Successful at Clonmel over an extended 2m on heavy ground in February and ran well to finish runner-up at Thurles subsequently. Races off a 5lb higher mark here and likely to run well if handling the quicker ground here.
Victorious over 2m at Thurles (heavy) in February and not beaten far when finishing seventh over 2m5f at Tramore (yielding) last time out. Races off a mark 6lb higher than for his latest success and likely to run well again today.
Maiden after nine outings but has run well on her last three outings including when fifth over C&D on good ground last month. Races off the same mark here and may find a few too good once more.
Successful over hurdles at Bellewstown (yielding) and over fences at Tramore (good) in 2016. Unraced since finishing sixth at Downpatrick in October and represents a stable with a 67% strike-rate recently (4/6)
Yet to win in 18 starts and well held when 11th of 19 at Navan over 2m4f on soft ground last time out. Better ground forecast here looks likely to suit.
Sole success in 14 outings so far came on the Flat over 1m at Windsor in 2015. Beaten 29L on handicap debut over C&D (good) last month and wears a visor for the first time today.
Ran well in two maiden point-to-points but yet to place in four rules starts. Beaten 67L on heavy ground last time out and worth a check on the market for a leading stable on handicap debut.
Beaten ½L over 3m on good ground here off a 1lb higher mark in August last year. Well beaten in two starts since including over an extended 2m5f at Galway (soft) when last running in September.
Placed once from four outings in point-to-points. Well beaten three times in maiden hurdles including on good ground at Ballinrobe earlier this month and makes his handicap debut today.
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles to date including when over 100L behind the winner at Limerick on heavy ground in December. Better ground should suit but probably best watched on handicap debut.
Returned from over 18 months off the track at Wexford last July and well beaten on that occasion and in two subsequent starts. First time blinkers worn last time out are replaced with cheekpieces here.
Failed to place in 13 rules outings so far. Best of those came when beaten 7¼L into fifth over 2m4f at Navan (soft) in January but well beaten on last three outings.
Twice a winner so far including over hurdles off a 2lb higher mark at Gowran Park in October 2015. Travelled well for a long way when making his return from a six month absence at Tramore last time out and likely to have improved for that run.
Well beaten in three hurdles outings so far for previous stable. Latest of those came at Tramore in October and makes his handicap debut for a new yard today.
Winner of a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Ballinrobe (good) in July last year. Subsequently finished runner-up off a mark 2lb higher than he races off here but well beaten at Clonmel when last seen out in October.
Dual point-to-point winner including in a four runner contest at Tyrella (yielding-to-soft) last time out. Interesting runner on his first rules outing since finishing seventh at Bangor off a 9lb higher mark in July last year.
Winner of a 2m6f handicap chase by ¾L on his penultimate outing at Tramore (good) in October. Well beaten in a Cork handicap hurdle subsequently and worth a check in the market today.
Well held in eighth when falling at the last at Roscommon last time out. Yet to placed in six outings over hurdles and likely to find at least a few too good here.

Sir Jack Yeats (3/1), Delayed Eloquence (9/2), Knockraha King (7/1), Clounts Meadows (8/1), Oscar Buzz (9/1), The Trigger (11/1), Twotensandalift (14/1), Freedom Square (16/1), Lash It On (16/1), Colette's Choice (16/1), Chesapeake (16/1), Broder (20/1), Graney Town (22/1), Waste Of Time (25/1), Tunnel Creek (33/1), Big Picture (33/1), Tobar Geal (33/1), Olympic Queen (50/1)
SIR JACK YEATS represents a yard in great form at present and he can register a second hurdles success following a victory off a 5lb lower mark at Bellewstown last July. The selection hasn't been seen since finishing sixth at Downpatrick in October and can get the better of the top weight Knockraha King who was successful at Clonmel in February with Clounts Meadows taken to fill the final placing.
