22/1
Handy dual-purpose performer, fourth in Flat handicap at Gowran 44 days ago. Bit more to find over hurdles at this level but he'll relish things if it becomes a good test.

Useful hurdler. 11/2, creditable 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Dysart Diamond in listed mares' event at Punchestown (18.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Consistent, but stronger stayers may have her measure.

4/1
2019 Irish National winner who ran a stormer in the Grand National in April, jumping and travelling well but faltering late on. Presumably Aintree is the main aim again, but he can go well here.

Useful hurdler but hard to catch right and couldn't have shown any less on return, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Naas (20f, good to soft, 20/1) 26 days ago.

Useful Flat winner for Willie Mullins this year. Previous efforts over hurdles uninspiring.

33/1
Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins (won this in 2018) but well held in 3 maiden chases and a Flat handicap since joining this yard (latest run 12 days ago). Blinkers on. Tricky to fancy.

Useful hurdler. Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (20f, good to soft, 8/1) 26 days ago, going off too hard. Could go well again from the front.

PENCILFULLOFLEAD may have plenty more to offer and given his decent record fresh this could be a good stepping stone to further glory. Burrows Saint, fourth in the National, presumably has the second Saturday in April and another trip to Aintree as his main target, but he's a force over hurdles and seems sure to go well again having been second in this last year.
