Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: H Morgan⁽⁴⁾| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 109

8/1

Ran as well as could be expected following an absence of 12 months on return to action at Cork earlier this month. Market likely to reveal expectations on second run back.

Form: 444/42-6

Even Flight²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: F J Hayes⁽⁴⁾| T: P Fenton| OR: 107

6/1

Five-race maiden hurdler. Failed to build on a promising effort at Limerick in November when disappointing in a Tramore maiden on the first of the month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Form: 377F34

Moyode Gold¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Gavin Brouder⁽⁴⁾| T: J Nash| OR: 102| C

11/2

Off the mark on her fourth career start when landing the spoils on hurdling debut at this venue over 2m4f earlier this month. Likely to improve on handicap debut.

Well Joey^t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: A W Short| T: P Stafford| OR: 93| D

11/2

Needs to get back on the rails following a hat-trick of wins last year before a couple of defeats over hurdles and the larger obstacles in December/January.

Form: 1-11P32

Ahgetawayoutadat^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽²⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| OR: 92

5/1

Deservedly off the mark for connections at the 14th time of asking when scoring in a Thurles handicap hurdle over 2m5½f earlier this month on yielding ground off an 8lb lower mark. Tough ask from new rating.

Form: 3P6271

Goulane Jessie⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁴⁾| T: S Spillane| OR: 91| C| D

9/2

Got off the mark under rules at the 11th time of asking when landing a Fairyhouse 2m7f handicap hurdle in December. Well held in a couple of starts since and more needed here.

Moyode Lady¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: K J Brouder| T: J Nash| OR: 90| D

9/1

Modest 90-rated handicap hurdler the daughter of Scorpion is one from nine over timber. Only got as far as the fourth fence earlier this month in a Punchestown handicap chase and shouldn't be taken lightly in this contest on return over hurdles.

Form: 67218F

Court Adjourned^t¹⁰⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: P J O'Hanlon⁽⁴⁾| T: D A McLoughlin| OR: 85| D

33/1

One win in 30 starts, that coming in a Thurles hurdle last year but still races 2lb higher than last winning mark. Could find one or two better handicapped sorts lurking.

Form: 780P-07

Highest Benefit¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-11| J: T Ryan⁽⁴⁾| T: W J Austin| OR: 80

6/1

Failed to land a hat-trick of wins over fences at this venue earlier this month. Without a win in 11 starts over hurdles but is 19lb lower than current chase mark.

Form: 81P-113

Forecasts

Goulane Jessie (9/2), Ahgetawayoutadat (5/1), Moyode Gold (11/2), Well Joey (11/2), Highest Benefit (6/1), Even Flight (6/1), Deal With It (8/1), Moyode Lady (9/1), Court Adjourned (33/1)

Wide-open contest to close proceedings with MOYODE GOLD taken to continue in winning form following a 6L win in maiden company earlier this month. The seven-year-old got off the mark on her fourth career start when landing the spoils on hurdling debut at this venue over 2m4f and can win on handicap debut at the expense of the Henry De Bromhead-trained Deal With It and Highest Benefit who races 19lb lower than current winning chase mark.
