Horse Silk Inthepocket
Smart novice hurdler in 2022/23 season, winning 2m Grade 1 at Aintree and 2m4f Grade 2 Naas novice; won readily in 2m Wexford beginners' chase last season but jumping let him down in good-class Grade 2 novice at Naas afterwards; reappeared at latter venue last month when favourite for 2m Grade 3 contest, feeling the pinch in fourth when a faller two out; first try over this trip chasing on handicap debut.

Horse Silk Down Memory Lane
Bright start over fences when landing a 2m1f beginners' here a year ago; jumping let him down somewhat in Graded company afterwards and again on return in 2m6f Galway Plate in late July; questions to answer and Walsh prefers Inthepocket.

Horse Silk Harry Des Ongrais
Smart novice hurdler and more highly-rated chaser last season, winning 2m4f Gowran beginners and second to a clear winner in 3m1f Limerick Grade 3 novice; absent since pulled up (after mistakes) in 3m5f Irish National in April; bit to prove off this mark.
J: Darragh O'Keeffe

8 7/1
4
Horse Silk Tullyhill
Dual winner over hurdles including in Listed company as a novice; fine efforts on first two novice chase starts last season but twice pulled up afterwards; strong favourite on seasonal return in late October but below-form second to a clear winner in 2m Wexford conditions event; jumping remains a concern and goes up in trip here.

5
Horse Silk Backtonormal
Some merit in beginners' chases last season before coming good in very valuable Grade 3 Leopardstown handicap (2m5f, yielding) in February off 130; was having his first run since when never sighted over hurdles at Naas last month, entitled to come on for that and could play a role.
J: Kieren Buckley
T: Gavin Cromwell
7 13/2
6
Horse Silk Grandero Bello
Two chase wins include 2m6f Galway handicap last season (soft); absent since pulled up after not handling the ground at Punchestown festival in early May until last of 5 when very stiff task in Grade 2 Lismullen Hurdle here last month; all the better for that run so don't rule out back chasing on favoured ground.

7
Horse Silk Hartur d'Arc
Two-time chase winner on soft-heavy, most recently off 128 in the 2024 Leinster National (Naas) on soft; narrowly denied off 137 in repeat bid in March but pulled up over hurdles at Punchestown in May, final start for Gavin Cromwell; debuts for new yard here after more than 7 months' absence.

Horse Silk Search For Glory
Dual Grade 3-winning novice hurdler; didn't add to Galway beginners chase win last season, jumping left a lot to be desired in the Ultima at Cheltenham and appeared not to stay in the Irish National; ran well for long way on last month's comeback run in 3m Troytown here before fading; drop back in trip may suit and not one to rule out.

Horse Silk The Gradual Slope
Sole chase win came in 4m Punchestown handicap last year (soft) so clearly relishes a stamina test; Pulled up when last seen at Roscommon in June; inadequate trip here and 13lb out of handicap.
