River Tara
Bumper winner placed in three maiden hurdles at 16.5f-2m6f on good and soft ground for Willie Mullins, including a 4.25l third here (16.5f, yielding) behind a now 128 rated chaser; market should reveal plenty on stable and handicap debut after a 306 day absence.

Joueuse Royale
0-4 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; good effort on handicap debut when beaten 2.25l by Lilian Bland at Downpatrick (2m6f good); not a bad effort latest in a Tramore beginners' chase; place claims at least back over timber.

Music Of Life
Best effort yet over timber in 15.5f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle on latest, shaping as though further would suit; pedigree suggests it will suit too (sister to Grand National winner Nick Rockett); could go well on handicap debut.

Bayou Belle
Dual-purpose maiden is 0-18 over hurdles; runner up the last twice off 96; raised 3lb for 0.5l defeat at Kilbeggan (19.5f, yielding) on latest; course form figures of 222; thereabouts again.

Tiffiny's Girl
Promise in last two maiden hurdles; beaten 9.25l when fourth of 14 over 20.5f here on latest (yielding); unraced on good ground but pedigree offers hope she'll handle it; worth a market check on handicap debut.

Maid On The Moon
Easy winner off 87 at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) in March; has come up short twice since off revised mark, though wasn't beaten far latest; needs more to win off this rating.

Lilian Bland
Two-time chase winner is 1-17 over timber; took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) in March, beating Joueuse Royale by 2.25l; in contention when falling in a Tramore handicap chase latest off 102; 5lb lower here and could go well back returned to hurdles.

Miss Lia
Won a 21.5f mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (gd-yld) in August; has come up short in handicaps since; beaten 19l when eighth of 9 at Ballinrobe (21.5f, good); down 3lb but she needs more in first-time cheekpieces.

Backfromtheraces
0-8 over hurdles; placed in back to back races in October-December, including a 5l second here on soft ground over 16.5f; weakened over that distance here on latest so not sure this step back up in trip will suit (well beaten sole previous try at 2m4f); others preferred.

The Derry Girl
Won a 2m Worcester maiden hurdle on good ground for Fergal O'Brien in August 2023; poor efforts in first three handicaps at 16.5f-19.5f for current yard; beaten 23l on latest at Kilbeggan; 3lb lower but hard to fancy in first-time cheekpieces.

Ar Nos Na Gaoithe
Won a Clonmel handicap (2m3f, soft) in February off 73; went close off revised mark at Down Royal in March; ran better than result suggests off this mark latest at Kilbeggan (2m2f, gd-yld); place claims stepped back up in trip.

Wendell's Lass
Dual-purpose maiden is 0-10 over hurdles; ran okay at Fairyhouse (16.5f, yielding) in December off 88; hasn't repeated that in two runs since, including over this trip at Leopardstown on latest; others appeal more.

Rose Boum
Locally trained mare is 0-6 over hurdles; best effort yet a 4.75l fifth of 15 in first-time blinkers (retained) at Ballinrobe (21.5f, good) last month; this shorter trip will suit her on that evidence; yard won this last year; should go well again off the same mark.

Native Song
Dual point-to-point winner; hasn't shown a lot in six starts over hurdles; beaten 22l on latest at Clonmel (2m3f, soft) in February; down 2lb and cheekpieces now tried but good ground is a concern; 3lb wrong and others preferred.

Perfectway
First reserve; 0-9 over hurdles; best run a 15.5l fifth of 15 at Gowran (2m4f, yielding) in November when would have finished closer but for late mistake; off since poor run at Thurles (2m, good) later that month; 8lb wrong here and best watched.
