Age: 5|  Weight: 11-10| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR:  93
10/1
Pulled up in two point-to-point starts before a dismal 51L defeat last month in a Down Royal handicap hurdle on stable debut. Stable in top form and must be watched in the market.

9/2
Failed to build on a promising run behind Poormans Hill at Punchestown in January when finishing second of 13 in a handicap hurdle. 18-race maiden needs to rediscover old form here.

3/1
Won a point-to-point in November before a confidence boosting second of 10 in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last month over 2m on heavy ground. Could be of interest on handicap debut.

Will have disappointed powerful connections in a number of horrid displays last year including a 61L defeat latest. May find this a tough assignment.

8/1
Beaten favourite when last seen in December 2016 here in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f. Will possibly need the run on return.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: D J McInerney(5)| T: D J Ryan| OR:  87

Not much to shout about in three maiden hurdle starts including a 31L defeat at Thurles last month. Others preferred.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: R P Rath| OR:  85
6/1
Landed a 12/1 shock following a number of heavy defeats when taking a Thurles handicap hurdle last month by 2L on heavy ground. Raised 5lb for that effort and another bold show likely if same positive tactics are applied here.

Age: 12|  Weight: 11-0| J: M A Enright| T: L Casey| OR:  83
14/1
Failed to build on winning comeback run when finishing fifth of eight beaten 8L behind Luckyinmilan at Clonmel last month. Will need to improve to figure.
10
Horse silk
He Knows My Namet10
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: A Ring(3)| T: R K Watson| OR:  83
7/1
Solid and consistent in her last three appearances including a win in a Cork hunter chase earlier this month. Modest hurdler and could find a couple quicker here.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-13| J: A E Lynch| T: R Sweeney| OR:  82| C| D
7/1
Put a number of drab displays behind him when landing a shock 25/1 win in a Tramore handicap chase over 2m5f in December. Place claims but without a win in 29 hurdle starts.

20/1
C&D winner albeit back in December 2013 and has been completely out of form for quite some time. May find this a tough assignment.

Well beaten and no impression on four second-rate performances recently. Looks well out of his depth in this company.

Forecasts

Internal Transfer (3/1), Bronco Bill (9/2), Larkfield Lass (6/1), Cadawill (7/1), He Knows My Name (7/1), Mardar (8/1), Macca's Stowaway (10/1), Betterthanalright (14/1), Charms Bracelet (14/1), Call Of The Loon (20/1), Carrow Queen (20/1), Goodnightngodbless (20/1), Kuiper Belt (50/1)

Verdict

The pace in the race is likely to come from the likes of Charms Bracelet, Larkfield Lass and Cadawill who could give a decent pull in to the race to the improving INTERNAL TRANSFER who was a promising second of 10 in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last month. First time blinkers may rejuvenate the Gordon Elliott-trained Macca's Stowaway who can grab a place along with Noel Meades Bronco Bill.
  1. Internal Transfer
  2. Macca's Stowaway
