Murat (G)
[H]
2-2 in bumpers and built on hurdling debut second when landing 22-runner novice hurdle (11/2) at Leopardstown (16f, good) 41 days ago, though held in second when left clear last. Capable of better still but this demands plenty more.

Welonlyhavedone (G)
Debut hurdles winner at Galway in October and got right back on track when an excellent third of 8 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 20/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and can't be dismissed.

Timeless Treaty (G)
Fairly useful hurdler. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Navan (20.2f, heavy) 19 days ago. Stable in good form and needs considering back in novice company.

Gin Tonic (G)
FAV
Made a successful hurdling debut in 2m4f maiden at Wexford in October and improved plenty when a clear second of 6 in Grade 3 hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) following month. Expected to be bang there after a break.

Sunny South West (G)
[H]
Useful bumper scorer who made a winning start over hurdles at Cork in July. Off 5 months before a fading sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20.5f, good to soft) 38 days ago and can take a step forward here.

Heron's Butler (G)
Course winner who comes here on the back of a good second of 5 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.
