Musta Lovea Lovea
Useful form in maidens at Naas last season, notably when third behind subsequent Supreme Novices' winner Slade Steel; encouraging start to the season when fourth in this year's corresponding race last month; below best in 2m4f Navan handicap latest but could bounce back.

Therellbguddaysyet
Improved significantly when getting up late to win a Thurles maiden hurdle (20.5f, good) last month; wasn't disgraced in a 3m Grade 3 at Cork latest; drop in trip should suit on his handicap debut but might want good ground.

Dumb Love
Consistent level of form since the end of the summer, winning a 2m1f maiden hurdle on good ground at Sedgefield and running well in defeat on the Flat since; contender on her handicap debut in this sphere; engaged 1.45 Leopardstown on Thursday.

Malbay Madness
Galway festival winner on the Flat last season for Emmet Mullins; disappointed when sent off favourite for Galway festival handicap hurdle during the summer; never figured on first run for new yard at Listowel; the jury is out.

Nathan Wells
Yet to figure majorly in seven starts over hurdles; badly hampered by a faller and unseated rider three out at Down Royal in March; tailed off at Naas in April; with a top yard but still difficult to recommend on his return.

New York Style
Interrupted campaign but showed ability when second in Wexford bumper on debut back in 2022; mistake two out proved costly in Tipperary mares' maiden hurdle when odds-on in May; strong in the betting when poor at Listowel on handicap debut but it's still early days.

Aboy Joey
Runner-up twice in the spring and was a solid fourth off this mark at Wexford on his penultimate start; better than the bare result when eighth of 15 at Clonmel latest; one of the more likely candidates; first-time cheekpieces might help.

On Your Way
Best maiden form came over this trip, notably when third over C&D in October; well beaten in Tipperary handicap (20.5f) last month but eyecatcher when just behind Aboy Joey at Clonmel latest; won't need to improve much to figure; watch the market.

Liberated Light
Flat winner who was third at Cork over hurdles (18.5f, good to yielding) in August from a mark of 103; 5lb lower now sporting first-time cheekpieces but this trip looks too sharp for this hold-up performer.

Maiden hurdle form is not without merit but he has been well beaten on his first two handicap starts, including on first run for this yard at Cork latest; passed over here.

Wardens Whisper
Struggled here on first handicap but showed dramatic improvement when third in Tipperary contest last month; runner-up and stablemate Duffys Hodey franked the form with wide-margin Clonmel win; good second at Cork since, no match for the winner; entitled to be bang there.

Bid Up
Finished quite well when fifth on his hurdles debut at Listowel and would have been closer but for a couple of late mistakes when fifth at Cork latest (behind Wardens Whisper); this stiff track should play to his strengths; each-way possibilities.

Fear The Deere
Yet to threaten in nine starts although ran one of his better races when fifth of 15 at Thurles over 2m4f latest; still, he is difficult to recommend taking everything into account.

Eikonix
Has refused to race a couple of times in the past and can often be troublesome at the start; wasn't without support when midfield on stable debut; much more needed to figure; first-time hood added to tongue-tie.
