Made an encouraging start at Clonmel in February over the minimum distance, less so in two subsequent runs over further. Upped once more in trip for this.

Efforts at Tramore and Limerick in December (both 2m5f) offered some encouragement but less appealing in two runs this year. Yet to win in 14 starts under rules.

Lightly-raced sort, cut no ice over fences last time but could do better in a handicap back over hurdles though is untested over this trip.

Disappointing in two starts this year, though did score at Tramore in December over slightly shorter trip. Just 4lb higher now and can't be ruled out.

Walked home in a 3m handicap hurdle at Clonmel earlier this month, overall profile is not encouraging.

Won here in December over similar trip, is 5lb higher now and has failed to match that effort in three starts since the turn of the year.

Pulled up over 3m at Clonmel earlier in the month, 2lb lower here and had been running with some potential previously. May do much better this time.

Mare was beaten 12L over 2m4f at Punchestown recently, upped in trip here and has potential for better.

Two years since last win, came over 3m at Clonmel. Badly out of form at that track recently but is attractively weighted if able to produce his best.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin(5)| T: D E Fitzgerald| OR:  84

Best effort for some time over 3m at Limerick this month when beat around 8L, drops 1lb for this and could have a say if able to replicate last effort.

Plenty to find on form, was a fair way behind Mount Masada last time out at Limerick. Yet to threaten in seven starts over timber.

Some minor improvement in recent maiden hurdle outing at Fairyhouse over 2m4f and could do better on handicap bow over long trip.

Just one start over hurdles, quickly weakening out of contention over 2m at Tipperary last May. Significantly upped in trip this time.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-12| J: D J McInerney(7)| T: M McCullagh| OR:  81

Hasn't shown anything in four runs over hurdles to merit supporting, attempting this longer trip for the first time but looks best watched for now.

Winner over fences at Killarney in August and while off the track since following month, could be thrown in going back over hurdles if able to reproduce that level of form.

Mare has yet to win in 18 starts over timber, though she did produce one of her best efforts when close fourth in this race a year ago off 3lb higher mark.

Hasn't really shown a lot of potential over timber to date, including in two recent handicaps and was behind a few of these recently at Limerick over 3m.

Verdict

KEMBOY is an obvious starting in point in a race where many are struggling for form. The ten-year-old hasn't jumped a hurdle in public since 2014 but was a winner over fences last summer. Getting in here off a significantly lower mark, he will have leading claims if able to run to the same level now back over timber. Mount Masada is also noted having put forward a much better effort over 3m at Limerick last time out while Leahs September has potential to have her say now going handicapping for the first time. Hannah's Lane ran a decent race in this contest 12 months ago though has been well below that since. Off 3lb lower, she is one to note in the betting. The lightly-raced Mauna Kea is also considered now switching back to hurdles along with Sea Scorpion, a winner at Tramore in December, and Twotensandalift, who had been performing nicely before his recent Clonmel flop.
