It will be interesting to see what the market makes of 91-rated Flat performer Qaasid on his handicap hurdle debut off what looks like an attractive mark. Recent winner Duke Otto is respected again but has a tough mark to overcome. Order Of The Dance will relish the step up in trip but COLLEEN DANU can bounce back from her Cork midfield finish on more suitable ground. [Adrian Wall]

Maiden hurdle winner at Thurles (2m, heavy); latecomer to chasing when never a factor in pair of beginners' at this track; return to hurdling needs to spark a revival; ground a concern.
Gained a first win since 2023 with narrow success off 97 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) in March; poor run on the Flat on latest; may not have much in hand from his new mark but in the mix for the places.
Five-time Flat winner in Britain and rated 91; hasn't translated that ability to this sphere but could be of interest now handicapping off lenient mark for in-form Shark Hanlon; enjoys a sound surface; considered.
Bumper winner; has run with promise in a couple of starts for this yard, including when fourth at Fairyhouse on penultimate run; disappointed here on latest; new headgear combination tried.
Has progressed since joining this yard, building on eyecatching stable debut sixth of 18 at Gowran when winning there (2m4f, yielding) off 95 in November; failed to back that up in big-field Cork handicap next time but remains of interest back on better ground; tongue-tied.
Lightly raced 5yo never featured in three maiden hurdles; much-improved effort on handicap debut when runner-up at Kilbeggan (15.5f, good to yielding) three weeks ago; best work at the finish on that occasion so step up in trip likely to suit; cheekpieces.
Maiden hurdle winner at Kilbeggan (2m, good to yielding) in 2023; modest chase form, falling here over 2m7f last time; well treated on pick of hurdles form but comes with risks attached.
Minor signs of ability when fourth of eight in Killarney mares' maiden in October; tailed off twice since, including on handicap debut here four weeks ago; hooded.
Made bright start over fences when third at Fairyhouse and narrowly denied here (2m7f, heavy) in February; jumping errors when pulled up at Limerick (sent off favourite); ordinary form over hurdles but in the mix.
