10/3
In super form last month, completing hat-trick at Punchestown on New Year's Eve off 116, just as reliable at this two-mile trip but up 7lbs now.

10/1
Hasn't managed to win in seven starts over flights and, despite pull at the weights, all to do to turn around Punchestown form with Duke Cass.

12/1
Very consistent mare, found out at Thurles in valuable contest pre-Christmas but this is much less daunting.

Age: 15|  Weight: 11-9| J: B J Geraghty| T: Mrs J Harrington
7/4
Career-best effort to score at Leopardstown over Christmas in a two-mile handicap hurdle, higher mark here but entitled to have more to offer.

Cadeau Du Bresil37
Age: 14|  Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott
13/2
Form in bumpers was only modest but overcame mistakes to win two-mile Limerick maiden hurdle in early December well enough. More to do here.

Age: 17|  Weight: 11-5| J: M A Enright| T: M F Morris
16/1
Form in maidens suggest he isn't one of the owner's brightest lights but still commands respect for handicap bow here.

Runyon Rattler43
Age: 16|  Weight: 11-3| J: Paul Townend| T: P J Rothwell
9/1
Won a Wexford maiden last summer and has struggled since, ran best race for some time off this mark at Leopardstown when making running latest, this is easier and not written off.

American Image178
Age: 18|  Weight: 11-2| J: Mr N Gault(7)| T: S Millar
100/1
Nine-year-old has generally laboured in three maidens to date but opening handicap mark isn't especially harsh here.

Amaulino35
Age: 13|  Weight: 10-3| J: M P Fogarty| T: C Bowe
7/1
Ran fair race on hot Leopardstown juvenile over Christmas, no threat then but this is an easier task on paper at least.

Well beaten on hurdles bow at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and would be a real shock to see him land this prize.

Forecasts

Thirsty Work (7/4), Duke Cass (10/3), Cadeau Du Bresil (13/2), Amaulino (7/1), Runyon Rattler (9/1), Herminator (10/1), Kalopsia (12/1), Vinalhaven (16/1), Jefferson Davis (66/1), American Image (100/1)

Verdict

Cadeau Du Bresil made a winning start over flights at Limerick but his jumping wasn't especially good there and he'll need to be more fluent to win this. Runyon Rattler ran a sound race at Leopardstown last month and could make a bid from the front here while Jack The Wire is dropping towards a winnable mark. DUKE CASS was in brilliant fettle last month, recording a hat-trick with victory on New Year's Eve. He just held on over the longer trip but may defy the handicapper now dropped again to two-miles. Vinalhaven and American Image are two to note in the betting for their handicap debuts while last time out winner Thirsty Work is also respected. 1. Duke Cass 2. Cadeau Du Bresil 3. Thirsty Work
