Ifallgoeswell (G)
Showed ability in bumpers and confirmed he's an improved performer in handicaps when second of 11 at Thurles (7/2) 4 days ago, leading until caught near finish. Shorter trip may suit his travelling style and help him finish races better.

All Night Revival (G)
Runner-up in a point and showed promise when second of 6 in bumper at Fairyhouse (11/1) 62 days ago, beaten only a neck after travelling well and leading over 1f out. Makes hurdle debut here for new connections and he demands respect.

Dunleer Crystal (G)
Modest form first 2 starts but much improved when second of 10 in maiden hurdle at Down Royal (22/1) 27 days ago, kept on well after clouting one hurdle. Likely to do better still, especially if brushing up jumping so he could be the answe…
