Bertutea (G)

AW Flat winner in France. Also placed in 2 hurdles there last spring and made a successful start for Willie Mullins in maiden at Limerick (2m, heavy) over Christmas. Disappointed in Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival but still early day…

Barbizon (G)

Quickly reached useful level on the Flat for John Murphy and made a smooth transition to hurdling for Gordon Elliott when winning juvenile at Navan. Found out in graded races at Leopardstown since but no surprise were he to resume his prog…

Madness D'elle (G)
Third at Auteuil on debut last spring. Couldn't land the odds (4/11) but shaped well when second of 15 in juvenile at Punchestown on return for new connections and duly went one better at Gowran (2m, heavy) last month. A mark in the 130s l…

Harwa (G)
Runner-up both starts in France for Marcel Rolland and created a good impression when going one better in Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) on yard debut 5 weeks ago. His mark looks tough but he can likely improve.

Sean Flanagan | P Nolan | 4 | 73.5 kg |

| 9th | 5 | — |
Dignam (G)
Fairly useful Flat performer who won his first 3 starts in juvenile hurdles last summer. Found out when stepped up to Group 1 level in France in November. Off since. Glen To Glen looks the stronger of the stable pair.

The Mighty Celt (G)
[HT]
Fairly useful in France for Noel George & Amanda Zetterholm. Off 3 months (had wind surgery), shaped well when 9¾ lengths third of 7 to Manlaga in Victor Ludorum at Haydock on first run for Dan Skelton, finishing with running left from too…

Winston Junior (G)
Useful maiden on Flat (stays 13f) for Jessica Harrington in Ireland and has made a very encouraging start to his hurdle career, runner-up twice before making all with ease at Ascot (2m, soft) in January. Capable of having a big say from an…

| 1st | 9 | — |
Saratoga (G)
Useful Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien and has shown progressive form in juvenile hurdles this winter. This has likely been the plan for a stable which has tasted recent success in this race with a JP McManus runner.

Mark Walsh | P Roche | 4 | 72.6 kg |

| 18th | 10 | — |
Glen To Glen (G)
Useful Flat performer who left his first 2 runs over hurdles behind to win 17f Cork juvenile (soft) in December. Seemingly saved for this since by a yard seeking a hat-trick of wins in this ultra-competitive handicap.

Mustang Du Breuil (G)

Promising individual who landed juvenile hurdle at Auteuil in October and followed up for new connections at Doncaster in February. Met with defeat for the first time but advanced his form when 3½ lengths third of 12 to Klub de Reve in Gra…

Pourquoi Pas Papa (G)
Yet to finish out of the first 2 in 5 outings over hurdles, winning a maiden at Wincanton before going down by 2¼ lengths to Manlaga in the Victor Ludorum at Haydock. Should give another good account for a stable which has had several run …

Hardy Stuff (G)
[H]
Edged out Ole Ole and Munsif to win big-field juvenile at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. Raced too keenly when well-held seventh in course Grade 2 on trials day. The yard's record in this makes him a tough one to discount but Jack Ken…

Ammes (G)
Useful on Flat and easy winner of 2 juvenile hurdles this autumn. Second at odds on in the listed Wensleydale at Wetherby at the end of October but it turns out he had plenty on up against Minella Study. Warmed up for this with a Flat run …

Ole Ole (G)
Second on three consecutive starts since joining from Hugo Merienne, on the latest edged out by the reopposing Hardy Stuff at Leopardstown (2m, good) over Christmas. Given a 10-week break ahead of this handicap debut.

Quinta Do Lago (G)
[P1]
Won first 2 starts but his limitations having seemingly been exposed the last twice. Makes handicap debut from a mark which demands plenty of improvement. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Paddockwood (G)
[T1]
Pair of soft-ground hurdle wins at Cagnes-sur-Mer for Mathieu Pitart this winter. Not obviously well treated for this British debut but in good hands so worth a second look in the betting.

Klycot (G)

Bibe Mus (G)
Solid record over hurdles for Ross O'Sullivan in Ireland but still found a jolt of improvement when comfortably making a winning start for the Paul Nicholls yard in a Sandown juvenile handicap (soft) on Saturday. He's a player if coping wi…

Bandjo (G)
Flat/hurdle winner in France for Mickael Seror. Finished 12½ lengths sixth of 9 in listed juvenile at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on his final start there, with reopposing Paddockwood 3½ lengths ahead in fifth. Others are more obvious.

Mino Des Mottes (G)
French bumper. Fair form in 3 juvenile hurdles at Punchestown for new yard, best effort when second of 15 last time. Open to further progress in handicaps.
