Selected odds by:
First foal. Dam lightly raced in bumpers but showed little form. Not easy to fancy on belated racecourse debut unless market tells us differently.
Has shown a glimmer of ability in a maiden hurdle and a Bumper. Needs to improve a lot and probably one for the future for his shrewd handler.
€62,000 as a three-year-old. Dam was a dual winner and is well worth noting in the market for in-form trainer/jockey combination.
Beat just a single rival in each of his two bumpers when last seen in 2016 and impossible to fancy on that evidence after lengthy lay off.
Placed over 1m4f on the Flat last week but rated just 49 in that sphere and showed little when last seen over hurdles in 2016.
Good ground Bumper win last spring and stepped forward from hurdles debut when third at Tramore recently. More needed but holds place claims.
Failed to complete in four Point-to-points and no promise on recent hurdles debut. Hard to fancy on all known evidence.
Very moderate in four Point-to-points in 2017 and easy to look elsewhere on rules debut after a lengthy absence.
Has shown nothing when jumping moderately in two novice events when starting at 100/1 and easy to look elsewhere again.
Won a heavy ground Bumper last spring but disappointed on hurdles debut despite been strong in the market and best watched now.
Two wins on the Flat for James Bethall where he was all about stamina. Changed hands for £16,000 and worth keeping an eye on in the market on hurdles debut.
Not knocked about on recent Leopardstown debut when 12th of 20. Better to come but may need a bit more time.
Racecourse debut. Dam, a Point-to-point winner was a half-sister to the very smart Oscar Whisky. Market should be informative.
Point-to-point winner and would have gone very close to making a winning debut over hurdles but for stumbling badly at the last when in front at Leopardstown. Deserves compensation and clearly a contender for this similar contest.
First sign of ability when third of 22 over 2m at Cork a fortnight ago. Should improve and on breeding this longer trip likely to suit.
Listed winner at 2m for John Gosden on Flat and joined current yard for 100,000 gns in October 2017. May have bumped into a very smart winner on hurdles debut and looks sure to show the benefit of that experience.
Poor form in Point-to-points but exceeded market expectations when fourth on recent hurdling debut though more required to trouble the best of these.
Sixth foal. Related to staying winners and likely to need more time and distance unless the market tells us otherwise.
66/1 both starts for powerful yard but hasn't shown much and should do better in time when he is sent handicapping.
Poor form in four Point-to-points and a pair of hurdles and impossible to fancy on all known evidence.
11/1, not without some promise when midfield on only start in a valuable Bumper last April but absent since and jockey bookings suggest he is stable second string.
Dual winner at 1m2f for David Lanigan on the Flat last summer. Tailed off on hurdling debut for this yard and would need to show dramatic improvement in short space of time.
100/1 and no immediate promise in two runs over hurdles. Steps up now from 2m but easy to look elsewhere.
7f AW winner on the Flat but tailed off on hurdles debut and longer trip today not sure to suit.
Switches back to hurdles now after a spell in bumpers but didn't show much aptitude in this sphere in the past and easy to swerve.
38 rated maiden on the Flat and no sign of ability in two previous attempts at this game. Impossible to fancy.
Two wins at up to 1m7f on the Flat when trained in France but form deteriorated when leaving there and didn't show enough on hurdling debut to take seriously here.
Soft ground Bumper win at Cork last May. Well backed on recent hurdling debut and creditable fifth in big field. Sure to improve with that experience under her belt.
Dam won a Bumper and stayed well. Related to Ballyfinboy who won over 3m. Likely to do better in time over further.
First foal. Dam was quite a useful Bumper winner. Yard just 2-82 in last 5 years so hard to fancy on racecourse debut.
Bit better at Naas last time over 2m but huge improvement needed at this longer trip to play a leading a role.
Weak 20/1 shot on recent Bumper debut. Didn't show enough to be of interest on belated hurdling bow today.
Belied her odds of 66/1 on Clonmel 2m debut last week when showing distinct promise. Longer trip should suit and open to improvement.
Forecasts
Face The Facts (5/6), Discordantly (13/2), Moratorium (8/1), Diol Ker (8/1), Emily Moon (12/1), Hit The Tar (12/1), Where Eagles Dare (16/1), Seeyouinvinnys (16/1), Cray (16/1), Dark Decade (20/1), Young Dev (20/1), Keep Standing (20/1), Darver Star (25/1), Take A Turn (25/1), Outside The Ring (33/1), Cloughmoylepatriot (33/1), Rio De Cerisy (33/1), Port Sunshine (33/1), Misshamrock (33/1), Dawson's Cottage (50/1), Scaramucci (50/1), Sophie's Best (50/1), Larry Tully (50/1), Our Big Red (66/1), Manomine (66/1), Geoffrey's Girl (66/1), Willwams (100/1), Tomasbar (100/1), Fianchetto (100/1), Tormund (100/1)
Not many can be fancied despite the huge field and FACE THE FACTS may not have to show much in he way of improvement from last month's hurdling debut to get off the mark in this sphere. Diol Ker was unlucky at Leopardstown over Christmas and rates a big threat with Discordantly looking best of the rest.
