ARCADIAN EMPEROR has been running well and is useful. Out of a half-sister to high-class hurdler Arctic Fire, he was an impressive point-to-point winner last March and while beaten as favourite on two subsequent starts, he contested a useful Leopardstown bumper over the Christmas period and then bumped into an on-song Shuttle Diplomacy in Naas, where he finished ahead of today's rival Le Roi Du Livet. Speculateur was also a beaten favourite twice recently and is vulnerable to smart types but has been running consistently and is suited by testing ground. Gainsville and reappearing Kiely's Place step up from point-to-pointing and appeal most of the remainder.
ARCADIAN EMPEROR was heavily backed first time out and the figure he posted when chasing home a useful more experienced rival sets the standard in this line up. He's proven on testing ground and with improvement likely he is expected to defeat Speculateur who was turned over at short odds last time but by a potentially classy dual purpose performer. The pair can come a long way clear of Le Roi Du Livet who outran huge odds when placed last time but will struggle to reverse form with the selection.
Keen and ran to form when fourth, beaten 15l, in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last time; returning from a break. Effective over 2 1/2m on soft and good ground but inconsistent.

OU DONE WELL debuts for new connections and might win this weak claimer on his first start since October. The selection scored over hurdles at Limerick last May and while his best placings have come on a sound surface, he has shown bits of form on heavy and is more sprightly than his rivals. Stablemate Oh So Charming has useful handicap form but today's really testing ground is a concern. Gather Yourself is suited by heavy ground and ran well in December, but would prefer a much longer trip.
Though this trip may be on the short side for FENWAY PARK he should have too much class for these rivals. The maiden winner showed useful form as a novice last term which sets a clear standard on the ratings and is taken to bounce back after a lacklustre campaign chasing. Course winner Oh So Charming ran well in a similar event here in the autumn and would be the biggest danger on that showing though he will need to prove he handles this testing ground. Fair Damsel showed a liking for this kind of surface on the flat and would be a threat if at her best but she does need to prove she retains her ability following a lay off.
Bit below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time up in trip; effective at 2m and had been in good form until that latest run.
Placed in a hurdle race from ten starts. Well beaten at 10-1 behind Shanroe Act when fifth of 15 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Fairyhouse over 2m 4f (soft) last month.

COURTBRACK BOY was no match for an easy winner when runner-up here last month and now contests an ordinary handicap. Prior to that recent effort, his best placing was in a good-ground handicap at Listowel last September but he showed an ability to handle heavy ground last month. That race's wide-margin winner notably subsequently improved his rating by 24lb. Finnicky Filly defeated Chemdawg into third when scoring over C&D in December and both should again be competitive if replicating that form. Long-standing maiden Blue Reed was well held on his recent start but had previously shown some solid form.
BLUE REED has been frustrating to follow but he will appreciate this drop in trip and arrives in good form so looks the solid option in a weak contest. He's arguably been hitting the front too soon recently but should get a nice tow into this from the bottom weight. Recent C&D winner Finnicky Filly was unsuited by the way the race developed last time so is forgiven that run and looks the biggest danger while the unexposed Courtbrack Boy is also respected. He was poorly positioned behind an all the way winner who has franked the form here last time and could do better if ridden more positively.
Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time and now returns from a long layoff. Effective over 2m and acts with cut in the ground. Likely capable of better this term.
Unplaced in all six starts. Pulled up 2 out when 12-1 at Cork over 2m 1f (good) in a hurdle race won by Ciao Adios in March last year on his latest outing.

HARTY CUP ran well on handicap debut last month and has every chance of improving from his current rating. Placed third in a point-to-point on debut last March, the selection's initial hurdles form was poor but showed more at Gowran in January. Donnrua Dream bounced back to form when scoring in first-time blinkers at Limerick recently and is likely to enter calculations, despite being 9lb higher. King Bob has run well on yielding ground in his last two starts and completes the shortlist.
KING BOB has proven consistent in his short career and can take advantage a light weight in testing conditions here. He has been given a bit too much to do when placed on his last couple of outings and the form of his last run has been franked emphatically. Recent heavy ground winner Donnrua Dream remains very well treated on his old form so looks the obvious danger while at a bigger price Max Meridius is also of interest. He left his previous form behind on his final qualifying run and could be well treated now tackling handicaps.
Poor effort when beaten 8l in the Challenge Race at Punchestown last time. Effective over 2m1f-2m5f and acts on heavy and soft ground, but needs to prove ability remains after lay off.

MOUNT FRISCO has done most of his racing over fences but has good recent form and makes plenty of appeal from his current hurdles rating. A three-time winner and ideally suited by testing conditions, the selection last raced over hurdles in April but, having scored gamely over fences at Gowran recently, is now rated 109 in that sphere. Is Charlie Around has been running well and is also suited by testing conditions. Tingarran Express seems ground versatile but hasn't raced since winning in August. Handicap debutant Political Stance tries heavy ground for the first time.
MOUNT FRISCO snapped a long losing run over fences last time and is potentially thrown in back over the smaller obstacles here racing off the same mark. The drop in trip is no issue and with no other early pace in this contest he should once again be able to dominate. Consistent maiden Is Charlie Around is in danger of becoming frustrating but he boasts some good course form on testing ground so looks the main danger. Tingarran Express is another with a liking for this venue and if she's fit on her first start since the summer she should also play a part.
Couldn't go the gallop down in trip on unsuitable soft ground when down the field in a handicap chase at Thurles most recently. Effective at 3m and wants decent ground, but is inconsistent.
Successful in a hurdle race and a chase at 2m 5f and 3m 1f on good and yielding ground, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 50-1 when 10th of 16 on his latest outing in a chase at Thurles over 2m 2f (soft) earlier this month.

BROWN BOOTS justified strong market suport at Navan last month and he looks to be a handicap blot reverting to hurdles. He is suited by today's conditions and is much better than his 84 rating. Milanaway and Cordal Boy were each placed at Thurles recently, while Great Island scored here in December but disappointed on his latest start. Roccabaker has been running well in similar handicaps and likes testing ground.
BROWN BOOTS was an easy winner over fences last time and can take advantage of a lower mark on his hurdles return. That improvement came when he was upped to 3m on testing ground and the form was boosted by the runner up over the weekend. Love Like This departed a long way out last time but she was going as well as anything in front so has to be of interest off the same mark with a top claimer booked once again. If her stamina holds up she can fill the places with Milanaway who was a heavy ground winner over 3m earlier in the season and bounced back to form last time despite setting the race up for a closer.
Yard won this last year; fell in a beginners chase at Punchestown latest when going well in front; that form franked in a Grade 3; off a short break; effective 2-3m; should come on for that debut experience and will be winning soon over fences.
He has won a hurdle race and two NH flat races from 2m to 2m 3f on ground varying from good - yielding to soft - heavy. Fell 4 out when 15-8 at Punchestown over 3m (yielding - soft) in a chase won by Argento Boy in December last year on his latest outing.

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE is an able performer and it is hoped he will leave behind a recent fall. A dual bumper winner and placed at Grade 2 level last April, he ran well on chase debut at Punchestown in early December before falling at that venue on New Year's Eve. He is suited by testing ground and should take all the beating with a clear round. Stablemate Strutter hasn't run in 426 days and while he encouragingly remains in the champion trainer's yard, should struggle to beat the selection. Neon Diamond was useful over hurdles, while dual-winner Nytol would prefer better ground.
BALLYGUNNER CASTLE was travelling best in front when coming down last time but is fancied to make amends here on a weaker contest. That latest form took a boost at Grade 3 level and he's proven himself in varying conditions so he should outclass this field. Neon Diamond shaped with promise on her chase debut despite numerous errors so if brushing up on her jumping she could provide the main challenge to the selection. Hurdles winner Haveigotnewsforyou looked in need of the run on his chase debut and represents a yard where horses tend to improve for the switch to the larger obstacles. He could take a big step forwards and gain a place here.
Every chance but below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective over 2 1/4-3m and suited by cut; not quite in the same form after a lay-off.
He has won two hurdle races and two chases from 2m 2f to 2m 6f on ground varying from yielding to soft - heavy, but last win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 16-1 when seventh of 16 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Punchestown over 2m 6f (soft - heavy) last month.

CONNEMARA SHORE has poor racecourse form but notably won a point-to-point in November and looks likely to win from her current low rating. The form of her Moig South point-to-point has worked out nicely, as the runner-up subsequently scored between the flags, and while she blundered her rider out of the saddle at Navan last month, she had been well supported pre-race. Duce Bigalow is an 11-race maiden but is a dependable performer in this grade and likes testing ground. God Help Us returns following a break while Ag Obair Go Crua's endeavours have been paying off recently.
If this race doesn't come too soon for DUCE BIGALOW he will be tough to beat. He looked all the way the winner at the weekend but was caught late after a shuddering error having done plenty early. His bold jumping will stand him in good stead here and he should be tough to catch at the sharp track off an unchanged mark with an easy lead likely. Jumping errors have been an issue for Long Road recently but the point winner has slipped to a dangerous mark based on his hunter chase form. He can throw down the main challenge along with Ag Obair Go Crua who has been steadily progressing since a switch to chasing which has included a soft ground victory earlier in the year.
