Point runner-up has run with credit in four maiden hurdles, the best of which came at Wexford last time over 2m; up in trip for handicap debut and has to be respected.

Heavy ground bumper winner over this trip last year; soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles and pulled-up last time; needs much better on handicap debut with cheekpieces added.

Sligo maiden winner over 2m2f last summer and some decent handicap runs after including over C&D; chasing over the winter but a fine hurdles run at Limerick last time over 2m; a player up in trip.

Won her second race over hurdles when winning over 2m4f at Leopardstown; not a bad Downpatrick run over 2m6f since; down in trip should suit; same mark.

Yet to win on the Flat or hurdles after 35 starts but placed lots of times; can run well but is a weak finisher so vulnerable too.

Grace Faraday
Won at Limerick last year and was running well twice over the winter when slipping up and falling; can't be ruled out on return and the market can be a guide as to readiness.
