Visionarian
Veteran a better chaser, last win coming in three-runner Grade 2 contest at Gowran last season; badly out of form in two runs over the summer and reappears here for new yard on hurdles return.

Railway Hurricane
Dual winner over both hurdles and fences albeit some time ago; returned from 277-day absence for current yard in October, well held on the Flat and pulled up in Fairyhouse handicap hurdle; hard to be confident in.

Ephesus
Below best on the Flat of late, having earlier won at Roscommon; hurdles win came in Limerick maiden, has been highly tried at times, fourth in 2m5f Listed novice there on last attempt; back in trip here off a reduced mark and not one to rule out.

Cafe Con Leche
Latest of five hurdle wins came in 2m4f Cork handicap last month (yielding) the quickest ground he's won on; dropped out tamely on testing ground at Punchestown since and remains opposable off same mark.

Fast Felix
Recorded back-to-back wins earlier in season in Killarney maiden and 2m Listowel handicap off 109; disappointing both starts since, latest when pulled up in Down Royal handicap; others appeal more.

St Faz
Three wins for the late Edward O'Grady, including Tipperary handicap chase in May; yet to really hit form in three attempts for the Elliott yard but given the stable's terrific current form can't be dismissed lightly.

My Gaffer
Dual-hurdles and chase winner is rated 10lb lower over timber although needs to improve markedly on most recent run at Punchestown in October; rider's claim a positive.

Fiver Friday
Four Flat wins and won Naas maiden hurdle earlier in the year for Paul Traynor; fine yard debut third in good-class Curragh Flat handicap in October and could be poised to take advantage of a decent hurdles mark with in-form rider's claim a further positive.

Half A Chance
Hasn't added to Limerick maiden win of 2024 although has been knocking on the door in handicaps at up to 2m2f; recent Taunton fifth was below best but remains of interest.

Magic Day
Ran with credit in maidens before getting off the mark in 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap in April (yielding); well held in competitive Punchestown handicap after and never counted on chase debut on October return; back hurdling.

Kotkito Bello
Has really hit form of late, making winning chasing debut here in October before following up in 2m1f Punchestown novice handicap hurdle following month when making all; up 10lb for that win but quite likely has more to offer.

Rokathir
Point-to-point winner; off the mark over hurdles on handicap debut at Punchestown (3m1f, heavy) in February but tailed off at Cork two months later off 12lb higher; back from eight months absence and inadequate trip.
