Farrokh
Winning hurdler and although 0-8 chasing finished second in this race two years ago and went close on a few occasions last year; going okay when unseating three from home when back chasing at Thurles when last seen in November; may need this but goes well here so worth consideration.

Keep On Dreaming
Dual point-to-point winner (soft) is 0-4 in hunter chases and dropped out tamely after forcing much of running on handicap debut at Roscommon last month; first run on ground this quick and hard to have confidence in.

Justicialism
Both hurdle wins came on easier ground but has been running well in defeat on good ground this year; having just third run over fences when third of 4 finishers in 2m5f Cartmel novices' handicap last month, only weakening late on; back in trip here and not one to rule out.

Arctic Piper
0-13 under rules for previous trainers, struggling in handicap hurdles when last seen; absent since January and hard to be confident in on chase debut straight into handicap company.

Quinn The Eskimo
Down Royal handicap hurdle winner last year (2m2f, good) is 0-5 chasing, encouraging Thurles debut effort yet to be built on, unseating at the first over today's C&D last month; may yet improve but opposable for now.

Chosen Shant
Wexford specialist, winning twice over hurdles last year and off the mark chasing in C&D handicap last month, overcoming attentions of loose horse at the last in outstaying L'Amiral Fromentin by 3.75l (good); up 6lb but major player.

L'amiral Fromentin
5yo remains a maiden but generally running well in handicaps, most recently making much of running until outstayed from the last by 3.75l winner Chosen Shant over C&D last month (good); 4lb better off with that rival here so has his chance at revenge.

King's Son
Second in 2m1f maiden hurdle here last autumn but struggled in handicap hurdles; chase debut at Downpatrick (2m4f) was encouraging but didn't get home as well under a more positive ride here early this month at same trip; down in trip here.

Getaway Henry
Gained second hurdles win back on his favoured good ground over 2m1f at Clonmel last month but well held off 4lb higher over slightly further 12 days ago; switches to fences now but lack of experience a possible negative.

Only A Dollar
Won a maiden over hurdles but only placed form (including here) in handicaps; chase debut was a tough one at Tramore in late May, switches to handicap ranks here.

Polly Poppins
Now 0-4 under rules, chase debut third in Tramore handicap last October probably her best effort; lots to find with a couple of these on last month's C&D debut effort.

Dontdooddson
Veteran bagged a fourth win in 2m1f handicap hurdle here last summer (good); recent hurdles form just okay so more needed on return to fences (hasn't won over fences in nearly 5 years).
