Barbizon
Very useful on the Flat for John Murphy, winning two from four (including on yielding to soft) and achieving a rating of 101; always going well when scoring readily from subsequent Fairyhouse winner Ben Hur on hurdling debut at Navan; trainer saddled Mange Tout to beat Narciso Has at Fairyhouse; strong contender.

Ben Hur
Three runs on the Flat, rated 72; satisfactory effort when seventh of 23 over 1m4f at the Curragh on final Flat start; kept on after a mistake two out to finish second behind Barbizon on hurdles debut at Navan; upheld form with the winner's third-placed stablemate Wackestone when winning at Fairyhouse.

Kasper Hauser
Has looked like a possible future winner on occasion; however, seems out of his depth here, judged on his form in maidens and a remote fifth in a race at this level at Cheltenham last month.

Narciso Has
Beat a subsequent winner first time out at Auteuil in April; had a spell in the lead before being mastered by the race-fit Mange Tout in a Grade 3 event at Fairyhouse, drawing clear of third-placed Adrienne.

Ran four times on the Flat in France; handled soft when winning over 1m4f on debut in July; narrowly beaten in three subsequent outings over further; trainer won this last year with hurdling newcomer Hello Neighbour.

Puppet Master
2-7 for Aidan O'Brien; built on the promise of Ballysax fourth behind Delacroix when winning the Derby Trial at Lingfield; in rear in the Irish Derby; never looked happy when last of four in a St Leger trial at the Curragh; Lingfield win was on good-to-firm ground, but won a Galway maiden on soft at two; 78,000gns recruit to this yard; has been gelded.

Quinta Do Lago
Ran green when winning an academy hurdle at Cork; cause helped when his nearest pursuer blundered badly at the last; put that experience to good use when winning a maiden at Punchestown, a lot more on his plate now.

Adrienne
Flat maiden who ran well on several occasions in defeat; won well at Fairyhouse on second hurdles run; no match for the promising Mange Tout and Narciso Has when stepped up in class at the same venue.

In My Teens
98-rated Flat winner; weakened late into fourth when making hurdles debut at Punchestown; unseated at first when 11-1 chance in Grade 3 Fairyhouse event; apparent second-string for the owner of Narisco Has and the trainer of North Shore.

Thilos
Regressive Flat maiden for Joseph O'Brien; huge price when a never-dangerous sixth behind Ben Hur on hurdles/stable debut at Fairyhouse.
