Twice a beaten favourite, EARLY BIRD is worth another chance after a close-up fourth at Leopardstown that gives her a slight edge over Jo's Secret. Riding plans help to make a case for Tricksofthetrade, who has point-to-point experience, and newcomer Cinnabar Moth. [Alan Sweetman]

Fine effort when 50-1 on debut at Tramore last August, chasing home Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance More Koko who has won twice over hurdles; Bellewstown run may have come too soon, only 12 days later; should strip fitter following a mid-field run at Thurles two weeks ago.
5-2 favourite for her debut at Limerick in December when faded in the straight to finish a remote sixth; again favorite at Leopardstown and produced an improved display to finish a close fourth after running prominently throughout.
Second in a point-to-point at Knockmullen House during the autumn campaign; got tired late when fifth at Leopardstown at the beginning of the month; closely matched with Early Bird.
First foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful winners Prince Of Scars and Folsom Blue, out of smart bumper and 2m hurdler Spirit Leader; equipped with hood and tongue-tie.
Made the frame in three starts in points for Harley Dunne; second in a four-runner contest at Quakerstown in November; dam, placed in bumpers, stout pedigree; points form in nothing special but in good hands with a top rider booked.
