Fierce HandayMark Walsh - N Meade/64-54	2/1
Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (11l) last month (bumped at the start, Gowran Park), behind Kentucky Beach, leading claims as shown some signs of promise.
Kentucky BeachTiernan Power Roche (3) - P J Rothwell/325-2	5/1
Beaten narrowly (Gowran Park, dropped back to this distance) last month, been raised a little in the ratings, must be high on list if building on promise shown last time.
Dollar NolimitKieren Buckley - E Buckley34343/	8/1
Produced several respectable runs lately, bit disappointing when finished third, beaten 16l at Punchestown last January in an unknown hurdle, representing new stable today, returns from a lengthy absence.
Hillstar BluesSean O'Keeffe - S Aherne-05401	9/1
Got home in front by a short head, breaking his duck at the eighth time of asking at Thurles 23 days ago, big hike in the weights looks justified so has to be high on list.
The Man's RoomBrian Hayes - Colm Murphy-26627	10/1
Seventh of 21 beaten 21l when dropped back to this distance in September at Listowel in an unknown hurdle, likely to be involved as he finished second four months ago.
DriveonwillDonagh Meyler - R O'Sullivan044-68	10/1
Was disappointing when eighth at 3-1 over 3m at Punchestown (handicap hurdle) six months ago, returns from a layoff, in with a shout operating off a reduced mark and he has shown signs of promise in the past.
Mon CoeurRyan Treacy - J G Murphy25/54-	12/1
Tailed off in a handicap when dropped in distance (Galway) 47 days ago, easy enough to take on on this hurdles return.
Saunton SurfEoin Staples (7) - Gary McGill25F54-	12/1
Fair effort (beaten 9l) at Wincanton (dropped a few pounds since) in March upped to 3m½f, debut for new trainer, back from an absence here, likely to be a threat if backing up last run.
SpeakasyoufindDylan Robinson - P J Rothwell588878	12/1
Still looking to open his account after seven runs, failed to land a blow when eighth of 46 over 2m½f at Clonmel (handicap hurdle) last week, a likely player.
ShudawudacuddaghPhilip Donovan (3) - J Fahey6-217	18/1
Not able to make an impression when seventh despite 7-2 odds over 2m1½f at Sligo (handicap hurdle) in July, returns from a layoff here, passed over.
Brave SoldierPhillip Enright - M M McNiff6-4430	18/1
Comfortably beaten finishing tenth over 2m3f at Kilbeggan (handicap hurdle) in August, makes limited appeal as this looks a fair heat.
KrabatCian Quirke - M J McDonagh2530-6	20/1
Was sixth of 13, beaten 24l, in May at Ballinrobe in a handicap chase, generally struggled with a record of 1-37, returns from a layoff, record suggests he is usually one to take on for win purposes so easy enough to take on.
Catch FireDaniel King - A J MartinF0-0	20/1
Finished behind Soldier Saint in an unknown hurdle at Down Royal when tailed off last month, needs to improve on balance of recent form, others more likely.
Kinturk NelsonJames Smith (5) - T Gibney00-07	25/1
Unable to land a blow when seventh of 37 last month in an unknown hurdle, definitely of interest.
Simpson's ParadoxSam Ewing - J A Kinsella80-0	25/1
An infrequent winner and recent form is unremarkable, finished out the back in an unknown hurdle (Punchestown) four weeks ago, notable jockey booking, easy to oppose.
Soldier SaintMs E Dunseath (7) - N C Kelly92-090	28/1
Beaten a long way (Punchestown) three weeks ago upped to 2m6f in an unknown hurdle, winless in six starts but has shown promise with second his top showing, others are preferred.
KiltShane O'Callaghan (5) - P J Rothwell90689	40/1
Largely been out of sorts and just the one win to his name, could not manage better than ninth (Thurles) last month, others more appealing.
Getaways CharmDanny Gilligan - P W Flynn33-640	50/1
Beaten 41l when 15th of 27 (Punchestown) two months ago, not hard to turn elsewhere.
Miss Bella VistaAlix Balfe (7) - D A McLoughlin709	66/1
Yet to manage better than seventh in her four races, finished tailed off in an unknown hurdle upped to 2m4f in October, others are preferred.

PorthillPaul Townend - W P Mullins2/3	11/8
Three-race maiden though does have a second place to his name, beaten just under 2l when third over 2m½f at Wexford (bumper) 47 days ago on debut for this trainer, making second hurdles outing today, makes limited appeal.
Bally FreeJack Kennedy - G Elliott1-4	5/2
Respectable debut effort over 2m6f at Punchestown at 6-1 last month, not many miles on the clock, entitled to be a bit more streetwise this time and looks interesting.
I Am LorenzoSean Flanagan - P Nolan/228-2	11/4
Finished second when 7-4 over 2m3½f at Clonmel (unknown hurdle) last month on debut for this trainer, major player if replicating most recent run.
Melbourne ShamrockDonagh Meyler - E Mullins13/P-4	9/1
Not beaten too far when fourth at Thurles over 2m6½f (unknown hurdle) 23 days ago, successful once in his career, Emmet Mullins's runners are going great guns at the moment, has shown signs of promise here and there and has to be respected.
Drop A ThreatDanny Mullins - W P Mullins1/7-	16/1
Tailed off at a short price in a bumper on first run for current trainer on New Year's Day, back from an absence here, second time out over hurdles today, unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.
Juke HillDanny Gilligan - G Elliott725-2	33/1
Beaten 18l on his debut into runner-up over 2m6½f at Down Royal at 18-1 43 days ago, remains far from exposed, with the benefit of experience, hard to dismiss.
Elsa BayRyan Treacy - William P Murphy5O-5P7	40/1
Held when seventh beaten 15l over 2m4½f here (unknown hurdle) last month, not hard to turn elsewhere.
ErsudalyEoin Staples (7) - C Bowe3-PF16	50/1
Held sixth of 13 but was making her first appearance (Tramore, 2m5f) at 25-1 two weeks ago, not had much racing for her age, easy to oppose.
Banter At The BarMark Walsh - M F Morris1/7-7	80/1
Could not manage better than seventh over 2m6f at Punchestown (unknown hurdle, behind Bally Free) 20 days ago, he should go close.
Cornaroya RoccoAdam Leahy (7) - J J Hanlon—	150/1
Comfortably beaten first time out at Galway at 100-1 in July, this his second go over hurdles, has had some time off, others are preferred.
Daws CrossHarry Sexton (7) - A SextonP-0	150/1
Lightly raced for age, held in 12th over 3m½f at Cork (unknown hurdle) in May, returns from a break today, runs for a new trainer here, not hard to turn elsewhere.

Cowper HallEoin Staples (7) - G P Cromwell33-224	6/4
Finished just behind Gino Bella when fourth over 2m at Thurles (handicap hurdle) 16 days ago, a major contender.
Gino BellaSimon Torrens - P T Foley6F-313	4/1
Finished third when 8-1 over 2m at Thurles (handicap hurdle) on her first start for this trainer last month, competing off a higher mark, competitive shout as there is room to improve in this code and her recent effort was encouraging.
Teds CornerDaniel King - A J Martin60-735	11/2
Better was expected when beaten 12l upped to this distance last month, ought to give it a shot.
DestivelleEoin Walsh - Ciaran Murphy003103	15/2
Went down by just under 2l at Clonmel over 2m3½f (handicap hurdle) last week, edging up the ratings, latest speed figures are none too inspiring so others more likely.
MullanourMichael Kenneally (7) - W J Martin2-FP97	11/1
Beaten 24l in seventh over 2m5f at Tramore (handicap hurdle) last month, on the shortlist as has been given a chance by the handicapper and he's shown signs of promise here and there.
Stormy JennSean Cleary-Farrell (7) - P Cluskey204863	11/1
Solid third over 2m at Navan (handicap hurdle) behind Cowper Hall, last month, not a frequent winner.
Boola TimesDarragh O'Keeffe - D Budds80-503	12/1
Beaten 19l when dropped back to 1m6f 52 days ago (behind Numidia) at Navan in a handicap, passed over on this hurdles return.
That's Me FinishedConor Stone-Walsh - N C Kelly9/911-	12/1
Bids for hat-trick, narrow winner of a handicap hurdle (Punchestown) in January, returns from an absence here, his recent speed figures don't read well in the context of this race so others more appealing.
SchiehallionPatrick M O'Brien (5) - D A McLoughlinP-5240	16/1
Was tailed off despite being fancied over 3m½f at Down Royal (handicap hurdle) six weeks ago, others appeal more as this could be a hot race.
RajjnatinPhilip Donovan (3) - Miss E McCutcheon8/U068	16/1
Out of the frame (beaten 13l in eighth) over 2m3½f at Clonmel (handicap hurdle) last week, largely been out of sorts, can run off a lower mark and is a player.
RobindevidastarTiernan Power Roche (3) - P J Rothwell850-68	22/1
Behind Teds Corner when beaten a long way three weeks ago, competitive shout as shown promise on occasion and handicapper has cut him some slack.
Mercurial SeaCarl Millar (5) - N Slevin3-3850	25/1
Beaten a long way in an unknown hurdle last month, form has been a bit mixed lately, passed over.
Hello JohnjoeBrian Hayes - A McNamara-26005	25/1
Comfortably beaten into fifth (Tramore) last month in an unknown hurdle, her recent speed figures are down on several rivals here so easy to oppose.
FourcardrunSean O'Keeffe - D Hassett7/87-0	25/1
Still looking to open his account after five runs, beaten 28l in 11th at Tipperary over 2m1f (handicap hurdle) off higher mark in May, returns from a layoff here, one to take seriously.
Marine RangerDanny Mullins - P A Fahy6008-0	28/1
Recent form is unremarkable, behind Mullanour last month when tailed off at Tramore upped to 2m5f, notable rider booked, poses a threat if enjoying better luck than last time and he is running off a lower mark.
Euro MakerSean Flanagan - A Murray0-00	50/1
This now his fifth attempt to get off the mark, tailed off last month at Navan in an unknown hurdle, capable of making an impact.
Shanroe NelsonBen Harvey - K Thornton0/090	66/1
Best he's managed so far is ninth from five career starts, found life tough when 58l back in 16th at Cork on Sunday, others appeal more.
Falcon ParkGavin Brouder - J J Hanlon-70U07	80/1
Hasn't really fired since his success in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel in January, out of the frame when seventh over 2m at Limerick (handicap hurdle) last month, this looks a decent race so may be vulnerable.
Mister PersistenceDonagh Meyler - S O O'Brien0-00PF	100/1
Shown only moderate recent form, fell when unfancied dropped down to this trip at Cork on Sunday, he should go close.
NumidiaNon Runner - P Lawlor050/	SP
Flat record stands at 4-47, well held having been fancied when fourth at Dundalk over 1m4f (handicap) last Friday, track has proven suitable before, hard enough to fancy as has a bit to find on the clock against some of these.

My Good PalMr B M Coonan (7) - G P Cromwell1U6632	9/2
Good effort when 7l runner-up over 2m4½f at Punchestown (handicap hurdle) last month, edging up the ratings, is respected.
Mount ShenshanMr C Mullins (7) - T Mullins-UP372	11/2
Beaten into second when 7-4 last month at Tramore upped to 2m5½f in an unknown chase, now back over hurdles, is not ruled out.
Sean McEoin Staples (7) - P Nolan7090-8	15/2
Shown only moderate recent form, unable to land a blow when eighth of 56 at Punchestown last month upped to 2m4½f, should give it a bold bid as some leniency shown by handicapper.
CouldntmakeitupDanny Gilligan - J Nash-26U34	9/1
Beaten fourth of 13 at Punchestown over 2m1f (handicap hurdle) last month, been given a chance by the handicapper so prospects.
Koolio KateAlex Harvey - P T Foley/007-4	9/1
Beaten a fair way when fourth three weeks ago (Limerick) in an unknown hurdle, others more likely.
Light Her UpEoghan Finegan (7) - H P Finegan086-46	9/1
Held in sixth over 2m at Thurles (handicap hurdle) two weeks ago, others have posted better speed figures recently so only limited appeal.
Brown BootsBrian Hayes - L P CusackU0886-	11/1
Held when sixth beaten 25l over 2m4f here (handicap hurdle) in February, shown only moderate recent form, returning from a layoff here, latest speed figures are none too inspiring so looks opposable.
Another GirlPatrick M O'Brien (5) - D A McLoughlin46792P	12/1
Pulled up when unfancied over 2m4f at Gowran Park (handicap hurdle) last month, others more appealing.
Sock It To MeTiernan Power Roche (3) - P J Rothwell990	14/1
Beaten a long way last month in an unknown hurdle, can be on the premises.
Run For CoverRicky Doyle - M Brassil906-90	14/1
Recent form is unremarkable, behind two of these last month when 18th at Punchestown over 2m4½f (handicap hurdle), hard enough to fancy.
Deanery CharlieKieren Buckley - G P Cromwell0-000	16/1
Was tenth of 40, beaten 27l, over 2m at Tramore (unknown hurdle) two weeks ago, should go close.
MassabielleLiam McKenna (5) - D A McLoughlin0-086P	16/1
Pulled up despite being third favourite (Punchestown) two months ago, generally been out of sorts of late, others more appealing.
MilesfromthehonkSam Ewing - G Elliott700P	18/1
Pulled up when unfancied over 2m1f at Cork (handicap hurdle) four months ago, returns from a layoff, Sam Ewing a noteworthy booking, easy to see her making an impression if finding her best form and she has been dropped in the weights.
Promo QueenDarragh O'Keeffe - C Timmons888-	20/1
Finished out the back 47 days ago (Galway) in a handicap, generally struggled of late, now returns to this sphere and may have to settle for supporting role at best.
Clever CourtSimon Torrens - P J RothwellP70	22/1
Finished tenth, beaten a fair way (Kilbeggan) three months ago in an unknown hurdle, should be on the premises as was a bit unlucky last time.
GamiginMr O McGill (5) - Gary McGillP453-0	28/1
Generally struggled of late, beaten 36l into 12th at Punchestown over 2m3½f (handicap hurdle) last month, he's operating off a reduced mark so could have a say.
Lejolicoeur Du MouLuke Dempsey - J P Dempsey0-60U	28/1
Needs to be taken seriously as he is open to improvement in this discipline.
RajsaladCharlie O'Dwyer (5) - C O'Dwyer47/FP-	33/1
Largely been out of sorts and been a while since he managed only win, pulled up when unfancied off higher mark in February, returns from a layoff, easy to oppose.
MastermindHarry Sexton (7) - Ms H P Markham5656-9	33/1
An infrequent winner, comfortably beaten into ninth in a handicap chase (Kilbeggan) on first run for his current trainer in July, returns from an absence here, now back over hurdles and others more appealing.
Keaner's BoyAnna McGuinness (7) - V C Ward80008P	40/1
Pulled up when unfancied at Sligo 50 days ago in an unknown hurdle, generally struggled of late, others are preferred.
CatchyoulaterSarah Kavanagh (7) - E Cawley0P00/	66/1

BabyburnMr P W Mullins - W P MullinsFirst Race	9/4
Course debutants from this stable always command respect, yard have a healthy strike rate with runners in this sphere so big run on the cards.
Brosna ShineMr P A King (5) - Stephen Gerard Carey3-	3/1
Wasn't disgraced on her debut when third of 30 (Punchestown, 2m½f) at 12-1 in April, has had some time off, now making HF debut, looks likely to go well.
Spring EleganceMr Alan O'Sullivan (7) - E MullinsFirst Race	4/1
This an inaugural attempt HF, the Emmet Mullins outfit is running hot currently, trainer excels in this sphere and needs to be respected.
Ash HobbsMr J M Halford (7) - H De Bromhead1-	9/2
Trainer more than capable of readying a newcomer, especially over this sort of distance, should be thereabouts.
ClaudelMr D O'Connor - P NolanFirst Race	15/2
French bred, sire capable of producing high class offspring, related to 7f winner Paramecium, one to consider.
BeechingstokeMr A P Ryan (5) - A SlatteryFirst Race	22/1
Worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise with others looking more obvious on paper.
Easily DistractedMr F Maguire - P T FoleyFirst Race	25/1
Related to 2m winner Penny Out, remains to be seen whether she'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - requires market confidence to make her of interest.
Midnight MusicalMiss A B O'Connor - A McCannUS-220	25/1
Out of the frame when 11th in a listedhf (Cheltenham) last month, now making debut HF, she should go close as shown promise on occasion and down in class.
AramintaMr B M Coonan (7) - G P CromwellFirst Race	28/1
Newcomers from this trainer regularly hit the target, from the same family as Alhena, a winner over 1m4f, French bred, must go on the shortlist.
BelladaballMr B T Stone (7) - G P CromwellFirst Race	28/1
Yard has a good record with newcomers, should give it a bold bid.
Better Be ElusiveMr R W Barron (5) - P A FahyFirst Race	50/1
This daughter of Elusive Pimpernel is running for the first time, trainer not renowned for debutant winners and a look at the betting is advised.
HunskelperMr B Mulligan (7) - Paul Mulligan6-9	50/1
Was tailed off (Galway) 48 days ago, attempting to open her account at the fourth time of asking, unproven HF and is passed over.
IsitraininginparisMr J H Williamson (5) - G Elliott—	50/1
Couldn't land a blow on her debut at Navan running over this trip at 100-1 last month, finished 16th in a unknown hurdle at Navan latest, this an inaugural attempt HF, hard enough to fancy on this HF return.
Miss KingstonMr D Doyle (7) - P F McEnery9-043	50/1
On the premises when third of 33 in an unknown hurdle at Thurles last month, now making HF debut, she can be taken on returning to this sphere.
Let's Go ForezMs A M Connolly (7) - J HalleyFirst Race	66/1
French bred, this daughter of It's Gino makes first appearance, hard to make her a bet based on first race against horses with experience.
MyluckymakerMr S Cavanagh (7) - A MurrayFirst Race	66/1
Others look more obvious on paper, this one is best watched.
CertosaMiss Sarah Leahy (7) - W J O'Doherty78	200/1
Eighth in a Sligo unknown hurdle last time out, beaten a long way 50 days ago at Sligo in an unknown hurdle, attempting to open her account at the fourth time of asking, now making HF debut, makes debut for new trainer (previously trained by Laura Hourigan), now returns to this sphere and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
