Selected odds by:
Good second over fences when last seen and that improvement not reflected in her hurdling mark. Trip looks on the sharp side and she has gone 22 months without a win.
Not beaten far here last time but they finished in a heap that day and the form looks suspect. Initial handicap mark is taking few chances and she needs to improve a great deal.
Has looked a lot better on a sound surface and unlucky to run into a well-handicapped mare last time when a mistake at the last did not help.
Looks fairly weighted on her second to an easy winner last time, but would be a danger to all if progressing again on handicap debut.
Form has an inconsistent look to it but an absence since November suggests there was an issue last time. Stable's horses have been going well so one to note for a market move.
Has been supported previously and shown signs of ability. Needs to bounce back from a poor run last time but that seems likely with Davy Russell replacing a 7lb conditional.
Promised better when third at Tramore in June. Has gone the wrong way since and his hurdling record now reads 0-17.
Gold Well filly that's bred to be smart, being a half-sister to the useful pair Bright New Dawn and Lyrical Theatre. No sign of her upholding the family honour, but the return to 2m looks wise following latest effort.
Yet to make the frame in eight starts under rules and hard to believe she went up the weights for her last run. Has a stiff task ahead of her and yard just 1-67 this season.
Supported prior to a career best last time. The third has won since and young rider has caught the eye in the last couple of weeks partnering three winners.
Dundalk winner for Mick Halford in 2016 but yet to trouble the judge for this handler and faces another stern test.
Narrow Gowran Park winner at 20/1 but exposed off her revised mark last time and held on that form by Dontdooddson.
Career best came here on the Flat when conditions were very soft. No worthwhile form over hurdles as yet and his two previous runs on quick ground have been below his usual modest standard.
Sprang a 33/1 surprise at Clonmel in May but has failed come close to that standard since. His jumping could improve and a last of 13 finish at the Curragh on Saturday does not augur well.
Third off this mark at Clonmel in September and would be a danger if reproducing that. However, he has failed to come close to matching it since and was last of seven on the Flat a week ago.
Veteran with a 1-67 record and that victory coming more than five years ago. Looks up against it on return from almost a year on the sidelines.
Scraped home at Tramore a year ago and has been well-beaten in five starts since. Remains above that winning mark. Entered as first reserve.

Dontdooddson would have finished closer to a progressive rival last time but for a mistake at the last, when Jessamine was behind. That filly caught the eye staying on having been denied a clear run and she has a race of this nature within her. Toor General and Rain In Spain have claims on their best form and should be watched in the market, but JOLY MAKER is hard to oppose having failed to land a gamble last time. The third has franked the form since and his 7lb claimer has ridden three winners from ten rides in the last couple of weeks.
