Asisaid
Won twice at a modest level on the Flat, effective at 7f/1m, rated 56 at the end of last season; never close enough to challenge on hurdling debut at Down Royal.

Brave Brigadier
Ran a promising race in Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut to chase home a wide-margin Willie Mullins winner; again found a Mullins runner much too strong at the same venue on his second attempt; needs to settle better.

Enge Hazard
Three-time Flat winner in Sweden, apparently suited by 1m4f and good ground; made a satisfactory Irish debut two seasons ago but not seen since

Completely tailed off in a bumper at Punchestown; similar in a maiden hurdle at Thurles.

God Help Me
Second in a point at Kirkistown last season, a race that has worked out well; failed to make much impact when well fancied for a bumper at Leopardstown at Christmas

6/4 |
Grey Pharoh
Left his point form behind when runner-up in a Punchestown maiden hurdle, pulling a long way clear with a Willie Mullins-trained favourite; Free Flow (25l back in third) has advertised the form by winning a maiden at Thurles; tongue-tie on now.

Jukebox Johnny
Stayed on for second in a maiden point at Aghabullogue in January; has joined Henry de Bromhead; pedigree implies he may need further than this.

Krak
Promising efforts to finish third over 2m4f at Leopardstown and extended 2m2f at Naas; form ties with maiden winners Koktail Divin and Kalix Delabarriere; could be hard to beat now.

Le Grand Peinture
Mild promise in a pair of bumpers on testing ground for his previous trainer; tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Naas in January; gave an encouraging display when fourth at Leopardstown on stable debut; more needed.

Peaceinthevalley
Failed to complete in two starts in points for Pat Doyle; unlucky not to collect at Ballindenisk last May, in control when unseating at the last; has joined a top stable; capable of building on his introduction to hurdling at Naas.

Prove Yourself
Lacks a recent run but showed definite promise in bumpers for Mark Fahey; second twice, including behind the useful Fleur In The Park (now a 133-rated hurdler) at Roscommon in 2023.

Fourth in a small-field bumper, considerable improvement needed from hurdling debut at Leopardstown.

Zoffman
Two wins and placed 11 times on the Flat (from 22 starts); signed off last season with a second over 1m4f at Cork off a respectable 91; suited by some ease in the ground; interesting recruit to hurdling

Zuzukel
French import was a major eyecatcher at Down Royal on Monday, the subject of a running and riding inquiry; given an exaggerated hold-up ride, tailed off with a circuit to run, gradually improved under tender handling; the trainer reported that a post-race scope showed signs of mucus and blood; hooded now for quick reappearance.

Modest form on the Flat for Willie McCreery, rated 54 after six starts; best watched on hurdling/stable debut.
