Hasten Slowly had EXPOUND a little over two lengths back in third when winning at last year's August meeting here and reopposes on better terms. However, Expound has been shaping with more promise on the all-weather recently and is preferred on this occasion. A seven-time winner across both codes, Hasten Slowly hasn't been out of the first two in three visits here and will have plenty of supporters. War Correspondent put in plenty of good performances last year, including over fences, but has been off for six months. You Done Well is in off a competitive weight and is tried in new headgear.
REDWOOD QUEEN sets the standard here, currently rated 128, she ran an excellent second at Down Royal a few starts ago in a stronger race than this. Her latest run can be forgiven after unseating at the first hurdle, so that effort is best ignored. If she returns to the level of her current mark, she looks the one to beat. Expound was last seen on the Flat at Dundalk, but prior to that he recorded a win and a third over hurdles. With that solid recent form, he should be competitive here and looks a strong contender for a place. Oh So Charming benefits from carrying a low weight and has been running consistently well of late. If continuing in the same vein, he can once again get involved and looks capable of filling the places.
Comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time; pulled up in hurdle debut two starts ago, yet to really show any sign of ability at this stage.
Yet to place in three starts. Well beaten at 150-1 behind Le Moulin Rouge when sixth of 12 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Wexford over 2m 4f (good - yielding) earlier this month.

CROOKED PATH has had plenty of chances and couldn't be described as progressive, but his mark of 112 sets the standard and he can put his experience to good use. The Waldgeist gelding ran another sound race when placed at Limerick last time and, after facing testing ground over the winter, might enjoy getting back on a better surface. Not beaten far in a bumper on his first outing, Hey Now should improve from his hurdling debut at Clonmel and is bred to appreciate better ground. Despite jumping poorly, the stoutly-bred Le Tatoue Madrik was third over 2m4f in February. He's now tried in cheekpieces, but may still find this too sharp a test.
CROOKED PATH may be frustrating to follow at times, but he sets the standard here off his current mark and brings the most experience to the table with 10 runs over hurdles. He has finished placed on his last three outings and now drops into an easier contest. With that in mind, he looks well positioned to make his experience count and can finally get his head in front. Hey Now is lightly raced but represents powerful connections and shaped like the type to improve for his latest run. With that experience now under his belt and added fitness on his side, he can build on that effort and looks capable of getting involved, particularly for a place. Goodmancon also has a fair amount of experience and should be able to put it to good use here. He looks another who can run his race and fill the places.
Elusive Pimpernel gelding; half-brother to Amyr who was very smart at 24f, probably bred to appreciated further but this is a good starting point, best watched on racecourse debut.
Half-brother to Amyr, won in a point to point race at 3m.

THE MONKEY POLE hasn't been seen since running poorly in a bumper in September, but is likely to be primed for this reappearance. Ridden by an inexperienced amateur when runner-up in maiden hurdles at Wexford and over a longer trip at this venue, he now has a professional in the saddle for the first time. Even though he might ideally prefer further, the Order Of St George gelding gets the vote. Time Is A Thief was too keen on his hurdling debut at Cork and had dropped out before coming down at the last. Well fancied on that occasion, he's now tried in a hood. Lord Lackendarra has shown ability in bumpers, including at this track.
THE MONKEY POLE showed promise in two bumpers earlier in the season before a slightly disappointing effort last time when dropped back in trip at Kilbeggan. This looks a good opportunity to make a winning start over hurdles, and he should be primed and ready for this assignment. Le Questionnaire ran well in a couple of point-to-points prior to finishing down the field on his hurdle debut. That run should bring him on, and coming from a powerful yard, he’s expected to improve and can get involved here, with a place looking well within reach. Time Is A Thief fell when tiring on his hurdle debut last time out, but that experience won’t be lost on him. He’s another who should step forward from that effort and looks capable of running into the places for his connections.

PRINCE OF AIR is a course specialist, winning three times in nine visits to this undulating venue and running many good races in defeat. Although failing to fire at Cork recently, that effort will have left him primed for this assignment and with Shane O'Callaghan claiming a valuable 5lb, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. Second in a point-to-point when in the care of Colin Bowe and progressive since switching to handicap company, Sheer Raz is the second choice. A brother to A Dream To Share, it'll be interesting to see if first-time blinkers have the desired effect on Liberated Light, while others for the shortlist in this open contest are course winners Kimy and Stumblin In.
SHEER RAZ represents a powerful yard and is one of the few in this field arriving with solid recent form, having finished third in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. He does drop back in trip here, but based on how he shaped on that occasion, it could well suit. Running off the same mark, this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. Prince Of Air was a solid second over fences at Fairyhouse back in October and now returns to hurdles on a mark 15lb lower. That gives him a definite chance to be competitive here, and he looks capable of running into the places. Kimy has potentially fallen to an attractive mark. While she does have to shoulder top weight, she has the ability to bounce back to form and could be involved in the finish, with a place looking achievable.
Ran to form when comfortably held in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel last time; comes into this off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on any; not fully exposed over hurdles so could feature.
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 1f on yielding ground. Finished 10l behind Fenway Park when sixth of 8 at 16-1 on her latest outing in a claiming hurdle race at Clonmel over 2m (heavy) in February. Having her first run for a new stable today.

Recent Limerick winner Dolly Watkins will understandably be a popular choice with punters, but it might be worth taking a chance on handicap debutant LAKEWOOD ROSE. While her recent form figures of '666' might discourage some, her latest effort came in a 21-runner contest, where she made some encouraging late headway. Owned, trained and ridden by Niamh Hennessy, the eight-year-old is in against her own sex and should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. Placed three times in succession before disappointing on her latest start at Fairyhouse, Yoursimplythebest warrants respect, while the returning Turkey And Ham, Clonmel runner-up Might Be The One and dual winner Lady Bluebird (first-time blinkers) are others of interest.
DOLLY WATKINS stands out as one of the few in the field arriving off a win, having landed a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time from a mark 7lb lower than now. She was an impressive winner on that occasion and looks the type to build on that success now that she has broken her maiden. With confidence on her side, she can continue her winning ways despite the rise in the weights. Might Be The One is still seeking a first win over hurdles but has been knocking on the door, including a solid effort over 2m3f at Limerick in December and placed finishes on her last two starts. She should run her usual honest race, though she may once again find one too strong and have to settle for a place. Jetaway Nana also comes here in decent form after a good run last time. Racing off the same mark, she looks capable of another solid effort and can get involved in the finish, with a place well within reach.
Finished down the field in a handicap at Dundalk on most recent run when back on the flat; effective 2m on a sound surface; previous point-to-point winner who needs to bounce back to form.
Successful in a hurdle race and a point-to-point at 2m 1f and 3m on good ground. Well beaten at 33-1 behind Be Fierce when last of 9 on his latest NH outing in a hurdle race at Punchestown over 2m (soft - heavy) in January.

A switch to fences might bring out the best in DROP A THREAT. The winner of a point-to-point when in the care of Donnchadh Doyle, the seven-year-old has been disappointing since joining Willie Mullins. Well supported and not beaten that far when seventh of 18 on his most recent start at Cork, it'll come as a surprise if he's not involved towards the business end. A son of the great Solerina and twice successful over flights, Faceman is the second choice. A runner-up on recent starts at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick, Gordon Elliott's Gunnery Sergeant warrants the utmost respect. Magic Day, Ira Hayes and Jumping Susie, who starts off for Declan Queally, are others for the shortlist in this weak affair.
JUMPING SUSIE looks set to benefit from the better ground conditions here. While she can handle softer going, she appears more effective on a sounder surface. Her third in a handicap chase at Perth back in September reads well in this context, and although she hasn’t quite built on that in subsequent runs, this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark over fences. Gunnery Sergeant arrives on the back of two solid runner-up efforts over hurdles. Those were encouraging performances, and connections now switch to fences without delay. This looks a suitable opening for his chasing debut, and he can make a positive start over the larger obstacles, with a place very much on the cards. Warriors Wood was a multiple winner over hurdles and now makes his chase debut after point-to-point experience. He has the profile of one who could take well to fences and shouldn’t be overlooked, with the potential to run a solid race and get involved in the finish.
Better effort when back down in trip when coming a 15l third in a handicap chase at Limerick on most recent run, enjoys making it; effective 2 1/2m, suited by plenty of cut; well treated on old chase form, needs to build on latest.
He has won two hurdle races, a NH flat race and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on yielding and heavy ground, but last win was over two years ago. Third of 11 behind Duffys Hodey beaten 16l at 25-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Limerick over 2m 4f (soft) last month.

He has won a hurdle race, a chase and two point-to-points from 2m 1f to 3m on heavy and soft - heavy ground, but last win was over two years ago. Finished 19l behind Duffys Hodey when fifth of 11 at 9-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Limerick over 2m 4f (soft) last month.

A dual course winner, including in this race in 2023, LIKABLE CHANCER should give a good account of himself. Third on his most recent visit to the seaside venue on New Year's Day, the 12-year-old might be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort over hurdles at Limerick. Second, third and fourth behind Live To Laugh at Thurles last month, Lake Chad, Long Road and Driveonwill all reoppose. The Philip Fenton-trained former is a three-time course winner and, despite failing to fire at Wexford on his most recent start, he might be able to uphold that Thurles form. Placed in four of his last eight outings, Oogum Boogum is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others capable of making an impact in this moderate affair are Rideau Canal, the long-absent Ballybrack Wood and top-weight Teescomponentsyess.
OOGUM BOOGUM made an encouraging start over fences when finishing third at Wexford earlier this month. He jumped well throughout but just lacked a bit of finishing pace late on. This slight step up in trip looks likely to suit, and now racing off just 1lb higher, normal progression would see him go very close here. Without Exception ran a solid race to finish fourth over hurdles a few weeks ago and returns to fences in good form. On that evidence, he looks capable of another competitive showing, with a place very much within reach. Opposite Ends comes here on the back of a hurdle win at Limerick and now switches to fences for his chasing debut. If taking to the larger obstacles, he has the profile to get involved and could run into a place.
Improved but was outclassed by the front pair when beaten 7 1/4l into third in a hunter chase at Gowran Park last time; effective over 2m6f-3m with cut and a progressive type who can bounce back to winning ways.
He has won a chase and two point-to-points from 3m to 3m 1f on ground varying from good - yielding to yielding - soft. Third of 8 behind Lets Go Champ beaten 7l at 9-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Gowran Park over 3m 1f (heavy) last month.

Now in the Irish National-winning silks of Paul Byrne, I WALKED THE LINE should prove hard to beat. Formerly in the care of Cormac Doyle, the five-year-old did well to win on his debut for Willie Mullins at Clonmel in January, beating nine-time point-to-point winner Magic Sadler into second. The youngest runner in the line-up here, he has the most scope for progression and could prove a class above his rivals. A close third in a bumper at Fairyhouse in November and the winner of three point-to-points, Catalani is the second choice. Providing Tadhg Stafford with his first track success at Cork on Easter Monday, Lawful Ruler warrants respect, while Tetratema Cup third Cold Old Fire and last year's winner Ta Se Rua are others for the shortlist.
I WALKED THE LINE represents a powerful yard that won this race in 2022 and arrives here in excellent form. A point-to-point winner in May 2025, he followed up with a maiden hunter chase success at Clonmel when last seen in January. He goes well fresh and looks the type to improve further, making him a strong contender in what appears a competitive contest. Cold Old Fire was successful under Rules at Thurles in January and backed that up with a solid third at Gowran Park last time. He remains in good form and can build on that effort, with another place finish looking likely. Muskerry Rock is yet to win under Rules but boasts multiple point-to-point victories. That experience counts for plenty in this sphere, and he looks capable of putting in a solid performance and getting involved in the placings.
