Jupiter Du Gite (G)
[T]
On a losing run but he got back on track in a refitted hood when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Navan (21.8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Enters calculations.

Blow Wind Blow (G)
Lightly raced over hurdles and he posted a career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Thurles (22.6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Scored readily there so he's very much one to consider now going handicapping.

Mi Lucky Cailin (M)
Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in January. Solid fourth of 7 to Zanoosh in listed hurdle (22/1) at Navan (20f, heavy) 13 days ago so can make her presence felt back in handicap company.

Run For Cover (M)
[T]
Gained a second success this season when making all in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 43 days ago. This C&D scorer is not taken lightly in his current mood.

Seeitoldya (G)
Low-mileage sort who wasn't discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Tramore (21f, good to firm) 6 months ago on his final run for Ellmarie Holden. One to consider starting out for a new yard.
