Hardy Stuff
Hooded since looking tricky on his debut, showing decent turn of foot to win Leopardstown maiden at Christmas but soundly beaten both starts since in competitive Cheltenham contests, too keen and hung right first occasion and then never sighted in Fred Winter at the Festival; down in grade here.

Arctic Flame
Off the mark in Down Royal maiden last summer (2m1f, good) and better form when second in 2m Gowran handicap on soft; after a break didn't count in very valuable Leopardstown mares' handicap at the DRF in February; this is less competitive so don't rule out.

Sense Of Occasion
Runner-up in Belclare maiden point-to-point and nice bit of improvement on second maiden hurdle run when C&D fifth (heavy) at Christmas; unable to build on that at Down Royal following month when fourth (second and third won afterwards) but still enters calculations on handicap debut.

Something Noble
Killarney juvenile maiden hurdle winner last summer and returned from winter break for shock 25-1 win in C&D handicap last month (soft), patiently ridden and coming home well to win with a bit in hand; 6lb rise looks workable, should go well.

Piccolo Player
C&D maiden hurdle winner (heavy) in November; has run well in a couple of handicaps although too keen and didn't get home on latest at Gowran; not one to rule out, providing he settles better (tongue-tie added).

Chosen Shant
Back-to-back winner of modest handicap hurdles at Wexford last summer; not nearly as effective a chaser, okay effort when last seen at Thurles in November; wants better ground so likely best watched on return.

Market Ready
Okay runs in a couple of maidens and nice bit of improvement on recent handicap debut at Clonmel when good second of 13 (beaten 1l) on soft, only outstayed late; 3lb higher but entitled to be thereabouts.

Shellrunforbriggs
Naas maiden winner was well held in handicap next time and has switched to chasing both starts since, chasing home a clear winner in 2m6f Thurles Listed mares' novice in February; interesting back hurdling here
