Off the mark over hurdles when landing a 2m7f handicap at Thurles last time. Takes a drop in trip and races off 5lb higher so has no margin for error.
Has been in decent form on the Flat in recent weeks and returns to hurdling in good heart. Last seen over hurdles when finishing in mid-division at Naas in February and is 1lb lower. Sound claims.
Slightly better chaser than hurdler and that is reflected in his handicap marks for the two disciplines. Was well beaten when last over hurdles at Leopardstown in February and looks vulnerable despite being 4lb lower.
Without a win in six starts over timber and last two efforts in handicaps have seen him well held. Handicapper has not been particularly generous and more help may be needed in that respect.
Has run consistently well since joining this stable at the turn of the year, but has been unable to get her head in front. Ran well off 3lb lower to be third of 17 at Galway last time and has claims if stepping up on that display.
Has been placed only once in 10 starts over hurdles, but shaped a little better last time. Down 1lb and wears a tongue tie for the first time, so has possibilities.
Winner three times over hurdles, but the last of those successes came way back in 2013. Approaching the veteran stage and has it all to do despite a reduced handicap mark.
Down the field in two maiden hurdles for current trainer and makes her handicap debut. Worth a check to see if there is any money for her.
Made her handicap debut at Downpatrick last time and was never in the hunt. Hard to fancy despite a 3lb drop in the weights.

Forecasts
Gracemount (5/2), Get Out Of Jail (11/4), Antimatter (7/2), Theatre Dreams (8/1), Golden Poet (10/1), Cnoc Na Sioga (10/1), Coherent (14/1), Kitty B (16/1), The Mooch (20/1), Dandy Bridge (33/1)
Several of these have plenty to prove despite some leniency being shown by the handicapper. The selection is GET OUT OF JAIL, who reverts to hurdling after some good efforts on the Flat and can beat Gracemount, who shaped well at Galway last time. Not many of the others make much appeal, but Coherent has possibilities in a tongue tie after a better display last time and top-weight Antimatter is not out of it if handling the drop in trip.
