8/1
Twice-raced winner over hurdles. 5/2, 2¾ lengths third of 8 to Farren Glory in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 40 days ago. Up in trip. Should progress.

Promise in 2 starts in bumpers and had little fuss landing 17-runner novice at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 4/6) on hurdles bow 36 days ago, cruising clear. Open to significant progress.

Runner-up only start in bumpers and he arrives here having made it 2-2 over hurdles when landing 6-runner Grade 3 Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 4/6) 49 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Mel Monroe. Jumped soundly then and possibilities upped further in class.

15/8
Useful, 3-time winner in bumpers who impressed on all fronts when making a successful switch to hurdling at Fairyhouse last month, jumping/travelling well and always having matters in hand. Well worth his place at this higher level and leading claims up in trip.

6/4
Promising type. Career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 4/9) on hurdles bow 62 days ago, soon clear. Up in trip and worth considering with good deal more expected.

14/1
Useful bumper performer who tasted success on hurdles bow at Thurles (23f) in November and built considerably on that when second in Navan Grade 2 (20f, heavy) 5 weeks ago, keeping on despite taking a strong hold. Type to do better again.

16/1
Authorized gelding who was 2-2 in bumpers and though made to work harder, maintained his 100% record when successful in a Cork maiden on hurdles debut in November. Step up to 2½m ought to suit on pedigree and very good prospect for all this rates a whole lot tougher.

FIREFOX, a useful 3-time winner in bumpers, marked himself down as one more than capable of making his mark at this level when successful on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse 6 weeks ago and earns the vote now upped in trip. Ile Atlantique, a similarly exciting prospect, may well emerge as the chief threat following his facile hurdles debut victory at Gowran. Croke Park could do best of the others in a race very much one to note.
