Showed plenty of stamina and jumped well to score at Limerick. Should stay this far with little problem but conditions are forecast to be quicker than anything she has previously faced.
His dam was 22-race winner Solerina who was best at around 2m4f. Progressing nicely and takes another step up in class but slight doubt he will be happy at this trip.
Finds little for pressure and his rider was keen to get lots of cover and produce him as late as possible last time. Looks a tricky ride and his lack of pace makes matters even more difficult. Up to 3m for the first time and he looks risky.
Never travelling well over 2m on softer ground last time but had been in good form prior to that and looked ready for a step up to this trip.
Landed three races last year from 2m3f-2m6f including one here. Acts well on good ground and rider's claim brings her into the reckoning. Worth a look in the market after a four month break.
Gelding by Milan out of a Danehill Dancer mare. Cost €38,000 as a three-year-old. Had been improving with each start over hurdles until a poor run over this trip last time.
Nothing of note in three chase starts since September and returns to hurdles here where the Beneficial gelding is without a win in five starts.
Has shown glimpses of ability but last few runs have been a mixed bag. Official rating gives him plenty to find.
Looked to have a future when fourth at Cork on handicap debut, but that promise remains unfulfilled after three runs since. Has a stiff task back in novice company.
Landed three low grade handicaps last summer and shot up the ratings. After five months on the sidelines there must be a doubt he can produce the level of performance needed.
Ordinary point-to-point form and has looked one paced in each of his starts under rules. Step up to 3m could see some improvement, but it would have to be substantial in order to beat a field as good as this.

Halsafari has been coming along nicely but tackles a trip which will test his stamina and he has little in hand of DEAL WITH IT who looks sure to appreciate the step up to 3m. The Caddy Rose will be happier on this ground and over this trip having found things happening too quickly last time, but Pont Aven has been disappointing. Denham Ana looked a nice mare when winning at Limerick but is set to encounter much faster conditions this afternoon. Ask Heather will have conditions to suit and may have enough improvement in her to find what will be needed after winning a handicap off a low mark.
