Belloccio
Useful Flat performer, six wins, including two Listed and the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot, rated 108 at his peak; maiden hurdle winner 12 months ago, best effort when third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Irancy in a 2m Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse at Easter; struggled over a longer tip in a Punchestown Grade 1.

Fils D'oudairies
Won two Grade 3 hurdle races at Tipperary in 2023; returned from a year's absence last Christmas and was faced with a series of stiff tasks in Graded races and in the County Hurdle last time; dropped in class at Cork on latest and failed to take advantage; risky at this stage.

Jesse Evans
Dual-purpose sort; three Flat wins/Grade 3 winner over hurdles; won over fences at Galway last September and has kept good company since then; soundly beaten in third behind Majborough in Grade 1 at Punchestown, same placing in Killarney Grade 3 two weeks ago; ran off 146 when second in Galway Hurdle in 2023; gets 6lb from the 144-rated Belloccio, so every chance

My Gaffer
Came back from a spell over fences to win a handicap hurdle at Killarney two weeks ago; in good heart but not suited by the race conditions.
