Fortune The Brave
Won a Kilbeggan bumper last September and not a bad maiden hurdle debut at Leopardstown; below that form after a bad mistake at Down Royal since; needs to improve.

William Butler
Fairyhouse bumper winner on debut and a solid run behind a subsequent Grade 3 winner next time; beaten 9l on maiden hurdle debut over this trip at Limerick; can come on from that and be competitive.

Bitofajokelike
Showed much-improved form on fifth hurdle run when beaten only 1.25l in a Cork maiden hurdle over this trip last time; that form is the best on show and is the one to beat if repeating it.

Insouciant Dallier
Runner-up in a Fairyhouse bumper and Sligo maiden hurdle in 2023; no sign of that form since and is best watched back from a break.

Kildinan Prince
Third foal; half-brother to winners Bethpage (2m1f-3m hurdle) and Some Spin (2m hurdle); unraced dam closely related to 2m-2m7f chase winner Ballyegan; will need to be smart to take this on debut so best watched unless market support.

Kir
Was running a big race when falling at the last on sole point start; the best of three maiden hurdle runs was when beaten 17l last time after a break at Fairyhouse (2m4f); can come on from that and get closer over a trip that should suit.

Lacaduv
Well-bred sort cost 185,000euros as a 3yo; tailed-off in a Cork bumper on recent debut; surely much better than that but difficult to have confidence in on hurdle debut.

Mashalla Habibi
unner-up in a point and some fine efforts in maiden hurdles; beaten 12l at Leopardstown (2m4f) in March and 3l at Limerick last time (2m5.5f); has a solid chance if backing that up over this trip.

Political Stance
First foal; dam unraced half-sister to 2m5f/3m hurdle winner Cash For Steel, out of Listed-placed 6f-10.5f winning half-sister to Arkle Chase winner Nakir; not a bad pedigree but cost only 3,500euros as a 3yo; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

The Lookout Man
Solid efforts in defeat on four of his five bumper (all over 2m) starts for various trainers, including at Kilbeggan last time; big hike in trip on hurdles debut and will need to improve for it

Runner-up in an Oldtown point on debut in February to a horse that made 85,000GBP after; hurdle winners in the pedigree including over this trip; the market can reveal clues.
