5/2 |
Barnahash Primrose
Made a winning debut in a bumper here last Christmas and then third in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in February; below-par in her final race (Listed) but brings plenty of potential to hurdling.

Huscari
2m AW winner in Britain but it was low-level stuff on the Flat and she's finished tailed off in both her hurdle starts.

Meitheal
Won bumpers at Galway and Cork on goodish ground but was beaten a long way on hurdling introduction at Cork; should be capable of better but don't see her winning this.

Neon Diamond
Won a heavy-ground bumper here in the spring before finding a Grade 3 assignment beyond her; ran okay to be fourth of 18 on hurdle debut at Cork but was a long way behind the Willie Mullins-trained winner.

Rue Taylor
Hexham bumper winner for previous yard; responded well for pressure to take second at Wexford (2m4f maiden) but that wasn't a strong race (winner since well held in a modest handicap); will need plenty more here.

Twentyfourcarrot
Fulfilled earlier promise when running away with a bumper here last month; RPR of 103 nothing to shout about but she's bred to make a hurdler.

Alright Darling
Insufficient promise in two Tramore maidens (2m5f) to warrant a second look here.

Tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in May and couldn't recommend.

- E Walsh / Ciaran Murphy

Diyaba
Record of 0-9 on the Flat at up to 1m4f and wasn't progressive; opposable on this switch to hurdling.

Je Suis
Did well in points but they weren't strong races and she was beaten 26l when fourth of 18 in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel; opposable.

Regards To Rose
Point winner; hung left up the straight and ultimately ran out at Wexford (held at the time); that was in a bumper and had previously finished a remote third on hurdling debut; others have stronger claims; now tongue-tied.

10/3 |
Sainte Tartare
Half-sister to five winners; sent off favourite for a maiden at Tramore (2m5f, soft to heavy; hooded) where her early exuberance ultimately cost her the race; the winner is useful, though, and they were clear; this nicer ground should be of benefit.

Tailed off in a bumper and pulled up in a maiden at Cork; held by some of these.

Uhavemeinstitches
Beaten a long way here in April but was so much better earlier this month at Clonmel (2m3f, yielding) when giving a talented Willie Mullins inmate something to think about; bred to do better again (out of an Irish Grand National winner) and seriously considered.

0-9 overall so more exposed than some of these; rated 102 and shouldn't be good enough.

Third reserve; completely tailed off in a bumper here last month; did go off at only 7-1.
