Judged on her second at Cork on her chasing debut, MAJESTIC FORCE (nap) can win a race of this standard. Her jumping let her down at Naas, but if avoiding error she should cope with the fragile Zefiro Dodville. Cuta Des As is held by the selection on Cork running. [Alan Sweetman]

Modest form in maiden hurdles, rated 102; profited from a switch to Richie Rath for this season's point-to-point campaign, two wins and two seconds from four starts; tailed off when tried in good company at Leopardstown for his first chase start.
3-5 over hurdles, rated 131 in that sphere; remote third behind the smart Embassy Gardens at Punchestown on sole chase outing last season; in touch when fell three out at Punchestown on his first run after a year off; tailed off at Navan in January; plenty to prove at this stage.
1-17 over hurdles; has run well in defeat on many occasions, including when second off 113 at Gowran on penultimate start; never involved when a remote sixth behind the talented Inthepocket over 2m at this venue on his only chase start.
Winner of a 2m4f maiden hurdle on heavy at Navan last season; ran creditably in two staying handicap hurdles before struggling in a strong Leopardstown contest last time; rated 6lb superior to stablemate Heliko Conti over hurdles.
Course 2m4f handicap hurdle winner and also scored over 3m at Fairyhouse last season; fair form in staying handicap hurdles this season; others have superior hurdles form.
Stayed well when winning a 3m handicap hurdle at Leopardstown just over a year ago; set a stiff task at Fairyhouse on his only chase start; cheekpieces for the first time.
Point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe at Portrush in October 2022; after a year off, flopped when odds-on favourite for a bumper at Fairyhouse; redeemed himself when beating a useful sort in Down Royal maiden hurdle win the following month; seems to have had training issues but chance has to be take seriously.
Point/bumper winner; won a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last season before struggling in two Grade 1s; soundly beaten in fourth on chase debut at Cork (Majestic Force second); jumped poorly at Navan; outsider of three for stable in a stronger race at Punchestown; has become disappointing.
Point-to-point/maiden hurdle winner; creditable fifth behind Golden Ace in the Mares' Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham a year ago; solid run behind the useful Spindleberry (2-2 over fences) on chase debut at Cork in December, a late mistake proving costly; jumped poorly when a disappointing second-favourite at Naas; should feature with an error-free round.
