Ney
In fine form over fences early this year with back-to-back soft-ground wins at Punchestown (2m6f) and Fairyhouse novice chase (3m2f); took fifth over hurdles on seasonal return at Fairyhouse before taking the same position back over fences at Cork (2m5f, yielding) latest; finished behind Battle Of Mirbat and Whateys Quest last time, so needs more off 2lb lower.

Bridie's Beau
Dual hurdles winner came good over fences on handicap bow at Clonmel in a novice contest last time (2m2f, heavy); comfortably beat a fancied De Bromhead contender that day; up 9lb but should be in the mix.

Sole win from 19 runs came in a Listed novice handicap chase over C&D in March off 114; again ran well when third in a novice handicap over a slightly longer trip than this here in February; out of form in three runs since return from a summer break, including over 3m on heavy ground here last time when 20l behind.

Battle Of Mirbat
Added his third chase win at Down Royal on penultimate start (3m, good to yielding) when winning comfortably; ran okay at Cork last time off an 8lb higher mark when fourth (Whateys Quest 7l in front of him); not discounted.

John The Diva
Dual hurdles winner makes his handicap chase debut following some good efforts in beginners' chases; stayed on for third at Gowran on seasonal return last time (2m4f, heavy); handles conditions and while his opening mark is 7lb above his hurdling one, he does appear to have improved for the switch to this discipline.

Soloman Lane
Dual chase winner placed at Fairyhouse and Gowran earlier in the year; made seasonal return at Fairyhouse two weeks ago when finishing a tired fourth of 11; likely to strip fitter now.

Cheerful Chap
Consistent performer over hurdles and fences for current yard until form dipped markedly in first two runs of the season on better ground; back on track with a good third at Cheltenham last time when third over 3m1f on heavy ground; appreciates these conditions and has won off this mark over hurdles.

Whateys Quest
Maiden hurdle winner got a chasing win when taking a Limerick novice handicap chase (2m6f, yielding to soft) off 100 in December last year; ran well behind some progressive rivals (and in front of Battle Of Mirbat and Ney) at Cork (2m5f, yielding) the last day when third; chance.

The Dara Man
Modest strike rate of 3-35 over fences with last win coming at Kilbeggan last year; all wins have come on better ground and others preferred despite being 10lb lower than last win.
