Cahirdown Boy
Runner-up in this race two years ago and got off the mark over fences in a Listowel handicap three months ago; not really a factor in two runs since but back to probably his best trip and should be thereabouts.

Showed some ability over fences in Britain for Emma Lavelle; runner-up in a handicap hurdle here in October but well beaten in a competitive Navan contest since; stable second-string here.

Made all to win over fences from Cahirdown Boy at Ballinrobe in September but below his best twice after; okay run at Thurles over hurdles last month and not one to underestimate but others preferred.

Sea Road Fill
A 19-race maiden but a better chaser than hurdler; went closest in a 2m1f novice chase at Cork in October; placed efforts without really threatening in handicap chases at Naas and Thurles last twice; may find one or two too good again.

Cheerful Chap
Three-time winner over hurdles; placed on his last three runs over fences and the return to this slightly longer trip should suit; should go close.

Johngus
Won over hurdles at this meeting last year having scored at Clonmel over fences earlier in 2023; decent third to Cheerful Chap over hurdles at Naas in April; not seen since well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in May; probably best watched.

Must Be Dreaming
Quite highly tried since winning a 2m handicap chase at Tramore in April although failed to threaten in a 2m handicap chase at Thurles; 7lb higher than her winning mark; others preferred.

Birdsandthebees
Already a better chaser than hurdler but disappointed at Thurles over a similar trip last time after winning on good ground at Clonmel in October; 9lb higher than when winning at Clonmel but should do a lot better here than at Thurles.

Lough Nigara
Back from seven months off when not beaten that far in a novice handicap hurdle at Tipperary last month; chase debut here off his hurdles mark and likely to find a few too good.

Thelonglad
Is 0-10 over hurdles but was close up in a handicap in late 2023 and his last two efforts weren't that shoddy; could make a chaser but best watched after seven months off.
