Pushed along four out on chasing debut at Cork earlier this month finishing 48L behind High Nellie. More expected on second start over the larger obstacles.

8/13
Weakened sharply following the third last when not unbacked at the Cheltenham festival in the Close Brothers novice handicap. Will appreciate a drop back to this trip for Grand National winning duo.

Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: M A Enright| T: N Lee
50/1
Looked the part on handicap debut when finishing fourth of 10 beaten just over 4L at Clonmel last month. Will need to improve to play a role here but not ruled out.
4
Horse silk
66/1
Not seen since being pulled-up in a Down Royal handicap hurdle in November and market possibly best guide on chasing debut.
5
Horse silk
Glenabo Bridget19
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: B Browne(5)| T: O McKiernan
25/1
Generally, well beaten in six starts since the turn of the year bar a 3L defeat in a Punchestown handicap hurdle in February. Third of 11 on chasing debut but well beaten 23L. Looks a tall order in this company.

Horse silk
Inis Meain31
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-12| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR:  117
12/1
Experienced and gallant chaser who is sure to once again give a decent account of himself in the conditions. Place claims as he continues to drop in the weights.

Horse silk
Lean And Keenh1216
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: P D Kennedy(3)| T: S Byrne| OR:  123
18/1
Last seen on the Flat in September and well beaten 27L behind Arkwrisht in a Kilbeggan beginners in August. Tough ask on return to the track.
8
Horse silk
Mighty Stowaway68
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: B Hayes| T: J J Hanlon
8/1
Well beaten and never a factor on return to the track in a Thurles beginners chase weakening four out behind Pylonthepressure. Others preferred in this company.
9
Horse silk
Mon Lino87
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: J S McGarvey| T: P Nolan
7/2
Will have disappointed connections in two drab displays over Christmas and New Year being pulled up on both occasions. Not unbacked on each start and worth a market check.
10
Horse silk
Robins Spirit16
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: P T Enright| T: J Dullea
100/1
Modest runs in two point-to-point starts and pulled up on chasing debut behind High Nellie at Cork earlier this month. Unlikely to lay a part in the finish.
11
Horse silk
Screaming Colours80
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: R Loughran| T: W Durkan
80/1
Well beaten and no impression on his last two starts at Leopardstown and here in January a total of 115L behind the victors. Others preferred.
12
Horse silk
100/1
Modest hurdler who was last seen on the Flat finishing eighth of 13 beaten 14½L behind All's Quiet in July. Market possibly the best guide to chances on chasing debut.
13
Horse silk
100/1
Well beaten and never a factor in two handicap hurdle starts including a 92L defeat when last seen in December. Will need to improve to take a hand here on chasing debut.
14
Horse silk
100/1
Has not posted anything of note in a series of starts since the turn of the year including a heavy defeat last time out in a Clonmel beginner's chase. Hard to fancy in this contest.

If Cheltenham festival fancy DE PLOTTING SHED settles in behind the likes of Mighty Stowaway and Mon Lino in the early stages here the Gordon Elliott-trained eight-year-old could take some stopping here to get back to winning ways in the opener for Grand National winning trainer/jockey duo. Lean And Keen in first-time hood and the veteran Inis Meain could hit the frame.
