Champagne Jury
Bumper winner gave Honesty Policy something to think about when a 1.25l runner up on hurdling debut at Leopardstown (2m, yielding) in March; had an excuse (coughing) for below par run when last seen in April; leading claims if fit for return.

Green Angel
Modest fourth in a Loughanmore point-to-point in April; off since and sports a tongue-tie for Rules' debut; yard's runners always respected here so check the market.

Los Blanco
0-4 over hurdles and rated 119; beaten 1l in a Gowran handicap (2m, heavy) off 115 on latest; has run okay on quicker ground and he should go well returned to maiden company in a first-time tongue tie.

Large Steps
Valirann gelding; E36,000 3yo; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m5f-3m hurdle/chase winner Major Malarkey, out of unraced half-sister to high-class staying chaser Valley Henry; best watched on debut unless the market speaks.

Colin's Friend
Tailed off in a Navan bumper in March and not much better in a Thurles maiden hurdle in November; may need a bit more time.

In good hands but not many positives to take from his runs in a Clonmel maiden hurdle and Naas bumper; major improvement required.

Written In My Soul
Runner-up in sole point-to-point; no impact in a pair of maiden hurdles at the backend of last year (beaten 39l when fifth in this race a year ago); may do better when tackling handicaps.
