Selected odds by:
Some hints of hurdling ability at Navan last month over 2m but struggled on her handicap debut at Tramore next time. Promise shown only previous point-to-point start earlier so likely to do better over fences, though may appreciate further.
Point-to-point winner last May but ran a poor race on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and backed that up with an even worse effort at Clonmel. Hard to get too excited about on chasing bow.
Twice a winner over hurdles last season and glimmers of promise shown in four chase starts so far, including when ambitiously aimed at a Grade 2 contest at Limerick before finding little there next time. Raced mainly on testing ground.
Unplaced in five starts over hurdles and poor showings in two AW outings at Dundalk this year. Very hard to fancy here after an uninspiring effort on her chasing debut at Wexford recently.
Little to be enthusiastic about in ten rules starts, including when a well beaten third of four in a staying novice hurdle at Hexham last month. Makes minimal appeal as she switches to fences.
Repeatedly knocked on the door over fences last year, including when a runner-up at Fairyhouse (2m5f, good) in October. Below that form when reappearing in a handicap on softer ground at Limerick recently but more in her favour now.
Yet to win under rules from 19 attempts but hinted her time was near when going down narrowly to Carole Rose at Limerick (2m3f, soft) recently with Isabella Liberty well in arrears. Not a formality to confirm that form though.
Hurdles winner in December 2015 when trained by Willie Mullins. Has flattered to deceive for current yard, mainly over fences, and again wasn't particularly fluent when well held at Wexford last time but can still improve.
Won a Tramore maiden hurdle on good ground a year ago but unseated on her chasing debut last May and wasn't sighted again until Februay when well beaten back over hurdles on heavy ground. Second chase start now, questions to answer.
Just one win from 24 runs on the Flat and a sole success over hurdles, that coming at Musselburgh in January last year. Makes a chasing debut here fit from a Flat campaign and, if her jumping holds up, she could be competitive.
Won nicely at Clonmel in February to take her hurdles winning tally to three and not disgraced off her revised mark twice afterwards. Merits respect on her chasing debut, though may not get her favoured testing conditions.
Poor Flat maiden and, though not entirely discredited on her most recent effort over hurdles at Tramore, she hasn't shown enough to suggest she's capable of scoring in this company on her chasing debut.

Leaders Questions had ISABELLA LIBERTY in arrears when second at Limerick recently but the latter has more in her favour now and could easily reverse the form on ground which is likely to come up more suitable. Stablemate Monbeg Rose wouldn't have to improve much to take a hand, meanwhile it's not hard to envisage a big run from Zipporah on her chasing bow.
