Genepi George
Getaway 6yo cost 35,000Euros as a foal and 15,000Euros as a 3yo; closely related to 2m7f hurdle/3m chase winner Brandisova, half-brother to point winner Twasn't The Plan; dam 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner, sister to 3m1f chase winner Ballinhassig; market best guide on debut.

L' Evangeliste
Locally trained; won Quakerstown point-to-point for Daniel Murphy last season (soft) and started favourite on yard debut in 2m2f bumper here at Christmas, not quite getting home when third; slightly shorter trip here could suit and likely contender.

Moonshine Ranger
Beaten a long way in valuable Fairyhouse bumper on debut a year ago and pulled up on hurdles debut in December; can only be watched.

Fifth foal; 19,000euros yearling, 45,000euros 3yo; brother to point winner Full Of Life; dam French 2m1f-2m7f hurdle/chase (inc cross-country) winner; making rapid headway when falling in Borris House point-to-point last season and surprising favourite on rules debut in Fairyhouse bumper last month but effort shortlived when well beaten fifth; this likely a weaker contest so can't be ruled out.

Didn't count on bumper debut here at Christmas and hard to see him making the required improvement.

Cheaply bought Arctic Cosmos 5yo whose dam was a maiden half-sister to winners Foggy's Wall (bumper/2m2f hurdle), Suncroft (bumper) and Flash In The Park (2m4f chase); best watched on debut.

Has struggled in bumpers at Naas and Fairyhouse this term; safe to rule out.

Watchful Protector
Cheap store purchase with a staying pedigree but ran well on debut when clear C&D third in January and looked in need of further when well beaten third in 2m Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last month; seems likely to need a greater stamina test to fulfil his potential but still has to be respected.
