Bossofthebrownies
Placed three times over longer distances than this but best run yet when beaten 3.75l into fourth behind The Enabler at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding) latest; will have a future over fences in time but is a player here.

Did I Ask You That
Showed plenty of ability in bumpers and nice start over hurdles when placed over 2m6f in useful maiden at Punchestown on soft; likely to build on that here for top yard.

Forty Coats
Point-to-point winner; justified favouritism to win Naas bumper (soft to heavy) on rules debut; runner-up to the now Grade 1-placed Wingmen here on hurdling bow on return before filling same spot at Punchestown (third and fourth have won since); big player.

Jacob's Ladder
Point winner subsequently purchased for 110,000; touched off on bumper debut at Punchestown festival; won easily at Down Royal on return; something amiss when tailed off at Punchestown in November and only minor promise on hurdling bow; needs to improve.

Kainsbourg
Won two French AQPS Flat races in 2023, including a Grade 3; made 355,000euros at the sales soon after; related to plenty of jumps winners and looks sure to improve for the step up in trip after Irish/hurdles debut second over 2m at Limerick last month.

Lucky Jack
Fourth reported foal; dam unraced sister to dam of useful 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner Piton Pete, half-sister to smart 2m hurdle/chase winner Blueberry Boy; best watched.

Retreat Archie
Has shown very little in a point-to-point, an AW bumper and spin over hurdles at Christmas; impossible to recommend here.

Placed in three maiden hurdles in spring of 2022, including when going down narrowly over this trip at Fairyhouse; tipped up on handicap debut at Punchestown last May after lengthy absence; respectable fifth at Down Royal last month.
