Ad Caelum
Four-time winning hurdler took second place in small-field mares' chases at Sligo and Clonmel in October; unplaced in two runs following that, and way out of her depth in the Grade 2 Hilly Way at Cork last time; this is a more appropriate level and not discounted.

Anotherway
Maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins (2m, heavy); found wanting in valuable handicaps and yet to shine for current yard, although there were positives in his fifth-place finish behind Kopek Des Bordes at Navan and a repeat of that could see him go close.

Choccabloc
Fair 128-rated hurdler for Nicky Henderson, winning a bumper and hurdle race and taking the runner-up spot in his final two starts for that outfit; returned from a day short of a year off with a 29l last on stable/chase debut at Punchestown last time (2m, heavy) in first-time tongue-tie; much more needed.

Gatsby Grey
Dual hurdles winner, with his last win coming in 2022; generally poor form since and has returned from a 382-day absence with two tailed off finishes; others preferred.

Moudan
Dual hurdles winner on heavy, including here; 125-1 for Naas chasing debut when unseated at the first, and fell at two out when weakening in a Navan beginner's won by Kopek Des Bordes next time; managed to complete at Clonmel last time to take third (2m1f, heavy); kept on well that day and he's a big player with a clear round.

Mywayofthinkin
Half-brother to Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin; 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle winner last season; pulled up on chasing debut and tailed off in two starts following that at huge prices; best watched unless the market speaks.

No Flies On Him
Hurdles winner has been placed just once in ten chase starts (a Leopardstown beginners' this time last year); out of form since then, sent off favourite on stable debut in October in a Down Royal handicap chase but let down by jumping and reportedly lost his action when pulled up at Cork last month; probably best watched.
