L' Evangeliste (G)
Promising sort who produced a career best when following up his Galway victory in 6-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft) in November, always holding on. Should progress further and returns with strong claims in a valuable event. …

Los Blanco (G)
[T]
Equipped with a first-time tongue strap (retained) when off the mark at the fifth attempt in maiden hurdle at Down Royal in December. Off since and returns in a much deeper contest, though the step up in trip should suit him.

Vitorio Piel (G)
FAV
Useful hurdler boasting 2 wins from 6 career outings and produced a very good second of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) 25 days ago. Progressing well and the drop back in trip will prove no hindrance so he should be in the m…

Ifallgoeswell (G)
[P1]
Fairly useful hurdler who didn't need to improve to win 8-runner novice at Wexford (2½m, soft) 19 days ago, by neck from reopposing De Jour En Jour. Hails from a yard in good form but this demands plenty of progress in first-time cheekpiec…

Green Angel (G)
[T]
Lightly-raced maiden who posted best effort to date when third of 8 in maiden hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) 12 days ago, rallying. This looks a stiff task but step back up in trip could unlock further progress.

Eagle's Quest (G)
Fair hurdler who got off the mark in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.5f) in February but he's twice been well beaten on the Flat since and has work to do upped in grade back in this sphere.

Grey Jude (G)
Fairly useful hurdler who won maiden hurdle at Cork in November. Runner-up last 2 starts, but was turned over at odds on at Leopardstown on latter occasion and needs the step up in trip to bring about progress in this deeper contest.

Raise You Up (G)
Looked promising when recording back-to-back wins in December/February and, though only fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Naas (2m, soft) last time, the return to a longer trip looks sure to suit and he could resume progress.

Green Chef (G)
Better effort in maiden hurdles when third of 6 at Navan (2¾m, heavy) 2 months ago. Major progress required if he's to land any sort of blow in this company, however.

De Jour En Jour (G)
Improved on first run since leaving William O'Doherty when very good neck second of 8 to Ifallgoeswell in maiden hurdle at Wexford (2½m, soft) 19 days ago, but would need another similar step forward to continue his run of in-the-frame eff…

All Night Revival (G)
Fair hurdler who finished a creditable 4¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Ifallgoeswell in maiden hurdle at Wexford (2½m, soft) 19 days ago. Open to improvement, yet that looks likely to come in handicaps.

Dunleer Crystal (G)
Yet to win a race but looked unlucky when 3¾ lengths third of 8 to Ifallgoeswell in maiden hurdle at Wexford (2½m, soft) 19 days ago, given the saddle slipped on the home turn and his rider had to ride a finish without irons. Further progr…

Strange Currency (G)
Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't going well in first-time cheekpieces when unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2½m, good to soft) 15 days ago. Goes without the headgear this time but not easy to make a case for.

The First Turn (G)
[T1]
Bumper winner but there was nothing in his recent hurdling debut to suggest he'll be up to this task. Tried in first-time tongue strap.

Simply Natural (M)
Plenty of promise when runner-up at Fairyhouse both starts over hurdles, latterly in 16-runner mares maiden 25 days ago. Has shaped as though this longer trip should suit and she's one to take very seriously on these terms.
