Arslan (G)
FAV
Runner-up in a consecutive maidens, sent off 1/6 favourite when no match for an improver at Limerick (15.7f, heavy) 23 days ago. Proving expensive to follow.

Anna McGuinness | W P Mullins | 6 | 75.3 kg |

4/7

| 10th | 2 | — |
Brave Endeavour (G)
Shaped as if needing the run on stable debut at this course last month and looks one for handicaps.

Richard Condon | P O'Flynn | 9 | 75.3 kg |

33/1

| 11th | 3 | — |
Calm Flight Ahead (G)
Failed to complete in points and well held on Rules debut 3 days ago.

Fixios (G)
Friendless in the betting on debut but made a bright start when third on hurdles debut but shaped as though amiss (held when slipped up final 1f) in a Navan bumper last time. Should progress over hurdles, provided all is well.

Michael Kenneally | N Meade | 5 | 75.3 kg |

Kentucky Beach (G)
[T]
Runner-up in three of 6 starts over hurdles and having been given a break since disappointing in a Tramore handicap, he looks to have plenty in his favour on return to maiden company.

Tiernan Power Roche | P J Rothwell | 6 | 75.3 kg |

Toor Beag (G)
Offered something to work on when seventh of 19 in fairly useful novice hurdle at Tipperary (20f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut but 22-month absence naturally a concern.
|
Ethan O'Sullivan | Ms M Flynn | 8 | 75.3 kg |

25/1

| 5th | 9 | — |
We Be Grand (G)
Fair form in bumpers but is being brought along steadily over hurdles and is a likely one for handicaps.

Calum Hogan | E McNamara | 5 | 75.3 kg |

Boston Breeze (M)
Little appeal this side of handicaps.

Cailin Mahler (M)
Well beaten on debut and needs more time/distance.

La Rocca Lass (M)

Mysilverriverfeale (M)
Finished midfield in pair of bumpers last summer and probably a longer-term project now hurdling.

Walk Win (G)
Jimmy Two Times gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Walkadina and French hurdler Walka. Yard an unlikely source for a debut winner.

Lady Boudica (F)
Shantaram filly. Sister to useful hurdler Andashan. Dam (h108) 19f hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m). Merits a market check on debut. RESERVE.
