He Fitz In
2-10 hurdles, 1-11 chase; has been running well enough off his lower hurdles mark to suggest he can reach the money; last season's handicap chase win was achieved with today's rider, as was a 33-1 hurdle win in 2022.

A Great Buzz
Best run over hurdles when third in a 20-runner handicap over 2m4f at Cork last March; not looking likely to make an impact when unseating three out in a 2m6f handicap at Galway seven weeks ago on her chasing debut; jumped poorly in 2m contest last time; hard to be confident but this trip may suit if she can avoid error.

Chosen Shant
0-23 over hurdles for Ciaran Murphy; remote fifth behind the progressive Hillsdale on chase/stable debut at Naas a month ago; had been off since the summer and may improve.

On The Tide
Minor early promise in bumpers/hurdles but has not shown much over fences, or in points in the autumn campaign; moderate sixth at Down Royal last month; considerable improvement needed.

Cullenwaine
Won 2m6f hurdle at Downpatrick last summer; off the mark over fences when well-backed winner at Thurles (3m1f) four weeks ago; could still be well treated but soft going is a worry.

One Horse Army
Chase form is undistinguished but could be given a chance on his best hurdles form, namely a third placing in a 21-runner handicap at Punchestown two years ago.

Tangental
Two wins over hurdles; yet to prove he can achieve a similar standard over fences and has been expensive to follow; beaten favourite over hurdles three times two seasons ago, same status in three of his five runs over fences in 2024; 3l behind Starlight Cato (fourth) at Tramore in November.

Rose Of Kalanisi
Point-to-point winner in 2022; no obvious merit in her racecourse form in recent seasons.

Starlight Cato
Finished second at 20-1 in this race last year, with Tangental back in fourth; closely matched with Tangental on Tramore running in November; less encouraging run at Limerick last month; perhaps first-time blinkers will help.
