheekpieces on now.

Placed in two of five point-to-points starts; did well when second to the subsequent Punchestown cross-country winner Knockiel Synge on final start; ordinary form over hurdles, pulled up in a Tramore handicap last time.

Placed in a point; won a weak maiden hurdle on heavy at Clonmel last season; in rear when fell at seventh on chase debut at Clonmel last June; hard to fancy after a poor handicap hurdle run at this venue five weeks ago.
