Big Ned
Leading Light gelding out of a bumper and hurdles winner pulled up in his sole point-to-point start at Ballyragget last month; from a good family so ought to be capable of better at some point but may need more time.

Coup D'etat
Standout effort a 1.5l second over this C&D (good) in October; nowhere near that level in other three runs and was beaten 31l on latest at Navan in November; off since and probably best watched.

Doctor Dino gelding cost 55,000euros as a 3yo; first foal; dam French 2m1f chase winner, half-sister to French winners Invincible Dina and Ches Demonmirail, both by Doctor Dino, family of very smart staying chaser Lord Du Mesnil; interesting newcomer from top yard and respected.

Dream Diamond
Placed in 2m maiden hurdles here and at Gowran on yielding ground in first two starts under Rules; tailed off on soft ground in a Navan bumper when last seen in January; best watched stepping up in trip.

Eastbank Warrior
Placed twice in bumpers and in a maiden hurdle; best effort in this sphere a 2.5l second behind the now 127 rated Blaze The Way at Thurles (2m, heavy) last March; off since third of 14 in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe in August; chance if he's fit for his return and yard have a good strike rate in bumpers.

Go To Town
Sent off 66-1 and finished a 24l fifth of 11 on debut at Navan (2m, soft); this step up in trip should suit; could outrun likely odds.

Jack The Lad
Wide margin UK point-to-point winner for John Dawson in December; bought for 120,000GBP at the Cheltenham sales later that month; beaten 15l on Rules' and stable debut in a 2m2f Gowran bumper last month; should strip fitter now; interesting.

Kashchei
Just mild promise in good ground UK bumpers for Sam Drinkwater; similar story when sixth on Irish debut in a 2m3f Clonmel maiden hurdle (2m3f, heavy); should come on for that but needs more reverting to this sphere.

Lacaduv
Doctor Dino gelding cost 40,000euros as yearling and 185,000euros as a 3yo; second foal; dam Listed-placed 1m2f/1m4f winner (RPR 101), half-sister to useful 2m3f hurdle winner Montdragon; tongue tied for debut but in good hands and worth a market check.

Mojoe
Sent off at 20-1 for his debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) and showed definite promise, outpaced but keeping on for a 14.5l fourth of 10; this longer trip should suit and the hood goes on; place claims.

Peekachoo
Slipped up in sole point-to-point; 66-1 and never figured in first bumper at Down Royal in December and off since; hood worn that day is left off; hard to make a case for.

Rinnaseer Dream
Cheaply bought Pour Moi gelding is a second foal; half-brother to 3m hurdle winner Bridie Whittle; dam unraced sister to 3m/3m1f hurdle winner Maggie Blue, half-sister to bumper/useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Hello George; yard not known for bumper winners; watch on debut.

Son Of Alacoque
Westerner gelding cost 13,000euros as a 3yo; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Minsterforsport (useful bumper and 2m/2m3f hurdle) and Learntalot (2m6f chase); unraced dam from family of smart chaser Another Coral (best up to 2m5f); nicely bred and worth a market check on debut.

The Goose's Acre
Sent off at big prices both starts; fourth in a good ground 2m3f Limerick bumper latest but was beaten 26l; likely to encounter different ground here; others appeal more.

Thedeviluno
Built on debut promise shown in a 2m Fairyhouse bumper when a close second in a Wexford (2m, good to yielding) behind a well-backed Gordon Elliott horse on St Patrick's Day; leading form claims but very soft ground would be an unknown.
