Selected odds by:
Point-to-point/bumper winner who is 0-4 over hurdles, sixth in big field at Leopardstown (2m2f) most recently. Needs improvement to be a win contender.
Runner-up in two of his four starts, latest at Gowran Park (2m) where he was no match for a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot. Tongue-tie now fitted. Among the main contenders on form.
Fourth in Punchestown bumper on debut. Runner-up in a couple of maiden hurdles at this course (2m4f/2m) since. Form is sound and he holds every chance of going one better.
Unfortunate not to win a Borris House point-to-point in late 2018 (in clear lead when final-fence faller). Finished third in Cork maiden hurdle (2m) last July. Open to progress for top yard.
Cost €3,500 as a yearling. Half-brother to two winners, out of a half-sister to Triumph Hurdle winner Spectroscope. Market informative on debut.
Makes debut for new stable. Needs improvement on what he showed in point-to-points, bumpers and maiden hurdles for Kieran Purcell.
Milan gelding who is out of Bluesea Cracker, who won the Irish National for this yard in 2010. May need longer trips in due course.
Something possibly amiss (weakened and eventually pulled up) in Wexford bumper last June, his sole start for Mags Mullins. Market can guide.
Poor form under rules until showing improvement the last twice. Good third at Wexford (2m) last Tuesday and has place possibilities if backing up that effort.
Well-held seventh in maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Naas since switched to rules racing. Type to do better when qualified for handicaps.
Unseated rider in two points-to-points last month. Those non-completions are flanked by two heavy defeats over hurdles. Opposed.
Finished third to smart rival in Thurles bumper in November. Nowhere near that form otherwise, including in two attempts over hurdles. Far from solid.
Has achieved little in three runs under rules having previously fallen when still in contention at Dawstown in a point-to-point last May.
Finished tenth (beaten 58L) in big-field maiden hurdle over 2m at Navan on debut. Needs to step up plenty on that bare form.
Showed promise in 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles on debut, keeping-on fifth of 18. Open to improvement and looks the pick of the mares in this field.
Potential improver on debut for Henry De Bromhead but isn't easy to fancy on what she showed in three point-to-points (pulled up each time). Market may prove best guide to expectations.

FARMIX has finished second at this track in both starts over hurdles and holds solid claims as he bids to go one better. Coolagh Park and Florrie Webb are other major players on form, while Satin Sun showed debut promise and looks best of the mares.
