Ability on the Flat and again on hurdling debut when a 6.75l fourth of 19 in a Leopardstown maiden (2m, yielding) in December; off since and could go close if the new tongue tie ekes out a bit more.

Flat winner for William Haggas achieved a peak rating of 81 in that sphere; soundly beaten on debut for this yard in a Dundalk claimer in December and is likely best watched on hurdles debut.

Modest Flat performer didn't run that badly in two previous maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Killarney but he's likely to be seen to better effect when tackling handicaps.

22-1 and beaten 34l when midfield over C&D (yielding) on debut here 19 days ago; may need a bit more time and experience.

Huge odds and tailed off on debut in a 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown; hard to fancy on that effort.

Soldier Of Fortune gelding; half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Harty Cup; dam bumper/2m4f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m1f/2m3f chase winner Sraid Padraig; one of three home-bred JP McManus debutants for yard; market best guide.

Third in both starts in academy hurdles and filled the same position in a 4yo maiden at Navan (2m, heavy) on latest, though was beaten 25l; best effort came on good to yielding ground so could do better now; rated 116; place chance.

Brave Mansonnien gelding; dam French maiden (Flat/jumps), half-sister to useful French 2m1f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner Echo D'Estruval; yard capable of readying one and won this in 2024 so check the market.

Bumper winner on good to soft in France; rated 126 after four runs over hurdles; soundly beaten in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham off that mark on latest but his previous Punchestown second behind Too Bossy For Us was promising; Harry Cobden a notable booking and he holds leading claims.

One of three for yard; Motivator gelding; E27,000 3yo; third foal; dam French 1m-12.5f winner, half-sister to French 2m4f/2m6f cross-country chase winner Speed Victory, out of prolific French 1m1f-13.5f winner Taraison; in good hands and needs checking in the market.

Walk In The Park gelding; brother to point/2m3f hurdle winner That's Nice; dam multiple AQPS Flat and useful 2m/2m2f hurdle winner, half-sister to winners Felicidad (2m4f hurdle/chase) and Ecossais (2m2f-3m2f chase); one of three home-bred debutants for yard; market can guide.

One of three for yard; pulled up at Gowran on debut and tailed off over this C&D 19 days ago; hard to make a case for him.

Walk In The Park gelding; dam 2m3f hurdle winner, half-sister to winners Gilgamboa (high-class 2m-3m hurdle/chase) and Stealthy Tom (useful 2m4f-3m1f chase); one of three home-bred debutants for yard; check market.

Flat winner for James Ferguson last year; was running okay on hurdles debut when unseating at Leopardstown but tailed off twice since; tongue tie now tried.

One of three for yard; 50-1 and was near the back and under pressure when brought down two out on debut at Naas 32 days ago; likely best watched for now.

Ocovango filly; dam point winner/third in bumper, half-sister to 2m hurdle winner Shanroe Society, out of 9.4f-1m5f Flat and 2m hurdle winner; watching brief advised on debut.

First reserve; second effort over this C&D was better than his first at Thurles but huge improvement required to get involved here.
