Whats New
Flat winner has a kink in him, and has twice run out, but solid seconds last twice and there was good money for him last time when clear of the remainder at Sligo, beaten around 2l by 115-rated rival; ground suits and this is a good opportunity.

Affinisea half-brother to 2m3f/3m hurdle winner Cosmo Renfro; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Shang Tang, out of bumper/2m hurdle winner.

First Ascent
Godolphin cast-off related to Group winners; decent maiden form last summer for Matt Smith, including narrow defeat in 10.5f maiden at Down Royal, and raced off 78 when last seen in that sphere (Whats New is 62 on the Flat); lame on hurdles debut; after seven months off, beaten 20l at Sligo in May where jumping was novicey late on.

Fancied for two points but failed to complete; 30l fourth over 2m4f on hurdling debut at Limerick gives him something to build on.

Sharu
Unplaced in two bumpers before hurdling debut sixth at Tramore; 2-1 fav at Kilbeggan, travelled well to challenge but stuck his head up on the run-in and was inclined to lug in behind the winner; that raises a concern and bit to find with Whats New on the figures.

World As One
Waldgeist gelding is a sibling of nine winners, notably smart hurdler Colonel Mustard; beaten favourite all starts; one-paced in two bumpers over farther; no extra in fifth on hurdling bow at Roscommon, after being messed about by a loose horse and making mistakes; a less eventful contest should see a better performance in a first-time tongue-tie.

Lady Felicia
Homebred Jukebox Jury mare whose dam was useful 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; fine run when 100-1 in 2m maiden hurdle here, beaten 17l and splitting two subsequent winners; gets an extra furlong here, but will probably want 2m4f before long; still, should go well in first-time tongue-tie.
