Out of sorts this winter in Graded races and seemed reluctant last time at Leopardstown
2	Blazing Khal Bay J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	J:Philip Byrnes T:C Byrnes	162	—	1/111-	-	156	-	—	—	—	—	7	—	—
Intriguing addition to the Stayers Hurdle picture; hard to beat here despite his absence
3	Highland Charge Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Noel Meade	J:Sean Flanagan T:Noel Meade	160	—	211-3P	-	144	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Failed to take to chasing on his two starts this season; back over hurdles now
4	Beacon Edge Bay J:B J Cooper T:Noel Meade	J:B J Cooper T:Noel Meade	157	b	7P-5P4	145	153	51	—	—	—	—	23.8	—	—
Well below his best in three runs this term; hard to fancy on current evidence
5	Delta Work Brown J:Rachael Blackmore T:Gordon Elliott	J:Rachael Blackmore T:Gordon Elliott	157	t	613-13	-	156	-	—	—	—	—	0	—	—
Will be going down the cross-country - Grand National route again this year; claims

Winner on the AW in December but overall form leaves him a bit to find here
7	Grand Roi Bay J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	157	p	P3-2FP	144	161	-	—	—	—	—	23.5	—	—
Interesting back over hurdles here on his best form but probably best watched this time
8	Meet And Greet Bay J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver Mckiernan	J:Phillip Enright T:Oliver Mckiernan	157	—	23-034	150	169	138	—	—	—	—	25	—	—
Drop back to 2m did not suit at Naas last time and should be much more at home here
9	Saint Sam Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	157	h	13U6-1	-	159	141	—	—	—	—	10	—	—
Headstrong sort with a fair engine and dangerous to give leeway to; big player here
