Comment: Point winner; 0-2 in bumpers; has taken well to hurdling, two wins and two seconds from four starts; odds-on for wins at Limerick and Perth, this looks much more competitive; trainer also runs the 4lb-receiving Gers Gigi.

Comment: Odds-on for a mares' maiden hurdle win at Sligo last summer; uneven form since then; no match for a shorter-priced stablemate at Listowel; ran well in the circumstances and has an edge over third-placed Jane Eire; market may hint at her prospects relative to stablemate Emily Love.

Comment: Useful form in bumpers, notably 5l defeat by dual Grade 1 winner Bambino Fever over 2m2f at Punchestown last December; despite a few sloppy jumps, won readily on hurdling debut at Tramore; shorter trip here possibly not ideal. but has potential for improvement.

Verdict: Very hard to get away from the claims of ANYWAY following a superb Cheltenham effort, providing he handles this sharper track, although he has won around the likes of Killarney. On hurdles ratings You Oughta Know rates a danger but he didn't get far on his recent chasing debut, the Gordon Elliott-trained pair Harsh and St Cuthbert's Cave have both shown an aptitude for chasing and hold solid place claims.

Comment: Smart bumper form (winning here) and made winning hurdles debut (rated 130) at Punchestown in December; safely held twice afterwards in novice company before switched to fences last month, unseating rider early on when favourite at Tipperary; given improved jumping has to be considered.

Comment: Point winner won Tramore maiden hurdle last summer and already a better chaser, winning on both visits here, latest in handicap over this trip last month after 202-day absence, when bolting up by 12l (third and fourth have won since); up 11lb for that but rider (rode on first win) takes off a valuable 7lb and big player.

Comment: Was gaining fourth win over fences when coping with better ground over 2m4f at Punchestown eight days ago, recording a third win at the track in what was a messy race; not certain to back that up but 4lb rise gives him every chance (2lb out of handicap but rider claims 3lb) and has won over hurdles around here.
