Blue Du Neuf (G)
[T]
Offered something to work with on bumper debut but well held both starts since, latest on hurdle debut at this track, and looks a longer-term prospect.

Hens Tooth (G)
Fair bumper winner who took a step forward from his hurdling debut when sixth in C&D novice, and while that form has some merit, he's yet to fully convince with his finishing effort.

Jack The Lad (G)
6-figure pointer who finished third in a pair of bumpers last spring. Reasonable to think he'll be better suited by this test and worth a market check returning from 10 months off.

Nopresentliketime (G)
Hails from a family his yard have had success with and he made a promising reappearance/hurdle debut when clear second in maiden at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) earlier this month. Longer trip sure to suit but San Hilario looks the stable's primary …

Royal Gladiator (G)
Chased home subsequent listed bumper winner on Rules debut and again shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth on hurdles bow at Leopardstown (20.7f, good) in December. Looks sure to progress.

San Hilario (G)

[P]
Improved model this season, running his best race to date when second for the third time in 4 handicap starts at Punchestown (20.8f, heavy) last month. Sets the standard back in a maiden.
