The Next Waltz (IRE) Disappointed over hurdles recently; goes on the ground but preferences for others today.
Grand Gousier (FR) Up 8lb since last win but is an obvious contender today; in good heart, likes the ground and good jockey engaged; excellent chance.
Blazing Batman Ran poorly in first time blinkers last time but could do better with them off today; going well on penultimate start when falling two out in a decent handicap.
Perfectpeter (IRE) Doesn't look well treated on handicap debut; only modest form shown so far and best ignored today.
No Finer Man (IRE) Adrian Maguire's preference; not really translated hurdle form to fences; stable in form and an interesting contender.
Supreme Soviet Won over this trip here in March and now 7lb lower; out of form recently but one to consider.
Emperor's Magic (IRE) Ran a decent race after a very long absence and will have come on for that; plenty on his plate today.
Jack Yeats (IRE) Not won for nearly four years; looks stable second string.
Guiding Light (IRE) Generally consistent but looks a little out of his depth today; tried in blinkers for the first time.
All Trix (IRE) Won over 3m at Southwell in January but is worse off with Guiding Light on that run; stiff 2m 4f should suit and not without a chance.
Chill Wind Pulled up last three runs; no real prospects.
Sniper Plenty of doubts about this gelding make him a bad betting proposition.
