The fitting of a hood had a transformative effect on KABYLIA (nap) at Kilbeggan when running away with a bumper and she could now take plenty of beating switched to hurdles. Two Become One hasn't been seen since finishing second in a maiden at Kilbeggan a year ago but goes well fresh and rates the danger. Kate Knows Best is another lacking a recent run but is respected on the balance of her form. [Alan Hewison]

Dual winner on the Flat (including on good ground); didn't count but gave the impression she would benefit from the experience when fair 7th of 22 on last month's hurdles debut at Fairyhouse; runs against her own sex here in what appears a weaker maiden so don't rule out.
Point-to-point second came good on third bumper start when landing Kilbeggan mares' contest last month, much improved in first-time hood to win with plenty in hand (good-to-yielding); likely major player now switched to hurdles.
Fourth foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Sego Success (useful 3m-3m1f hurdle/chase), Dorans Boy (2m3f hurdle) and Benefitthewest (2m/2m3f hurdle); novicey jumping, tailed off on last month's hurdles debut at Ballinrobe; can only be watched for now.
No Risk At All mare cost 80,000Euros as a 3yo; second foal; dam French 2m3f chase winner, half-sister to useful winners Highway To Hell (French 2m1f-2m3f hurdle; by No Risk At All) and Five O'Clock (2m-2m5f hurdle); debutante for whom market may prove best guide.
Ran well in bumpers and runner-up on opening maiden hurdle runs last summer at Killarney (good) and over C&D (soft) when tending to jump left; absent since returning lame and distressed when beaten favourite at Ballinrobe in late August but goes well fresh and has to be on the shortlist.
Half-sister to 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase winner Ciankyle; dam placed 1m AW, half-sister to winners Kinger Rocks (bumper, 1m4f/1m6f Flat and 2m hurdle) and John Magical (bumper/2m hurdle); last of 11 on debut in Naas bumper in November, can only be watched on return now switched to hurdles.
Vadamos mare is first foal of a 2m hurdle winner; modest point-to-point form, most recently second in 2-runner Tattersalls Farm mares maiden last month.
Displayed definite ability when runner-up (after 173-day absence) in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden a year ago, staying on well (good-to-yielding); runs well fresh so has to be considered a major player.
Some useful bumper form, especially when collared late here last summer (2m3f, good); none too fluent when last seen on hurdles debut in November but still respected given that bumper form.
