Ennell Shadow
Brother to point/bumper winner Dream Shadow, half-brother to five winners including Shadow Eile (bumper; 1m6f Flat, RPR 86; useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase); well held in a point last month; likely up against it on rules debut here.

Scodar
Cost 30,000 GBP as a 3yo; dam unraced half-sister to French winners Clidan (2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase), Melcar (2m2f chase), Karnag (13.5f Flat and 2m4f cross-country) and Dumesco (2m6f cross-country) pulled up in sole point start last year; might need further than this.

Journey So Far
Fell when still firmly involved in a point won by a well bred rival now with Harry Derham; brother to 2m hurdle/chase winner Ryan's Rocket, half-brother to winners Powerstown Park (useful 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase), Grageelagh Girl (bumper/2m3f hurdle) and Tom Cody (2m3f-3m chase); interesting to see if there's money for him on rules debut but others appeal more.

Kish Bank
Point winner who landed the odds when winning a Punchestown bumper on rules debut; beaten favourite when fifth in a Galway maiden hurdle in October but may have needed that first run in 10 months; likely to bounce back.

Reliable Man gelding; dam unraced half-sister to French 1m2f-1m5f winner Casimir, out of French 9.5f-1m3f winning half-sister to Italian 1m4f Group 3 winner Aynthia; likely best watched on debut.

Coral River
Runner-up in trio of bumpers (two over further than this) but didn't jump well when tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Naas earlier this month; needs to leave that behind but has each-way claims if he gets back to the level of his bumper form.

Gillane
Runner-up in a point; showed ability when a distant sixth in a bumper last month on rules debut; drop in trip may not help now hurdling.

Belle The Tigress
Showed ability when a 40-1 fifth of 21 in a maiden hurdle at Navan on debut; built on that when beaten just 2l at Naas since and the fourth, fifth and sixth from that contest have all hit the crossbar subsequently; ought to go well.

Westerner mare; half-sister to unbeaten point, bumper and 2m/2m3f hurdle winner Credrojava; dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner Eilise's A Lady and 2m7f chase/3m1f hurdle winner Sporting Ace; may need further.

Stretchemout
Point winner who shaped okay on rules debut 12 days ago but might not appreciate the shorter trip here.
