Selected odds by:
Gelding by All My Dreams out of a Take Risks. Dam French 2m2f chase winner, half-sister to 1m3f - 1m4f Flat/2m1f - 2m4f hurdle/chase winner, Athanase. Pulled up (ran wide) on debut in a Roscommon bumper earlier this month.
Gelding by Mahler out of a Overbury mare. Cost €34,000 as a foal. Not disgraced on debut but appeared a little one-pace in a Roscommon bumper when last seen in July last year.
Daughter of Presenting out of an Accordion mare. Dam chase winner over 2m1f in Grade 2 company and over 2m/2m4f in a Grade 3 contests. Not seen since finishing fifth of 10 in a point-to-point 12 months ago.
£80,000 4-y-o half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Lizzies Champ. Raced keenly on debut in a Tipperary bumper earlier this month finishing a well beaten seventh of nine.
Yeats mare who showed a little ability when finishing in midfield in both maiden hurdle starts to date at the turn of the year. Sent off a 100/1 on both starts and possibly best watched for now.
Gelded son of Aizavoski out of a Luso mare. Dam a winner in the point-to-point field, sister to 2m - 3m hurdle/chase winner Priests Leap dual victor in the Thyestes. Likely to be popular in the market.
Raven's Pass gelding out of a Titus Livius mare. €68,000 price tag as a yearling dropped to being sold for €5,000 as a two-year-old. Half-brother to six winners including Dingle View and Vhujon. Newcomers from this yard capable of hitting the frame.
Windsor Knot gelding out of a Pelder mare. Half-brother to point-to-point and bumper winner Sebastopol. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.
Gelding by Dylan Thomas out of an Old Vic mare. Not sold €13,000 as a three-year-old. Dam bumper/3m1f hurdle winner. Turloughmore based yard without a national hunt winner on five years.
Duke Of Marmalade gelding out of an Oscar mare. Dam very smart bumper/2m - 3m hurdle winner. Likely to be high in the market for respected connections.
Gelding by Mustameet. Cost €10,000 as a yearling. Dam bumper/2m4f and 3m hurdle winner. Possibly best watched on debut for leading yard unless market suggests otherwise.
Fame And Glory gelding out of a Observatory mare. Unseated on point-to-point debut last month. Appears to be one that may need a little time.
Represents shrewd connections of Presenting Percy, but this Arctic Cosmos gelding makes limited appeal on pedigree. Nearer last than first on debut in a Punchestown bumper last month but has experience on side.

Risk Factor (5/6), Blazing Emily (3/1), Avanzi (8/1), Half And Half (10/1), Johnny Batt (16/1), Costly Diamond (20/1), The Road To Fame (25/1), Soldiers Hill (25/1), Gearoid (25/1), Urabamba (33/1), Paranoid (33/1), Finding Joy (50/1), Mise Raftaire (50/1), L'scroc (100/1)
The Willie Mullins yard run Blazing Emily here, but have struggled in this race in the last couple of years with Special Ted and Valley Breeze failing to land a blow. With this in mind and most of those with experience looking a little below standard it may pay to side with the Joseph O'Brien-trained RISK FACTOR. The Michael Tabor-owned gelding can get off the mark on debut seeing off the attentions of fellow debutantes' Avanzi and Soldiers Hill from the Gordon Elliott-yard.
