Path D'oroux
1-15 over fences; chased home his stablemate The King Of Prs in Fairyhouse Grade 3 in January but hasn't kicked on twice since; this is tough.

Chased home Lecky Watson in a beginners' earlier in the campaign and respectable efforts in defeat twice since; very interesting on handicap debut and may appreciate return to quicker ground.

2-3 over fences and got the better of short priced High Class Hero in Grade 3 novice at Thurles in March; handicapper has had his say but may come on for that run and not ruled out; Walsh seemingly prefers Nara.

Zenta
Off the mark over fences in a mares' beginners' at Fairyhouse but didn't really build on that when a beaten favourite in Listed handicap company since; best form on softer ground than this.

Nara
Fell on chase debut but 2-3 since including a Grade 2 novice at Thurles in January; interesting that she's the pick of Walsh but doesn't look particularly well treated so will need to improve.

What's Up Darling
0-6 over fences; brought down at the Festival but has been running well in defeat in beginners' company this season; however, probably doesn't hold any secrets from the assessor.

Won competitive handicap on Cheltenham trials day; pulled up at the Festival but bounced back with a respectable fourth in a Limited Grade 2 Handicap since; fascinating contender with Bowen booked.

Improving over fences this season and off the mark in a mares' novice handicap at Cheltenham 15 days ago; only 8lb higher for that facile 10l success and looks like a major player again.

Tailed off at Fairyhouse just 12 days ago but had been in good form prior to that effort; suspicion this mark is beyond him.

Came on from chase debut to win beginners' at Fairyhouse and only beaten half a length in follow up bid; potentially well treated now handicapping but has been off 139 days.

Showed promise in Galway Festival in 2023 but has shown very little twice since, unseating last time; needs to get his jumping together.

0-6 over fences but signs he was getting the hang of things at Fairyhouse last week; may want softer ground than this, particularly over this trip.

Good run at Galway in October; unseated very early at Wexford in only other run and he's an interesting runner from this sort of mark.

Good second at Leopardstown in March but struggled at Wexford last month; high up on jockey bookings though and a good chance this longer trip will suit.

Pretty consistent sort who hit the frame again at Fairyhouse last week but handicapper may have his measure.
