Final Demand
Lingstown point winner last season and made easy work of a Limerick maiden hurdle on rules bow over Christmas; that form is working out very nicely with the 15l runner-up defying an opening mark of 118 on handicap debut and the third winning since too; wasn't fluent at the last couple of obstacles and that's the concern stepping up in class but will be hard to beat with a clear round and he's the first-string too; yard won this last year.

I Am Lorenzo
Shaped like he would appreciate a step up in distance when an eyecatching sixth here last season; runner-up when a beaten favourite over this sort of trip on return at Galway but ran a cracker when beaten a head here (2m4f, good to yielding) in December (third from that race has won since); shaped like the return to further would suit and worth his place up in grade.

Impressive win in last year's Champion Bumper and spread a plate when a beaten favourite at Punchestown; landed the odds in a maiden hurdle at Navan on return but made errors and it was a similar story in the Lawlor's of Naas when fourth (11-8fav); now tried with cheekpieces and should stay this trip but needs a clear round.

Joystick
2m4f heavy ground bumper winner here last season; has made errors in a couple of starts over hurdles this term but seemed to relish the return to very testing ground to win at Naas last month; his action also suggests he wants plenty of cut so he'll likely need a fair amount of rain to arrive.

Followed up maiden hurdle success with a facile handicap hurdle win off 116; beaten from revised mark at Punchestown but bounced back with a Grade 3 win at Cork in December; won going away that day and the form of that race looks okay without being spectacular (runner-up ran to similar level when third in Grade 2 since); has an each-way shout if he's not caught out by dropping in distance.

Justified favouritism in a Limerick bumper on sole start last term; ran a cracker when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on return, shaping like further would suit and made easy work of a Limerick maiden hurdle when stepped up to 2m3f over Christmas; pedigree suggests he may improve for further again but others bring stronger form to the table and the yard have been a little quiet since the turn of the year.

Narrowly denied in a bumper here last season before landing Punchestown bumper; eyecatching fourth in the Champion Bumper and then filled the same spot at Punchestown; made errors when turned over at short odds on return and similar story when successful at in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle; further will suit but others have stronger form.

Off the mark at the third attempt in heavy ground bumper last term and has run to a similar level in three hurdle starts so far, gaining first win at Galway on yard debut before a close up third in a Thurles novice hurdle; will need to step up on that level of form but interesting that he's the pick of Sam Ewing.

Supersundae
Tough ask on yard debut and ran with credit to finish seventh in last year's Supreme; didn't need to improve to land a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in May and stuck to the task when an 8l runner-up in the Lawlor's Of Naas behind The Yellow Clay; return to further should suit but could do with settling better and now tried with first-time hood and tongue-tie.

Point winner and won two of his three bumper starts; made easy work of a maiden hurdle before finishing runner-up in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham and closely matched with Supersundae after finishing third in the Lawlor's Of Naas; will need to improve for further this time.

Dual bumper winner who won a maiden hurdle at Galway in October; two good runs in defeat in Grade 2s since but has a fair bit to find in this company.

World Of Fortunes
Won a Wexford bumper that worked out well in May 2023 and has looked progressive since the summer, rattling off a hat-trick that included a Listed contest at Limerick in October; didn't seem to appreciate a switch of tactics when fourth in a mares' Grade 3 behind July Flower over Christmas; may bounce back with first-time cheekpieces on and not ruled out each-way if the rain stays away (best form on good/yielding ground).
