Argento Boy
1-5 over hurdles; twice a beaten favourite before a wide-margin C&D maiden win on heavy ground; tailed off in Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham and no threat from three out in the Sefton at Aintree; ran to a useful level when clear second to subsequent Albert Bartlett runner-up The Big Westerner here last November; first-time cheekpieces.

Cardcounter
Second in sole point-to-point for Pat Doyle last autumn; fell early on his rules' debut in a Naas maiden hurdle; made amends by winning in fine style over 2m3f at Punchestown at this venue in February; backed that up with a front-running win over an extended 2m6f at Navan; promising staying type; Honesty Policy looks like the stable's main hope.

Fleur In The Park
Bumper winner last season; won a 2m Wexford maiden on seasonal debut; has made the frame in five races in graded company since, at up to 2m7f; best form at 2m4f, neck second to The Yellow Clay at Navan last November and 3/4 second at Fairyhouse last time; will need a career-best to feature.

Honesty Policy
Runner-up in a point last November and on hurdles debut at Naas in January; has made sustained progress since, winning over 2m at Navan and Leopardstown before taking the rise in class in his stride when winning a 2m4f event at Aintree; that was not the strongest of races for a Grade 1, but he overtook three horses from the last and may improve again over this trip.

Jarrive De Mee
Point winner last season; odds-on for all three hurdle wins, readily made all over 2m in November; did not have much to beat in races at Catterick and Haydock; takes a big rise in class and not guaranteed to stay as effectively as several of these rivals.

Jasmin De Vaux
Won last year's Champion Bumper at Cheltenham; unplaced favourite for Grade 1 at this fixture; suffered reverses in 2m4f/2m6f Grade 1s after 2m maiden hurdle win at Navan; went to Cheltenham with a question mark over the quality of his jumping; came good with an emphatic staying display in the Albert Bartlett; jumped well apart from untidy three out; sets the standard.

Luckinthecity
Workmanlike in winning a 2m maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last August; stepping up to 3m effectively with a hard-fought novice win at Cork in October; in when falling three out in a Grade 3 at the same venue in December; up against it at this level.

Familiar Dreams
Big improver in bumpers for previous yard in first half of 2024, the last of four wins gained in mares' Grade 3 at this venue; 2-4 over hurdles for Gordon Elliott since January; successful in a 2m4f maiden at this venue and a Grade 3 mares' race over 2m6f at Limerick; faded from the last when fifth in Grade 1 at Aintree, raising a slight stamina doubt.
