A weak looking maiden in which few appeal. Little appears to separate the chances of Half Past Tipsy and FOLLOWING ORDERS (nap), the latter probably open to the greater improvement on only his third hurdles start. San Franco and Lady Be Great look likely placers, while Gordon Elliott's newcomer Timeless Treaty would be of interest if getting a run. [Alan Hewison]

Half-brother to the smart Delegator; weak form in three runs on the Flat for Owen Burrows but ran okay for long way on hurdles debut at Naas early this month; more needed though.
Placed in a point-to-point and again on both maiden hurdle runs last month; excellent Leopardstown debut second (fourth won since) and not quite at same level at Thurles although would have held second but for ploughing through the last; definite contender.
Promising bumper debut at Tipperary last May (yielding), not as effective at Listowel following month and hasn't been seen since; probably best watched on hurdles debut.
Some promise in bumpers and set for second when last flight faller on hurdles debut at Roscommon last summer; absent since soundly beaten on AW in October.
Point winner is yet to score over hurdles but some good runs in defeat and went closest when runner-up at Wexford over 2m last month; in touch when faller three out on handicap debut at Bellewstown latest; handles good ground and major contender back in maiden company in a weak race.
Well held in Tramore bumper last May for Peter Fahey, showed more on hurdles debut early this month at Naas, tiring from last; could have more to offer.
Fair third in Tramore bumper last summer (good); midfield in two maiden hurdles when beaten a long way and most recently no threat when carried out by loose horse two out at Tramore; more one for handicaps.
First reserve; Harzand 5yo cost 37,000Euros as a foal; half-brother to winners The Short Go (useful 2m4f hurdle/3m chase) and The Mick Preston (bumper/2m hurdle); unraced dam closely related to useful 2m4f-2m7f hurdle/chase winner Ipsos Du Berlais; one to consider if getting a run.
