Billericay Dickie
Won on his hurdles debut at Punchestown in January; broadly disappointing since including when looking beaten two out when falling on his chase debut at Listowel; looks the stable third-string here.

Captain Cody
Progressive and consistent novice hurdler last season, winning a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse; not seen since a beaten favourite in a Grade 3 handicap hurdle at Punchestown in May; unproven over the trip and might well be best watched this time.

Cleatus Poolaw
1-6 over hurdles and rated 133 in that sphere; makes chasing debut after a 205 day absence; best form is on soft ground and already proven himself a strong stayer; should go well.

Nas Na Riogh
Improved in the spring, winning his maiden hurdle here and knuckled down strongly to win a 2m4f novice hurdle at Killarney; looks a chasing type and the step up in trip likely to be up his street; interesting debutant.

Now Is The Hour
Grade 2 novice hurdle winner over 3m at Haydock in February where he won by a big margin on heavy ground; second on his chase debut at Cork in March when last seen; rain will suit and likely to run a big race.

Sa Majeste
Beat Noble Yeats in a hurdle race at Limerick last December; satisfactory chase debut when runner-up to a very useful stayer at Galway last month; should put him spot on for this.

Shannon Royale
Two-time winner over hurdles and proved himself a very effective stayer; fifth in a Listed novice handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in March when last seen; likely to come on for whatever he does here.
