Miss Oreo
Hurdle winner has run creditably in defeat over fences at times, including when unseating at the last behind a smart sort at Down Royal last month; jumping issues present when midfield at Kilbeggan on latest; reverts to hurdles.

Torquay Road
Won a maiden hurdle at Sligo last summer but big prices and well beaten in first five handicaps at 2m-2m4f; hard to fancy on recent showings.

Benzine
Dual-purpose performer; mid-division on handicap hurdle debut at Galway last September; jumped badly and pulled up when quite well fancied at Listowel; tailed off last at Cork in December; hard to fancy.

In rear on handicap debut after a lengthy break and pulled up at Tipperary 17 days ago when always in rear; faces a tough task here.

Glendower
Dual-purpose maiden; big odds and well beaten in three maiden hurdles; weak in the betting when never a factor on handicap hurdle debut at Kilbeggan; tongue-tie reached for now.

Bright N Shine
Consistent on the Flat late last year but never a factor at Roscommon 12 days ago; well beaten in three maiden hurdles; market will reveal expectations on first handicap in this sphere.

Kentucky Bluebird
Didn't show a lot in four maiden hurdles, although wasn't disgraced at Limerick on her penultimate start; watch the betting closely on her handicap debut for top stable.

Applejack Poet
Sole hurdles win came at Bellewstown in 2023 (2m1f, good) off this mark; two solid efforts since returning, notably when third at Sligo (2m2f) on latest; sure to be in the mix.

Good Bye Milan
Not the most dependable sort but has two wins to her name and merits respect in this grade; now 7lb higher than when scoring at Gowran (2m, good) in October; ran on well when third of 16 at Tipperary on latest; player.

Dual-purpose maiden has been poor in three handicap hurdles and isn't easy to fancy; headgear combination is now tried.

Cramers Valley
0-18 over hurdles but knocking on the door in recent starts; finished second under front-running rides at Cork (16.5f, good) and Limerick (2m, good) before disappointing on yielding at Cork on latest; should make a bold bid again.

May Call You Back
Didn't show much for former yard but winning debut for Willie Mullins over fences at Tipperary (2m2f, good to yielding) last July; didn't seem to stay 2m6f here in August; returns from break off lower hurdles mark; contender down in trip.

Twice placed on the Flat at a modest level; very weak form in maiden hurdles, remote sixth at Sligo on latest; more needed on handicap hurdle debut.

Surviving Murmansk
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles; showed some flickers of life when fourth at this track last month but pulled up at Limerick nine days ago; needs to bounce back to form.
