Bacchanalian
Off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in a conditions event at Fairyhouse last month having run well in two maidens; respectable sixth of eight behind Hello Neighbour in Grade 1 at Dublin Racing Festival; a week later, made all and showed a good attitude to win a seven-runner rated hurdle over C&D.

Good To Be Alive
Took advantage of a poor effort from a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance when making a winning debut in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse early this month; more on his plate now but may hold his own.

Signed off on the Flat with a 1m6f handicap off a mark of 58 at Navan last October; outran his 28-1 odds when third over C&D on hurdles debut last month, despite running keenly; showed the same tendency but again produced a decent effort when second to a Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Gowran eight days ago; amateur rider unable to use his claim.

Shoda
Galway maiden winner over 1m4f last July; raced keenly when below form in a Listed event at the same venue in October; made a competent hurdling debut when third at Limerick; faces a crucial rematch with runner-up Bacchanalian who has picked up further experience in the interim.
