American Mike
Has spent the last two seasons over fences; went close in competitive handicaps at Fairyhouse either side of Christmas and respectable ninth in the Grand Annual since; big player if he transfers all that ability back to hurdles.

Didn't need to improve to land a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time but did it in good style; ground fine again and obvious place contender.

Kaid D'authie
Maiden hurdle winner at Leopardstown over Christmas before a distant fourth behind Kopek Des Bordes at the Dublin Racing Festival; pulled up in the Turners last time and may be more of a chaser for next season; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Locked Box
Bumper winner who took a sizeable step forward to land a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last week on first run since October; each-way claims if this doesn't come too soon.

Saint Le Fort
Steadily progressive, getting off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Cork last month but major step forward required to land this.

Hit the crossbar in two bumpers and off the mark when returning to form over timber when last seen at Sandown in February; further will suit but has plenty to find on form.

Was a bit green on debut at Wincanton in January 2024 but got the job done with the penny dropping late; however, tough ask in a race of this nature returning from 474 days off.

Bumper winner in September and some good runs in defeat since but was tailed off at Limerick last month and he has plenty to find on these terms.

Blue Mosque
Won a maiden hurdle at Cork in November and has held her form well since; possibly didn't see out the trip at Fairyhouse last week and respected back on quicker ground.

Got Glory
Maiden hurdle winner last season before finishing runner-up in a mares' Listed race at this meeting; has failed to complete in three runs this term but was about to have a major say before coming down at Clonmel when last seen; major player with a clear round.
