'Ran okay at Ayr three weeks ago but how he will handle this ground is not that clear'

'Good form here; ground probably not an issue and no surprise should he play a hand here'

'Three-time point winner but hurdles form somewhat less impressive; others preferred'

'Out of form since returning from his summer break in October and makes little appeal'

'Up 3lb for last run here but trip and ground are fine; should go close with a repeat'

'Runner-up in a competitive contest here last month; up 3lb but should not be far away'

'Mid-division on his debut for Gordon Elliott here 18 days ago after seven months off'

'Possibly had too much made of her over this trip at Clonmel four weeks ago; should go well'

'Ground something of an unknown but certainly capable of exploiting this sort of mark'

'Up 7lb for Thurles but could be capable of improvement and underfoot conditions are fine'

'Two runs in handicap hurdles and not a great deal to write home about on either occasion'

'Not totally disgraced on her last two maiden hurdle outings but much more needed here'

'Not much to recommend in bumpers or maiden hurdles; easily passed over here'

'No impact in five runs in maiden hurdles and hard to fancy but worth a market check'

'Handicap debut here in a first-time hood but likely that he wants better ground'

'Good Clonmel run; could well improve going left-handed and not to be dismissed here'

'Does not appeal as being well treated for his first handicap after almost a year off'
