Ellis Mor
Pulled up in two maiden hurdle starts; made stable debut last time at Punchestown when well back in the field (2m3f, yielding); was returning from a break that day but he needs improvement if he is to win here; trainer also runs two others.

Kasper Blou
Pulled up in a point-to-point and a maiden hurdle before finishing a well beaten tenth of 15 at Killarney recently (2m4f, yielding); he is hard to fancy but he has a top rider aboard.

Kotkito Bello
Set a tall order when finishing eighth of 12 in a Punchestown novice hurdle when last seen; prior to that he ran okay after returning from a break to finish sixth at Clonmel on maiden hurdle debut (2m, good to yielding); tries 3m for the first time under rules but could go well now at a more appropriate level.

On Cloud Wine
One of three runners for the champion trainer and potentially the stable's first string; well beaten on bumper debut at Kilbeggan last summer when sent off favourite; disappointed again last time when pulled up in a maiden hurdle under Paul Townend; a son of Sea The Stars and surely capable of more.

Scodar
Improved heaps returning from a break to finish sixth of 15 in a Tipperary maiden hurdle 17 days ago when sent off at odds of 100-1; prior to that was unsighted in a point-to-point and a maiden hurdle; he is going the right way.

Sunset Boulevard
Half-brother to Jungle Boogie but has run tamely on his two starts; most recently beaten 14.5l in a Bellewstown bumper when sent off the 11-4 second favourite; has the pedigree but may need more time; trainer runs two others in the race.

Yarraman Makarrata
Midfield finishes in three maiden hurdle starts against quality winners; returned from a break when eighth of 13 on handicap debut two weeks ago; conditional rider now takes 7lb off his back and he may be capable of improving enough to be on the premises in an ordinary maiden.

Hard to fancy based on two maiden hurdle starts at Navan; sent off at 200-1 last time when tailed off.

Sent off at triple-figure odds for bumper and maiden hurdle starts; she finished last both times; unlikely to feature here.

Returned from a break with a poor effort at Tipperary two weeks ago (3m1f, good to yielding); her form prior to that was middling; others are preferred.

Hillstar Blues
Ran okay in a Punchestown bumper on debut; didn't build on that at Thurles the following month; midfield finish on hurdles bow at Cork last month but again failed to back that up when finishing down the field last time at the same track; best watched.
