Midnight Our Fred
Good form over fences last term, winning 2m4f Gowran handicap and excellent second in the 27-runner Paddy Power at Leopardstown; pulled up in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; started new season with second in a 3m handicap hurdle at this venue; labouring a long way from home in last Saturday's Paddy Power and was pulled up; quick reapperance.

Raglan Road
Winning hurdler whose standout effort in that sphere was a fine third behind the excellent Wodhooh in the 2025 Martin Pipe; modest first two runs in beginners' chases but could leave those well behind now tackling a handicap; big chance.

Koori Star
Point-to-point winner's sole success over timber was a Sligo maiden hurdle; fine effort in Listed handicap hurdle at Navan on latest; inadequate trips for both previous chase runs; can do better now stepped up in distance on handicap chase debut.

In fine form during the summer, notching up a hat-trick over hurdles and fences at Galway and Kilbeggan at 2m6-3m1f; well beaten favourite in the Cork National last time; drops in trip and talented claimer takes off 7lb; respected.

Won a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (20.5f, good) last May for Declan Queally; poor over fences and hurdles (jumped badly) in two starts since and has now joined the red-hot Gordon Elliott yard; respected.

Milan Forth
Has posted some useul efforts in hunter chases at around this trip but he failed to fire when sent off at 5-1 for a Thurles handicap chase two weeks ago; needs to bounce back.

Soloman Lane
Improved on his seasonal reappearance fourth at Fairyhouse (21.5f, yld-sft) to gain his third chase win at Navan (20.5f, sft-hvy); raised 4lb for that success but should continue to give a good account.

Cheerful Chap
Three-time winner over hurdles has yet to get his head in front over fences (0-10); pulled up in two of his last four starts, though it wasn't a bad effort at Cheltenham in November; risks attached.

Harbour Highway
Navan bumper winner in March 2024 has seemingly lost his way since a promising third in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle last March; weak form so far over fences but with a shrewd yard so can't be ruled out on handicap chase debut.
