An Epic Song
Touched off by Langer Dan in last year's Coral Cup; hasn't shown much in two starts over fences; jumped left when beaten a long way in race won by Gaelic Warrior here and, after four months off, again not fluent at Cork; up against it.

Ataboycharlie
Won a novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown and only touched off by Eagle Fang here in May; that winner ran a stormer when third in the Lismullen Hurdle at Navan last week; absence to overcome on chasing bow.

Ballyburn
Perfect 3-3 at Punchestown, including when landing the Grade 1 hat-trick in Champion Novice Hurdle here in May after success in the Gallagher Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham; won his sole point-to-point in emphatic fashion and looks unopposable here.

Dee Capo
Won three times last season (bumper/hurdles) but was pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 on bottomless ground in March; made little impression off top weight in Listed hurdle (20.5f, soft) here in May; improvement needed; holds Hatton's Grace entry.

Doctor Glide
Distant fourth behind Firefox and Ballyburn on debut at Fairyhouse; couple of good efforts in defeat in maiden hurdles during the spring; much more needed on chasing bow.

Gold Dancer
One of three for the yard; 2m2f hurdle winner on heavy in France; struggled up in class in two runs for this stable; looks the yard's second string on this occasion.

Hillsdale
Got off the mark in a handicap hurdle from a rating of 94 last season but was beaten out of sight on chasing debut on return; readily passed over.

Ocastle Des Mottes
French hurdle winner disappointed when sent off a well-backed favourite for the Betfair Hurdle and has disappointed in three subsequent starts in that sphere; he's in top hands but looks the least enticing of the Willie Mullins trio.

Got off the mark over hurdles at Naas in March but never figured here on chasing debut last month; no chance in this field.

Release The Beast
Justified favouritism on debut in an ordinary Galway maiden hurdle last October but has regressed since, beaten a combined 66l at Fairyhouse and Navan; first-time tongue-tie; hard to warm to on chasing debut.

Crecora Hills
Seemingly improved for the step up in trip when comfortably landing Naas handicap hurdle (19.5f, soft) when last seen in April; even if she can replicate that level of form sent chasing, she has plenty to find here.

Miss Pronunciation
Looked a transformed horse last season, winning all three starts over hurdles and is now rated 130 in that sphere; one of those victories came around here; more required but she could still be improving; would appreciate rain.

Only By Night
Ran up a hat-trick in bumpers and a maiden hurdle last season; not up to Grade 1 level at Fairyhouse in March before solid third in Listed hurdle (16.5f, yielding) here when last seen; won Lingstown point-to-point emphatically; not out of things.
