Winner of one of his six starts over this trip for previous connections but has fallen in to a poor run of form since May 2017 including on stable debut over the larger obstacles when last seen in October. Others preferred.
Well held and never nearer in a number of hurdle starts since November. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role.
Winner of a Killarney handicap over fences on good ground over a marathon 3m2f contest when last seen in May. Winner here over hurdles in November 2017 off a 7lb lower mark and may find a couple better handicapped here.
Promising second hurdle start when finishing fourth of 16 beaten 3½L in a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas but has failed to improve to a high enough standard to claim success in two starts since. May have to settle for minor honours once again.
One from seven over hurdles but has been struggling of late in novice and handicap company in a couple of starts last month. Hard to make a case for on recent form but yard going well of late.
Took five attempts to open his account and then lost the race on a technicality in October. Well held in a couple of maiden hurdle starts towards the end of the year and left with something to prove on the balance of his form since November.
Won a weak maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse early last year, but didn't progress afterwards. Has failed to complete in a couple of starts over fences since the turn of the year. Hard to fancy back over hurdles.
Off the mark for connections at the 15th time of asking on his seventh start over hurdles winning a Downpatrick handicap off a 5lb lower mark when last seen in May. Not to be taken lightly on return to action.
Distance winner of a Thurles handicap hurdle over 12-months ago but has been disappointing in a number of efforts towards the end of the year. Any market move would be worth noting.
Broke her duck at the 14th attempt when making all to win at Punchestown over this trip in January. Tasted defeat once again in a Gowran Park contest off a 7lb higher mark last month and is hard to enthuse over in this company.
Boasts one win from five visits to this venue but has been in poor form in a number of starts since December including failing to finish in two of his last five starts. Others look more convincing at this level.
One from 27 over hurdles with his sole win coming over four years ago in a 2m½f maiden on soft ground. Has hit the frame in two of his last three starts and is capable of hitting the frame at a price.
Has appeared to up his game in two starts since December including finishing fifth of 19 beaten 5L in a Gowran Park handicap hurdle over this trip last month. Any market move would be worth monitoring.
Scorpion mare who won her second hurdling contest at Fairyhouse last month over this trip off a 4lb lower mark beating nine rivals 1¼L. One of the more likely types and another bold show looks likely.
Just one from 18 over hurdles for his previous handler but currently on a 15-race losing run going back two years. Needs to improve on even his best form to play a role, but could be of interest on stable debut.
Winner of a Thurles maiden hurdle over 2m7f on good to firm in November but has produced poor form in a series of dismal performances since. On balance probably has something to find in this contest.
Forecasts
From Eden (5/4), Hero's Welcome (10/3), Mount Pelier (7/1), Tara Mill (10/1), Broder (12/1), Beeper's Ruby (12/1), Let The Heirs Walk (14/1), Fruits Of Glory (16/1), Icantsay (16/1), Lucky Icon (16/1), The Mulcare Rover (20/1), Bog War (20/1), Robin On The Hill (20/1), Two In One (20/1), Maeve's Choice (33/1), Court Adjourned (33/1)
Scorpion mare BEEPERS RUBY is taken to overcome a 4lb penalty following a second hurdle win at Fairyhouse when beating Cappuccino Man 1¼L over this trip seven days ago. The potentially improving seven-year-old can hold off the attentions of the returning Icanstay and Bog War who has conditions to suit in this contest.
