Just the one pace at the finish on handicap bow at Leopardstown last month, fair starting point however and should do better.
Well held in a Limerick maiden hurdle over two-miles last month but very much one to note now on handicap bow for leading yard.
No joy in pair of UK raids either side of Christmas but still running well, Fairyhouse winner in November and should get involved at the business end.
Winner of heavy ground Limerick handicap hurdle over 2m5f in March, 8lbs higher here and has toiled both starts this term.
Long-standing maiden over hurdles now, does possess some promise and recent runs have been encouraging enough, place claims here perhaps.
Some degree of promise in three maiden runs to date, opening handicap mark doesn't look especially tough.
Struggled in two runs since joined this yard, gets another 3lbs back from the handicapper here however.
Ran a fair race to be third over this trip in Limerick handicap hurdle 23 days ago and runs off the same mark here.
Good effort in two-mile Limerick maiden in early December, form that would give him a chance if adapting to this longer trip.
Ran below form on handicap debut at Thurles in November, steps up in trip here.
Has the ability to win this race but jumping is a cause for concern having failed to complete either side of Tramore win last month.
Good effort on handicap debut at this venue to be second over 2m6f last month, up 3lbs for that effort and drops in trip but leading claims now.
Likely got it all to do to win this on evidence of what he's done in six runs over flights.
Won a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Thurles in March 2015 off 4lbs lower mark than this, mostly been toiling over fences of late however.
Fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle bow at Limerick 25 days ago, drops 1lb here and may have more to give.
Clear of the rest when second in Limerick handicap over 2m3f in testing ground latest, should be competitive again off 1lb higher.
Struggled over two-miles at Limerick last month, soon beaten. Goes back up in trip here but hard to make a case for her on form.
Unseated his rider early on stable debut at Fairyhouse earlier this month, switches to hurdles now and is winless in six previous attempts in this sphere.
Long-standing maiden now, but ran a fair race at Limerick last month when sixth of 14.
Forecasts
Slicker City (7/1), Palmabad (8/1), Silver Tara (8/1), Sea Scorpion (8/1), Theo (9/1), Wee Small Hours (9/1), Twotensandalift (12/1), Oscar Buzz (12/1), Edvardo (12/1), Calin Des Ongrais (14/1), Highest Benefit (14/1), Fridaynightlights (16/1), Bective Cave (16/1), Wild Sam (16/1), Doldrum Bay (16/1), Swift (20/1), Cant Wait (20/1), Whats In It For Me (33/1), Drishogue Boy (50/1)
Theo, winner at Fairyhouse in November, ought to be competitive after two failed attempts at Musselburgh recently while Fridaynightlights has a chance at this new trip based on his Limerick form. Wee Small Hours also ran well at that venue latest and is just 1lb higher now. SILVER TARA went close on his handicap debut here last month and can score now off just a 3lbs higher mark. Slicker City is unpunished for a good effort at Limerick recently and should go well again while Calin Des Ongrais is the type to better now going handicapping.
