Patrick Street
Modest enough Flat winner ran creditably on hurdling debut at Naas last month but took a backward step at Ballinrobe eight days later; more likely of interest in handicaps.

At The Wings
Much the pick of four bumper runs when a clear second here over 2m2f (soft) last summer; absent since September and may need this on hurdles debut.

Tailed off on sole start in 2023 and not seen until soon beaten in decent 2m4f Naas maiden in March; can only be watched for now.

Faithful Follower
Much the best of five bumper runs when clear second at Down Royal last autumn (good-to-yielding); Wexford comeback run in March well below that level but not one to rule out here on hurdles debut.

Kamino Bello
Distant third in a point-to-point, soon beaten on rules debut in Fairyhouse bumper in January when not without market support; respected nonetheless from top yard now switched to hurdles.

Maroto
Formerly with Willie Mullins; ran well in defeat several times in maidens (albeit on softer ground) but well beaten in both runs for current yard over the winter, hooded last time; not one to be confident in but if able to return to former level of form would have a major chance in what looks a weak maiden.

Of no account on the flat and nothing so far in three attempts hurdling; cheekpieces tried.

Gatewood 6yo is fifth foal; dam unraced half sister to Italian 7f/1m winner Dribbling, out of half-sister to US 1m2f stakes winner Sans Ecocide; not an obvious one to make an immediate impact.

Parkgarve
Half-brother to very smart 2m-2m4f novice hurdler (inc Supreme Novices') Slade Steel; dam 2m4f hurdle winner, half-sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Missoula; keen, soon beaten on debut in Down Royal bumper a year ago; headgear combination fitted for hurdles debut and market should be informative.

Saint Peregrine
Headstrong sort well held twice in bumpers (ran out on debut) but shaped better in 2m2f Down Royal maiden hurdle eight days ago, again keen when midfield; if settling better could play a role here.

San Franco
Some promise in bumpers and set for second when last flight faller on hurdles debut at Roscommon last summer (soft); probably needed recent comeback run and should be capable of a big run here, if handling quicker conditions.

Of no account on the Flat and two hurdle runs have been poor; back from near two-year absence.

Limited maiden under both codes, not totally disgraced in two hurdling attempts last September; first start for new yard and can't be entirely ruled out.
