Camelot gelding out of half-sister to Derby winner Motivator; promise in maidens and off the mark on handicap debut at Punchestown last month (odds-on), clear with second when just holding on in testing conditions; 7lb rise makes this tough but still unexposed and better ground could bring further improvement.

Atomic Queen
Useful bumper form (winning at Limerick) and stepped forward hugely from underwhelming hurdles debut effort to land 2m2f Downpatrick mares maiden in August, quickening up well from the last to beat a hot favourite 5l (good); hasn't raced on ground this soft so slight concerns on that score but could go well if handling conditions on handicap debut.

Dual Flat winner also won modest 2m Listowel maiden hurdle over the summer (good) but soundly beaten in Lartigue at Listowel; recent AW run should have brought him on but mark remains on the high side.

Has gathered fair bit of experience, winning Kilbeggan maiden and solid form in novice events, albeit latterly over longer trips; more needed to play a major role on handicap debut.

Tramore maiden winner ran well in 2m4f Thurles novice and some good recent AW form; one to consider although ground possibly softer than ideal.

Ran away with Galway maiden in September in first-time hood but safely held twice after including Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; fit from recent AW run and ground shouldn't be a problem.

The Store Boy
Lightly-raced 5yo made promising enough debut at Tramore in May but hasn't improved as expected both starts since, albeit much stronger maiden last time at Navan when not seeming to get home in testing conditions; remains a potential improver on handicap debut.

Welluknow
Definite signs of ability in maidens on varying ground before breakthrough in 2m Gowran novice handicap last month, coming home strongly to get up late to beat a long-time clear leader on heavy; type to keep improving but will need to here off 8lb higher mark, and will need a strong pace.

Twice runner-up in handicaps before Wexford win in October off 104; odds-on to follow up at Cork following month but no match for a ready winner; still prone to jumping errors and others preferred.

True Testimony
Career-best when getting off the mark last month in 2m5f Fairyhouse mares handicap chase off a mark of 123; not sure this drop in trip will be in her favour but has to be greatly respected off 16lb lower hurdles mark.

Jacko Star
Unexposed 4yo (out of yard's smart mare Jackonslady) has shaped nicely in three maiden runs, latest when never-nearer fourth at Gowran last month; likely improver now handicapping and one to keep an eye on in the market.

Scored twice on Flat in France and landed 2m2f Downpatrick novice hurdle for current yard over the summer; subject of running and riding inquiry when pulled up at Cheltenham last month (reportedly raced too keen); can't rule out him bouncing back.

Definite signs of ability in maidens and a bumper in 2024; returned from 14 months' absence in fine fettle to land 2m Navan handicap 12 days ago, up with pace throughout and seeing it out strongly despite fluffing the last; 8lb rise looks workable and big player.

Maiden's best run came when second in Kilbeggan maiden last term on better ground; absent since June and probably best watched on handicap debut unless market suggests otherwise.

Three-time chase winner has gone close off lower hurdles mark recently in 2m Thurles handicaps; 4lb higher now so more needed.
