11/1
Useful novice who improved again to take Navan Grade 2 (20f) on his penultimate start in December. Fell early in race won by Bob Olinger at Naas since and he remains with potential moving forward.

Off the mark on return in Punchestown maiden (20f) in October and stepped up again when third in Grade 2 back there next time. However, he does need to bounce back having ran poorly at Limerick latest

9/1
Fairly useful hurdler. 5/1, creditable 6 lengths second of 7 to Ashdale Bob in Navan Novices' Hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 50 days ago. This greater test of stamina should suit.

40/1
Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 11/4, career best when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 25 days ago, well positioned. However, this requires another jolt of improvement.

12/1
Martaline gelding who confirmed debut promise behind Ashdale Bob when justifying cramped odds in a Limerick maiden (20f) on Boxing Day. Expected to go on improving.

7/1
Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped promisingly when third behind Vanillier on debut and duly off the mark in good style in a 20f course maiden since. Type to go improving as stamina is drawn out.

12/1
Confirmed promise of hurdles debut when staying on well to land 19f Naas maiden in November. Smashing second behind Farouk D'Alene in Gr. 2 since and no surprise to see him go well again.

8/1
Useful Flat performer who looked an exciting hurdles prospect when running out a 2-length winner of a Punchestown maiden (20f) in December. Worth his place at this higher level on that evidence.

Shaped with plenty of promise on hurdles bow in November and looked a novice with serious potential when bolting up in a 20f maiden here in December. Form has been boosted since and he's a big player.

French bumper winner who justified cramped odds to make winning hurdles debut at Cork (2m) in November. Cracking second in Gr. 2 Moscow Flyer at Punchestown in January and likely there is more to come

Promising individual. Won 17-runner novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy, 5/4) on NH debut 35 days ago, impressively. Significantly up in trip and well worth a crack at this level on that evidence.

Horse silk
11/1
Point winner who responded well to score by 8 lengths in a Punchestown maiden from Gaillard Du Mesnil). Seemingly not 100% at Navan subsequently and feasible to think he will get back on the up.

Fairly useful hurdler. Won 18-runner novice hurdle (2/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 38 days ago, having run of the race. Type to go improving but this is understandably a lot more demanding.
