I A Connect
Former Gordon Elliott-trained gelding; has struggled since last winning at Tipperary in 2023 (2m1f, good); pulled up the last twice; new headgear goes on but others make more appeal.

Pipers Boreen
Won over C&D on most recent start last month; beat Therellbguddaysyet on that occasion but was in receipt of 10lb; has shown a liking for soft ground so the likely conditions underfoot may disadvantage her but she is capable of running well at this track.

Therellbguddaysyet
Beaten 13.25l by Pipers Boreen on most recent start in a beginners' chase at this track last month; was giving the winner 10lbs that day and now meets her off level weights; landed Thurles maiden hurdle back in November and has been running okay in the meantime.

Portarlington
Won three on the bounce last year; a chase win at this track was sandwiched between two hurdle wins at Fairyhouse; has been disappointing on two recent runs on the Flat despite being sent off favourite; runs off 11lb higher mark than his win here but could defy that now that he is fit.

Priory Park
Got off the mark over fences last time at Limerick after 14 attempts (3m1f, good); the step up in trip appeared to benefit him that day; raised 5lb for his win but he seems to have found his mojo over fences and may be capable of going in again.

Killinure Lass
Four-time winner over hurdles; second of seven over this C&D in beginners' chase last summer; recent runs have been disappointing but a step back in the right direction with a third at Sligo last time (3m2f, good); could get involved.

Pebble Bleu
Sole win came over fences at Punchestown under this rider from a mark of 99 last October (2m7f, good to yielding); weakened on the run-in last time at Wexford (3m1f, good) and retains same mark; more needed.

The Little Yank
Broke a long streak of poor form with a good second at Cork on most recent start in January (2m4f, yielding to soft); is a three-time hurdle winner; his most recent win came three years ago in his sole win over fences (1-28); could get involved if last run was not a false dawn.

U Asking Me
Returned from an absence to finish a tired third of seven on chase debut at Limerick nine days ago (2m4f, good); he has some decent hurdles form including winning a handicap from a mark of 80 last October; from the point-to-point scene so may have more in his locker with fitness on his side.

Game And Glory
Two-time hurdle winner is yet to win over fences; recent form has been disappointing including being pulled up over C&D on penultimate start; 13lb lower chase mark; has a nice weight but not easy to win with.
