Liceo
Three time winner on the Flat in France at 1m2f; last win came in October 2023; makes first start for 378 days for new trainer and has been gelded in the meantime; an interesting runner and market can be a help for his first try over hurdles.

Ned In The Park
Best performance came in a Thurles bumper in February last year (soft-heavy); has been midfield in last two maiden hurdle starts; didn't run badly when hooded for the first time in a Ballinrobe bumper last time where he finished third; perhaps best on soft ground.

Speedy Box
Has stepped up on his point-to-point form with his two runs over hurdles; outran his odds at Down Royal when finishing fourth of 15 at odds of 125-1 (2m1f, good); was keeping on last time at Fairyhouse when he possibly could have snatched second place (2m4f, yielding); drop back in trip here is probably not ideal.

Won a Gowran Flat maiden on racecourse debut for former trainer Willie McCreery (7f, soft); form has seriously dipped since then and new trainer hasn't reversed that decline in two maiden hurdle starts where he has been unsighted; needs a revival.

Power Of Words
Good effort on debut in a soft ground 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle where he finished fourth of 24 and behind some promising types; disappointing last time at Kilbeggan in a bumper where he finished 31L behind the winner; if he can return to form of debut then he has a chance.

Ran green on bumper debut at Thurles last December when fifth (2m, good); remote fourth in a Clonmel bumper in April (2m4f, good to yielding); shaped encouragingly last time in her maiden hurdle debut at the same track when finishing second (2m, good); she still showed signs of inexperience that day and she can improve with practice.
