Ataboycharlie (G)
In front and yet to be asked for maximum effort when fell last in handicap hurdle (well-backed 4/1) at Fairyhouse 98 days ago. Big shout after a break despite taking a 3 lb rise.

I'm Slippy (G)
Lightly-raced winner but he came in last of 5 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19f, heavy, 7/4) 41 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut with more required.

Best Years Yet (G)
[T]
Fairly useful Flat winner. Looked rusty after 14 months off when a never-dangerous fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (125/1) at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy) 15 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Eagles Reign (G)
[B]
Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Navan (25.4f, heavy, 25/1) 92 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Down in trip. Others more persuasive.

| 9th | 6 | — |
Slurricane (G)
Reliable sort but rare modest effort when tenth of 12 in listed handicap at Limerick (16f, heavy, 6/1) 69 days ago. The sort to bounce back.

Blue Mosque (M)
Last of 18 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Leopardstown (18f, heavy) 35 days ago. Has work to do.

Teed Up (G)
28/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 22 days ago. Stable in good form and he still warrants respect.
