Speculatrix
Narrow winner of a Punchestown bumper on debut early last year; not seen until a respectable sixth of 16 in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree towards the end of last season; failed to build on that in Grade 3 contest at the Punchestown festival; presumably has had issues, but the bar is set low for her hurdling debut.

Ad Caelum
Two maiden hurdle runs; improved from her Clonmel debut when a 6l runner-up over 2m4f at Kilbeggan in June; dropped away quickly from two furlongs down in a bumper at Listowel eight days ago.

Showed little in point-to-points and next to nothing over hurdles so far; decent pedigree.

Love Like This
Second in a pair of Sligo maiden hurdles in August, both races won by a well-fancied horse from a top stable; jumping was ragged when a disappointing fourth at Kilbeggan; unplaced on handicap debut at Ballinrobe and again well below her best at Downpatick.
