Has lost his way and has looked mulish of late too; easily passed over.

Overcame jumping errors to win a 2m7f maiden hurdle here a year ago; jumping remains a problem and let him down again at Navan last time; others preferred.

Boasts some decent handicap form, most recently when runner-up in a 2m Listed handicap at Limerick; good each-way shout here.

Good novice chaser last season; jumping let him down on his first two starts of the winter before switching to hurdles last time to average effect here; still on a good mark over hurdles if he can get his act together.

Runner-up in a Thurles maiden hurdle last season; did well on the Flat in the Autumn, winning at Roscommon and runner-up at Gowran in October when last seen; could put up a bold showing here.

Mic Drop
Bumper winner at Clonmel in November; decent maiden hurdle run at Cork last month but may have found the ground too testing at Tramore last week; each-way chance here in his first handicap.

Union Park
Better chaser than hurdler but still a dual winner over flights; decent fourth after six months off in the Tim Duggan at Limerick and perhaps a big run off his 14lb lower mark over hurdles is on the cards.

17 lengths off Mic Drop in a Clonmel bumper but getting the hang of things over hurdles; bids to improve on a good run over 2m at Clonmel and the extra trip should not be an issue.

Showed he was a decent staying type by gaining a deserved success in a 3m handicap hurdle here last month; drop in trip not necessarily ideal but the best of him may yet be to come; respected.

Was starting to look a bit frustrating before landing a gamble in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last month; up 9lb for that but the blinkers are retained and he looks capable of going close again.

Won a claiming hurdle at Clonmel in October and went close in a couple of handicap hurdles in November; struggled on his last three starts but his mark is looking a bit more attractive.

Flat winner for Ger Lyons and improved for this yard when switched to handicaps but hard to fancy on the back of two tailed off efforts and a midfield run at Leopardstown.

Really thrived last year under both codes for Eric McNamara; scored in a Flat handicap at Thurles on his stable debut before flopping when favourite for a good handicap hurdle at Navan; likely to be popular in the market and could prove hard to beat.

Still a maiden but has done little wrong; runner-up in a Galway bumper and has run well in a couple of auction maiden hurdles; handicapper has not taken too many chances but an interesting handicap debutante nonetheless.

Won a handicap chase at Naas last season; not seen since running well in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in March and likely to improve for it.
