5/2

Comment: 2m4f maiden hurdle winner in April 2023; built on eyecatching Naas second (2m4f, soft) in January when justifying favouritism at Navan (23.5f, soft) off 120 in March, coming from rear to win in the manner of a well handicapped horse; leading player if he handles quicker ground.

7/2

Comment: Justified favouritism five times on the bounce between May of last year and January, going from a mark of 81 over hurdles up to a peak chase rating of 127 after victory at Newbury (23.5f, soft); didn't jump with the same fluency when a distant third of five there on latest but has to be respected.

5/1

Comment: Point/maiden hurdle winner; fifth to Golden Ace in Mares' Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham last season; beaten 0.5l by Spindleberry on chase debut at Cork, who has since gone on to win Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last month; landed the odds in Wexford beginners (25.5f, good to yielding) in March; fair opening mark.

8/1

Comment: Two hurdle wins last season (including on good ground) and first-time blinkers (retained) provoked a chunk of improvement in handicap at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in December when winning by 10l; failed to back that up in the Ladbrokes Trophy off 10lb higher but has workable Irish mark; likes to race prominently.

10/1

Comment: Largely not at his best this season but bounced back to form with excellent fourth of 30 in the Topham at Aintree (2m5f, good to soft) last month; James Du Berlais (fifth) gave the form a timely boost when winning Grade 3 handicap here on Wednesday; handles a sound surface and should run a big race.

Battle It Out

Jockey: C G O'Dwyer Trainer: Conor O'Dwyer Age/Wt: 7/10-7 F: U0881- OR: 131

Comment: Impressive winner of Listed handicap chase at Naas last February (2m4f, soft to heavy) before losing his way for some time; bounced back to form when winning off 124 at Fairyhouse (24.5f, soft to heavy) 12 days ago, headed after a bad mistake at the last but battled well to get back up; ground a concern.

Monbeg Park

Jockey: Mr J L Scallan Trainer: Sean Thomas Doyle Age/Wt: 8/11-11 F: 2314-0 OR: 149

Comment: Quirky but very talented; peak RPR of 147 over hurdles when beating Spillane's Tower in a novice; beaten in eight of his ten chases but probably career-best form in winning 2m5f Listed handicap at Leopardstown in March; looked a non-stayer over this trip in Limerick Grade 3 on latest; finished midfield in a handicap hurdle here on Thursday.

Sam Brown

Jockey: Rex Dingle Trainer: Anthony Honeyball Age/Wt: 13/11-12 F: 02416- OR: 150

Comment: Impressed when winning veterans' handicap at Newbury (3m2f, soft) in March off 152 under talented 10lb claimer; hit his usual flat spot when sixth in 3m1f premier handicap at Aintree four weeks ago; handles decent ground but shoving on in years; stable always respected here.

22/1

Comment: Career highlight when narrow winner of this race last year off 142 on soft; back down to that mark now but out of form since returning in October from a break, including when pulled up on cross-country debut at Cheltenham last time; big leap of faith required.

28/1

Comment: 12yo easily won veterans' handicap chase at Limerick (22.5f, yielding to soft) in December off 125; was beaten around 7l off 131 at the same venue over 2m7f in March; nearly took advantage of much lower hurdles mark there last time; may want softer ground than this.

33/1

Comment: Won handicap chase at Down Royal (3m, good to yielding) in January off 121; pulled up in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham next time; rare hurdles run at Fairyhouse on latest when pulled up again; probably best watched.

Tullybeg

Jockey: D J Gilligan Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 10/11-0 F: 039- OR: 138

40/1

Comment: Bumper and four-time hurdle winner; has three chase wins to his name but the veteran last won at Down Royal in September 2023; would have a squeak with a reproduction of Midlands National third at Kilbeggan off 140 last July when 0.5l behind Amirite but has been off the track 252 days.

Will Do

Jockey: J C Gainford Trainer: Gordon Elliott Age/Wt: 8/10-7 F: 6230- OR: 131

Comment: Has shown a liking for a thorough test of stamina in his last few outings with a second in the National Trial at this course (3m3f, soft) in February and a third to Haiti Couleurs in the National Hunt Chase; never got going behind the same runner in the Irish National 12 days ago but can't be discounted.
