Keilah
Off the mark on the Flat at Punchestown (1m1f, good) last September; satisfactory hurdles debut when seventh of 21 at Navan in November (Belle The Tigress fifth); off since so might need this.

Moonlit Mist
2-12 on the Flat and rated 77; made winning start for current yard in Fairyhouse handicap (1m2f, good) last May; rounded off campaign with runner-up here (9.5f) in September; each-way contender if she takes to hurdling.

Arctic Flame
Very green when fifth in Thurles bumper on debut; ran to similar level at Leopardstown; remote fourth of 15 in course bumper four weeks ago, unable to sustain effort in front; entitled to improve on hurdles bow.

Belle The Tigress
In front of Keilah when fifth at Navan on debut; beaten 1.75l when third at Naas (2m) next time (form has worked out); weak in the betting late on when a disappointing favourite at Gowran in January with testing ground possibly the culprit; ought to go well.

Russellsbelle
Looked set to get off the mark when falling at the last in Listowel maiden hurdle (2m, good to yielding) last June; another hard luck story four weeks ago when a faller two out when disputing the lead; big player with a clear round.

Kick On Nellie
Decent staying pedigree but jumped abysmally when completely tailed off on debut at Limerick last month; can't recommend.

Finished fifth on her hurdles debut at Navan (2m, heavy); improved effort when fourth of 11 at Limerick (2m, good) last month; hails from top yard; entitled to improve again.

Small Bucks
Modest Flat maiden was pulled up early after saddle slipped on hurdles debut at Naas; wasn't disgraced in midfield at Down Royal 10 days ago but looks up against it.

Tiffany Mae
0-11 on the Flat and rated 50; showed only glimpses of ability for Jessica Harrington but two poor runs for this yard; impossible to recommend on hurdles bow.

Vangaway
Closely related to point and 2m1f/2m4f hurdle winner Ocean Drifter, half-sister to bumper winner Driftwood Bounty; yard had 20-1 maiden hurdle winner at Down Royal this month; market watch advised with champion conditional booked to ride.
