Aclass
One of two for yard; showed promise in two bumper runs last year on heavy at Limerick and Navan; failed to figure on hurdles debut after a 131 day absence at Ballinrobe in May; back from another break here and is best watched.

Ag Obair Go Crua
Second runner for yard; beaten 27l on debut at Naas in April and 77l at Ballinrobe in May; off since and looks more of a handicap prospect.

Buckaway Freddie
Good run on heavy on debut in a Naas bumper in February; failed to build on that a month later on soft at Leopardstown and not seen since; top yard and this half-brother to the talented Slate House should do better over hurdles; chance.

Chef's Kiss
Point-to-point winner on heavy in March; went unsold for 26,000 at Cheltenham the following month; traffic problems when third in a 2m2f bumper on good at Downpatrick when last seen in May; yard in terrific form and he is worth a market check.

Danny By Boy
Jumped poorly when pulled up at 40-1 on debut in a Galway maiden hurdle last month on soft; local yard has been amongst the winners but can only be watched after that effort.

Downmexicoway
Point-to-point winner back in February 2023; touched off on first start for this top yard after long absence on hurdles debut at Galway (soft) last month; could gain compensation here; leading chance.

Karniquet
French recruit; placed in two 4yo hurdles at Pau and Auteuil on testing ground earlier this year; half-brother to the talented Gemirande; top yard does well with these types and fitness shouldn't be an issue; very interesting on Irish debut.

Olympy De Cerisy
Second runner for local yard; point-to-point winner placed in three of four runs in bumpers, including on latest at Wexford when a beaten 1-4 favourite; ran well enough on sole start over timber in a Galway maiden on penultimate (16.5f, yielding); heavy ground fine and he could go well.

Southgate Avenue
Was beaten 57l when a 66-1 shot for his racecourse debut in a Tipperary maiden hurdle (20.5f, soft); related to winners so should do better at some stage but may need more time.

Uppertown Hill
Second runner for in form yard; fourth foal; brother to 2m hurdle winner Marelly; dam point winner, sister to bumper and 2m4f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Soft Spoken Guy, half-sister to bumper, 1m4f/1m6f Flat and 2m hurdle winner Rupununi; Sageburg gelding is worth a market check.

Zentopia
Dual-purpose maiden; has shown modest ability on the AW on the Flat (rated 61); turf form is poor in both codes; 0-2 over hurdles; beaten 80l at Fairyhouse and pulled up at Wexford on latest; hard to fancy.

Crescent Moon
Runner up in her sole point-to-point on heavy and filled the same position on her racecourse debut when 5-4 favourite for a Naas bumper in April; off since but in good hands and yard can ready one; chance if fit in a first-time tongue tie.

Grainne A Chroi
Point-to-point winner on soft to heavy; placed in her first two bumpers on soft and heavy ground; may have needed her latest run when sixth at Listowel; interesting hurdling debutant.

Uhavemeinstitches
First reserve; not disgraced when sixth of 16 on her debut in a Limerick maiden hurdle on testing ground but was still beaten 30l; off 221 days and probably best watched if getting a run unless the market speaks in her favour.

River Vale
Second reserve; point-to-point winner on good; struggled in two maiden hurdles on easy ground; may need a sounder surface; others appeal more.
