Irish Envoy
Bumper winner scored his sole hurdle win over 2m4f in a handicap here in 2023; pulled-up on his recent return and others make more appeal.

Native Dream
Best maiden runs came over this trip the last twice; doesn't look particularly well-treated but has to be considered on handicap bow; check the market; hood added.

Ashlia Dancer
Solid in maidens and also on handicap bow at Wexford last time after 11 months off, though her jumping lacked fluency; should have improved from that; chance.

Coole Cottage
A hint of ability in three maidens and a bumper; makes handicap debut after an absence; of interest if market confidence.

Harley Street
Flat winner became regressive over hurdles for former yard; needs to show his best after a break up in trip; the market can guide.

Gali Flight
Maiden has been regressive over fences lately; last ran over hurdles in February 2023 but is well-treated if able to match some of that older form.

Disappointing fav' at Cork last time when stepped up to this trip after better efforts over 2m4f; needs to do more but not one to give up on yet.

Dual-purpose maiden ran well over 2m6f last time but faded late pon and not sure this longer trip will suit; hood added.

Kelly's Birr
Won a 2m6f Downpatrick handicap for Gordon Elliott in 2023; poor in two starts for this yard and not easily fancied on that form.

Lummi Island
Was set to win when falling at the last at Limerick (2m6f) in March with cheekpieces; headgear left off and hung left but ran a fine race over 3m1f at Tipperary last time; go well with a repeat.

Ballerina Boxer
Was an unlucky runner-up over 2m6f at Down Royal but didn't improve over 3m1f at Tipperary when off this mark; needs a bit more.

County Champs
Maiden ended last year on a consistent note and put up a fine effort after a break at Tipperary over 3m1f last time; was in front of Lummi Island and Ballerina Boxer that day so is a big player with more to come.

Runner-up at Fairyhouse last winter but hasn't been near that level since; a falling mark helps but has to return to his best.

Maiden was twice placed last winter over 2m4f but hasn't been as good since; needs to get back to that form up in trip.
