Maciver
Reeled off a four-timer (three chases and one handicap hurdle) earlier this year; should be ready to do himself justice again; ran well from his much lower hurdles mark on the most recent of two starts this term.

Aclass
Won a Tramore beginners' event for this rider with plenty to spare late last month; tackles a longer trip here and has an each-way chance if he stays; weakened late in a 3m Fairyhouse contest three starts ago.

Priory Park
One win from 16 chase starts; won over hurdles in September; faced a stiff task over hurdles at Cheltenham last time, this is less demanding.

His sole win for Gordon Elliott was obtained on good ground in a Downpatrick beginners' event; however, he handles soft; hooded for stable debut.

Course maiden hurdle winner over 2m4f on heavy; tailed off at Clonmel last season on his only start over fences; faces a stiff task against that background.

Rising Dust
Won once for the now-retired Michael Hourigan; successful back-to-back in handicaps over hurdles at Listowel and Punchestown in the autumn; failed in his hat-trick bid at Clonmel (had an excuse); readily exploited his much lower chase mark over 2m6f at this venue last month; could still have something to play with despite a 15lb rise.

Fairyhill Run
Was in the form of her life in the summer of 2021; fair form this summer before Wexford fall in July; one of a quartet for her trainer who has booked a good 7lb claimer.

Three By Two
Has tended to show her best form over the cross-country course at Punchestown, notably when winning the 2023 Ladies' Cup; decent effort over that course last time, despite not jumping as well as well as usual; sure to stay.

Winner of seven races; not at best lately, but still lends substance to his trainer's four-pronged challenge.

Love Like This
Maiden after 32 starts, though relatively unexposed over fences; out of form over hurdles after finishing second in a handicap at Sligo in June; dropped away tamely on her return to chasing at Clonmel early this month, Monday's Naas third offers hope.

Zolpharine
Undependable; pulled up twice in recent months; in between went close over a near-3m trip at Killarney; hard to be confident after his last two Clonmel runs; trainer appears to have stronger contenders.

31-race maiden, placed seven times over hurdles; runner-up on all three starts over fences, those all since October; frustrating type; may yet pick up a race; third reserve.
