Needs Must (G)
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 15/8, career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 20 days ago, driven out. Could well have more to offer given stable he represents but assessor looks to have taken no chan…

Lumiere Du Large (M)
[HT]
Fair Flat winner. Fourth of 19 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, soft, 10/11) 59 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a definite plus with that run under her belt (first start for 7 months) and no surprise to see her fare better for top outf…

Mojoe (G)
Showed modest form in maiden hurdles but sizeable step forward when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at this course (19.3f, heavy, 14/1) 23 days ago, coming from further back than the trio that chased him home. Likely there's even more to…

Take Stock (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track when good third of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Naas (18.9f, soft) 26 days ago. Open to further progress in handicaps and he's one for the shortlist.

Lough Nigara (G)
[PH]
5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at this course (22f, heavy) 23 days ago, staying on well. Has more miles on the clock than most but consistency hard to knock for this yard and not rul…

James The Brave (G)
FAV
Fair winner at 23f in chases. 7/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 37 days ago, pulled up 3 out having been let down by his jumping. Has a much lower mark to work from back over hurdles if he can translate his recent…
