He Can't Dance
Point-to-point winner reached a decent standard in bumpers last season, winning at Navan and running creditably in top events at Leopardstown and Cheltenham; two 2m6f maiden hurdle runs this term underwhelming however, emptying quite quickly after forcing much of pace at Galway and Punchestown; tongue-tied now.

Minella Supreme
Enjoyed a good spell earlier in the season, winning 2m3f Downpatrick bumper and 2m4f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle; after a short break didn't appear to get home over 3m in Cheltenham novice in late October; back in trip here with tongue-tie tried.

Some Song
Won a Ballysteen point-to-point (yielding) for Pierce Power and ran out a fortunate winner when left in the lead at the last on hurdles debut at Down Royal (2m6f) in late October; much more on his plate here.

William Tell
Nicely progressive of late, winning 2m3f Cork maiden in August (good) and returned from 108-day absence when handling softer conditions well in C&D novice last month, travelling well into the race and seeing it out strongly; this looks a deeper race, so more likely needed.

Reiki Revolution
Ran well in defeat in maidens and novice races for Philip Rothwell; opened account on yard debut when running away with 2m4f Punchestown maiden in October but following month dropped out quickly on heavy ground in valuable 2m5f Navan handicap when this headgear combination tried; respected back on better ground.

Okay efforts in mares' maidens at Wexford and Cork in the Spring, way below best on last month's return in Naas bumper on heavy ground; better ground to suit but needs to improve back hurdling.

Jisco Du Brem
Kilbeggan bumper winner over the summer (good) whose opening two hurdle efforts have been disappointing, cheekpieces having no beneficial effect last time at Clonmel; may need more time to make his mark hurdling.

Obey The Order
Point-to-point winner showed some promise on opening maiden hurdles at Tipperary and Gowran but met trouble in running at Punchestown last time so that run ignored; remains unproven over this far.

Long Branch
Point-to-point winner last year is 0-5 hurdling, some okay runs in maidens; may have got a bit closer but for being hampered at last on recent handicap debut at Cork (3m), so could prove a bit of each-way value here with talented rider's 7lb claim and light weight.
