Bajan Excell
Winning hurdler for Gavin Cromwell in 2020; failed to complete in four point-to-points since return from massive layoff; hard to fancy.

Clodders Dream
Rated 120 over hurdles but has had five non-completions in that sphere since winning at Tipperary in July 2024; can only be watched on chase debut.

Glenashling
Winning hurdler (at this track) has earned a rating of 118 after four chase starts at around 2m; stamina to prove stepped up in trip, obvious chance if he stays (mixed messages in pedigree).

Jerk
112-rated hurdles winner; well beaten on chase debut at Fairyhouse last November but was still well in contention when falling three out at Cork (2m5f, yielding) on return from a break last month; would prefer softer ground than this.

Kinbara Firstdraft
110 rated, two-time winning hurdler; shaped well in a novices' handicap hurdle here back in March (2m4f, good); may have needed latest after break and yard's runners always respected here; could go well on chase debut; tongue tied.

Slanagaibhgoleir
121-rated hurdler didn't run too badly on chase debut at Clonmel (17.5f, heavy) earlier this month; will strip fitter for that and this longer trip is a positive but his best form is on soft ground; rain would enhance chance.

13/8 |
Supreme Jet
Rated 129 over hurdles and has shaped with promise in beginners' chases at Naas (2m, soft) and Cork (2m5f, yielding) the last twice; should be in the mix again dropped back slightly in trip.

- Torquay Road
- Mr R James / C Collins

|
17/2 |
Torquay Road
Three-time winning hurdler rated 113 in that sphere; remote fourth over hurdles at Newbury on latest last month; should make a chaser on breeding and enjoys going right-handed but lack of chasing experience may count against him.

10/1 |
West Away
Two-time winning hurdler is 0-5 in chases and rated 121; fine effort when a 1l second to Ashdale Flyer at Wexford in August but soundly beaten both chase starts since; a bit to prove for now.

12/1 |
Birmingham Alabama
Point-to-point winner is 4-15 over hurdles and rated 120; bred to make a chaser but needs to bounce back from two moderate efforts over hurdles at Roscommon and Thurles; best watched unless the market speaks.

Fairyland Opera
Winning hurdler is rated 106 after two modest efforts in beginners' chases at Fairyhouse and Thurles; much more needed to win this.

Swing Davis
Point-to-point winner on good to yielding; won a Navan maiden hurdle in March (2m, heavy); outclassed when pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 1 when last seen in April; market best guide on seasonal return and chase debut.
