Finished runner-up on soft ground over an extended 2m5f in a maiden hurdle at Galway on his penultimate outing. Well beaten over 2m7f at Downpatrick subsequently and making his handicap debut here.
C&D winner in the past and successful in a 2m6f handicap chase at Fairyhouse (good-to-yielding) last month. Races off his 7lb lower hurdle mark here and likely to run well having won off a 12lb higher mark over hurdles a couple of years ago.
Still held chances when falling two out in a beginners chase at Clonmel (soft-to-heavy) over 2m in March. .Placed off an 11lb higher mark over fences at Limerick in December and interesting on his return to hurdles.
Winner of a point-to-point in 2016 but well beaten in all starts under rules (chases and hurdles) and makes his handicap debut here having contested chases the last twice.
Having his first run in over six months when well beaten off a 2lb higher mark at Limerick last month. Best effort in handicaps came when fourth over 2m3f at Cork (yielding-to-soft) last August and probably best watched here.
Placed three times in bumpers and signs of promise when a close fourth behind Swift at Navan (soft) over this distance in January. Well beaten over fences last time out and having just her second handicap start today.
Winner over this trip at Fairyhouse (good) in November. Held off higher marks since including at Down Royal last time out but remains of interest having finished runner-up off a 6lb lower mark in this in 2016.
Shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when finishing seventh of 20 in a 2m maiden hurdle here on good ground last month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut today.
Winner of a point-to-point in December and signs of promise over hurdles so far. Beaten 16L on soft-to-heavy ground at Naas over 2m on handicap debut in February but better ground forecast here should suit
Well beaten in six rules outings to date, best of those came when sixth at Tramore over 2m on yielding ground last month and worth a check in the market on her handicap debut today.
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles earlier this year. Latest of those came on good ground at Kilbeggan last month and worth a check in the market for a leading yard on handicap debut.
Finished runner-up over 2m4f at Fairyhouse (soft) when wearing blinkers (left off here and last time out) for the first time in November. Well beaten since but an interesting runner with a top jockey booked.
Failed to place in three maiden hurdles in autumn 2015 and pulled up on handicap debut over 3m at Cork (good) when last seen in action in August last year.
Making just his second start in handicap company when finishing 4L fourth of 20 at Cork over 3m (good) earlier this month. Drop in trip not certain to suit but remains less exposed than many of his rivals.
Placed over 1m4f on the Flat for previous stable. Well beaten in three maiden hurdles so far and makes his handicap debut today.
Failed to place in nine rules outings so far. Well beaten at Ballinrobe over an extended 2m4f on good ground earlier this month and probably best watched in this.
Well beaten in three maiden hurdles in 2016 and a similar story on handicap debut at Downpatrick on good ground in March. Probably best watched today.
Well beaten in all five career outings so far including in handicap hurdles the last twice. Cheekpieces worn last time out are dispensed with here and likely to struggle in this.
Forecasts
Knockraha Boss (11/2), Snugsborough Benny (6/1), Theo (6/1), Coldstonesober (7/1), Whoyakodding (8/1), Wee Tiger (11/1), Cant Wait (12/1), The Canny Man (14/1), Sweet Home Chicago (16/1), Jouxplane (16/1), Diggin Deep (16/1), Una's Pleasure (20/1), Slaney Craiglegacy (20/1), Fintown Boy (20/1), California Soul (25/1), Molten Gold (25/1), Jessicor (33/1), Kutitout (40/1)
COLDSTONESOBER was successful in a handicap chase when last seen on the track last month and can register a fourth hurdle victory here with a top jockey booked to ride. The selections victory over fences last time out came off a mark 7lb higher than he races off here and he can get the better of Knockraha Boss who was in decent form when last racing over hurdles and has placed off higher marks over fences since with Whoyakodding taken to finish third dropping in trip today.
