Affinity Rock
Wide margin point-to-point win at Dromahane in November; 28-1 and not disgraced when beaten 21l into sixth of 18 on hurdles debut at Naas (19.5f, good to yielding); might be suited by this step up in trip and she could go well if handling the ground.

Creadan Grace
Debutante is an eighth foal; half-sister to winners Creadan Grae (useful 2m4f chase) and October Revolution (2m6f/3m chase); dam sister to bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner John James, family of Irish St Leger winner Oscar Schindler; daughter of Kingston Hill in good hands and nicely bred; interesting.

Cullig
Failed to hit the frame in two bumpers and 0-3 in maiden hurdles; tongue tie goes on after a 30l defeat at Naas when last seen in December; others hold more pressing claims.

Joshua's Daylami
Promise in two of her four bumpers, including when 15l behind subsequent DRF winner Bambino Fever at this venue on New Year's Eve; dam is a half-sister to a strong stayer so this trip might suit on hurdles debut; keep an eye on the market.

Was beaten when falling in first point-to-point; beaten 18l when completing at Knockmullen House in November; may need more time and probably best watched on hurdling bow.

Knocknagoran Lady
0-5 over hurdles and rated 86; beaten 8.5l off that mark in a Cork handicap when last seen in December; unlikely to be good enough to win this.

Mayo Shirocco
Won a good to yielding ground point-to-point at Tattersalls in October 2024; that form is hard to weigh up and she will likely encounter very different ground here but she clearly has some level of ability; could run well on Rules' debut.

Milanaway
One of two for yard; 100 rated mare has ability but has struggled for consistency; was only beaten a nose off 99 in a mares' handicap hurdle at Tipperary in November but has disappointed both starts since; hard to know what to expect from her returned to maiden company.

Neska Blue
Second runner for yard; 0-3 in point-to-points and was 80-1 when well beaten in a Limerick bumper on her racecourse debut last month; steps markedly up in trip and can only be watched on her hurdling debut.
