13/2
Has shown plenty of promise over hurdles but the fact he is still a maiden after 11 races is slightly concerning; sometimes let down by his jumping; obvious places chance being fit from a recent spin on the Flat.

Progressive in-form gelding who won Kilbeggan bumper in September then followed up at Hexham in October in some style; found to be lame after disappointing on hurdles debut at Sedgefield in December; leading chance.

125/1
Winner of three of his 15 career starts in France but out of luck last year in four starts for trainer Vicky Haigh; interesting candidate on debut for new connections and over hurdles.
4
Horse silk
9/4
100+ rated handicapper on the Flat over a mile; not too fluent on hurdles debut at Thurles in March but still managed to finish in the money; excellent chance if jumping has improved.
5
Horse silk
6/1
Made light work of good chance to get off the mark in bumper at Kilbeggan in July scoring at sixth attempt; not disgraced on hurdles debut at Thurles in November; fair chance.
6
Horse silk
66/1
Bumper debut winner on sole start for Stuart Crawford.; failed to progress and three attempts over hurdles have been mightily underwhelming; not hard to pass over.

First foal; dam placed bumpers, half-sister to bumper winner Social Benefit; failed to complete on only appearance in a point-to-point contest in February; hard to assess.

€150,000 purchase looked booked for second in warm Boxing Day event at Leopardstown only to fall at the last; placed at Limerick the following month and should be winning sooner rather than later; excellent chance.

The fact he has only beaten one horse home in three starts tells its own story; difficult to see where the improvement will come from in first time blinkers.
11
Horse silk
200/1
Poor but generally consistent on the Flat; hails from a hurdling family; disappointing on hurdles debut at Navan in March; plenty of improvement needed.

Only raced the once on the Flat finishing 21st of 23 runners at the Curragh in August 2018; difficult to know what to expect and betting ring might be good starting place.

Age: 4|  Weight: 11-2| J: J R Wildman(7)| T: D Broad
20/1
Fairly reliable on the Flat but yet to win in 13 starts; has made just the one appearance over hurdles doing so at this track last August; interesting runner who could go well.
14
Horse silk
66/1
Below par runner for Aidan O'Brien, never competing for more than 11k in 13 starts for the Coolmore operation; best watched on hurdling debut for new connections

Reserve 2 Occasionally showed some form on the Flat but difficult to make a case for in this contest on hurdling debut unless market speaks in his favour.

DAKOTA BEAT was showing very progressive form before disappointing at Sedgefield on his final start in December. There were excuses for him that day as he was found to be lame afterwards. If back to full fitness then he has an excellent chance in this contest. Onlyhuman showed plenty of promise on his debut over hurdles. He needs to improve his jumping but if doing so he could go very well. Email Rose certainly seems a winner in waiting on the basis of his hurdle attempts to date. He is another who needs to smarten up his jumping, however.
