Can only presume connections are reverting to hurdles here to take advantage of a very lenient mark and current 25/1 represents solid Ew value against the very hot favourite in the race.

Was a dual winner as a 2yo including in this class and going to be all the better for decent 3yo comeback run on Aw @ Southwell. On a decent mark of 70 here, good apprentice retains ride taking off 3lb and excellent trainer is tops here percentage wise with his 3yo's last 5 seasons, making current 14/1 very good Ew value in the race.

Not sure selection justifies being a 100/1 shot for this race. Made a very promising debut in a 7f maiden @ the Curragh and although did not follow that up Lto they were far from disgraced in a mile maiden @ Leopardstown. Both those were better maidens than this one, better ground here should suit, good apprentice retains ride taking off valuable 7lb and very shrewd trainer has done well here last 5 seasons with his runners currently running @ a Lsp of 36.17. Considering selection was 33/1-80/1 for both their races then above price must be deemed fair Ew value here.

Did disappoint Lto but has been given a nice break to freshen them up and ran very well over today's C/D 4 runs back when coming 4/10 beaten 2.75 lengths in a mare only hurdle. Could go well back here and good jockey/trainer combination makes current 16/1 worth Ew consideration in the race.

Won this race in 2022 and does tend to run this track very well. Has won on 3 occasions after extended breaks in the past so clearly goes well fresh, going coming in their favour, good apprentice back up taking off 5lb and very shrewd trainer 15 percent with a Lsp of 48.00 on his 4yo plus last 5 seasons, making current 12/1 very good Ew value in the race.

Related to winners including the top class The New One and clearly something amiss when B/F on debut run as they have had wind surgery since. Has been given plenty of time to get over it and expect a better run today coming from master trainer who is running @ 20 percent with his NHF race runners here last 5 seasons, making current 9/1 very good Ew value in the race.

Was far from disgraced in the Irish Lincoln on the flat Lto and ran very well over hurdles on prior run when coming 3/10 beaten 11.5 lengths in a hot listed hurdle over extended 2 miles @ Doncaster. Makes handicap debut today in a much lesser race and very good jockey/trainer combination makes current 7/1 very strong Ew value in this race.

Dual Flat/NH performer who does have snippets of form in this sphere and is now a very well handicapped horse off today's mark of 63, making current 12/1 decent Ew value in the race.
