Barry Lyndonp,t32
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-12| J: Patrick M O'Brien(5)| T: D A McLoughlin| OR:  133| C
Useful hurdler who made perfect start in this sphere when landing small field maiden here on return in October. However, little encouragement in 2 runs since so bit to prove with headgear back on.

Butch Cassidyp74
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  133
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner. Encouragement in 3 maiden chases this season and remains with potential up in trip on handicap bow.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR:  133
Came good over fences in a Naas maiden in December and got back to that sort of form when fourth of 14 in the valuable Grand National Trial at Punchestown. Disappointed in Kim Muir since but worth another chance with sights lowered.

Patter Merchantp27
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: Danny Gilligan| T: G Elliott| OR:  130
Useful hurdler but has only a maiden win to his name. Decent start over fences in the autumn but form has dipped since, though saddle slipped in the Ultima latest.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-8| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins| OR:  129
Dual winning hurdler but form went the wrong way over fences early last year and has struggled in 3 starts this season (reportedly bled last time).

Cave Court25
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-5| J: Mr O McGill(5)| T: N C Kelly| OR:  126
Dual winner over hurdles last season who ran well back over fences when second at Cartmel in June. Found things tougher since but did at least hint at a revival in Kim Muir last month.

Union Station27
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR:  126
Still a maiden but caught the eye when fourth in the National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham Festival, passing plenty having been left with a lot to do back up in trip.

Joyau De Thaix34
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: P Nolan| OR:  125
Going through a good spell and showed improved form back over fences when winning maiden at Leopardstown 5 weeks ago. Has more to offer making handicap debut over fences and back up in trip.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  123
Winner of a maiden hurdle last season and similar form switched to fences first 2 starts this term. Seemed unsuited by drop in trip at Down Royal latest, though headgear has now been applied.

Prophet's Corner15
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-1| J: Michael Kenneally(5)| T: Sean Allen| OR:  122| D
Reproduced the pick of his hurdles form for the first time in this sphere when winning at Limerick 2 weeks ago. However, had the run of things from the front that day and will find this much harder.

Savantet37
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: Colm Murphy| OR:  122
Built on a promising effort over hurdles to take advantage of a lower mark in this sphere at Navan 5 weeks ago. Open to further improvement as a chaser.

Killaney Kingh34
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-12| J: Jordan Gainford| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  119
Reliable maiden hurdler who ran just respectably back over fences when third in maiden at Leopardstown last month but no surprise if he had more to offer heading into handicaps in this sphere (easy winner of sole start in points).

Showed a good attitude to make a winning stable debut at Punchestown over this trip in February but undone by revised mark since. Headgear back on now having first run over fences for this yard.

Ran one of this season's better races when fourth here 6 weeks ago, though never threatened to end a losing run stretching back over 2 years. Firmly up against it from out of the weights.

Butch Cassidy (11/2), Prophet's Corner (7/1), Savante (15/2), Joyau De Thaix (15/2), Ayiko (10/1), Killaney King (10/1), Well Del (10/1), Union Station (10/1), Chosen Witness (10/1), Prends Garde A Toi (14/1), Will Do (16/1), Barry Lyndon (16/1), Ney (16/1), Patter Merchant (16/1), Cave Court (20/1), Supreme Gift (25/1), Clonmeen (33/1), Hermino AA (33/1)

Verdict

PRENDS GARDE A TOI's run in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham was too bad to be true so is worth another chance with his sights lowered. Union Station was an eye-catching fourth in the National Hunt Challenge Cup there so is another to consider, along with handicap debutant Butch Cassidy.
