Yorkhill - 16:20 Clonmel
Yorkhill was a really smart chaser on his day and, while his Cheltenham success (JLT Novices' Chase) in 2017 probably isn't a true reflection of where he's at now, he still had plenty of ability when last seen over hurdles nine months ago and there's a good chance his shrewd handler will have him primed here. Stablemates Acapella Bourgeois and Polidam are his clearest rivals.
Cloudy Morning - 16:50 Clonmel
Cloudy Morning is on a lengthy losing run having not won since November 2016, but he was a good second when making his debut for this yard at Wexford nine days ago, and a return to this longer trip is in his favour. The handicapper has also given him a chance and, for all he remains a maiden over fences, he should be very competitive is building on his latest run. Witness of Fashion and Kilbarry Calling head the dangers.
Royal Thief - 17:20 Clonmel
Royal Thief looked an excellent prospect when third in a novice at Naas on hurdling debut, form that has since been boosted by the runner-up, and he should have little trouble getting off the mark in just an average bumper. Baboin is the chief threat but much more exposed, while the newcomer Mitchell One can't be completely ruled out.
