Al Fonce (F)
Fair hurdler, successful twice on heavy at Lyon Parilly in the autumn. Ran well under a penalty at Taunton over Christmas but this looks beyond her. Usual headgear removed.

Amen Kate (M)
Likeable and straightforward mare who tapped into her fairly useful bumper form as she made her first completed start at listed level a winning one at Thurles (2m) before Christmas. This demands another jolt of improvement but she can go o…

Bambino Fever (M)
FAV
[T1]
Winner of all 4 starts in bumpers, notably Champion Bumper and Grade 1 at Punchestown. Beaten only by a race-fit Oldschool Outlaw when clear second on hurdles debut and landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Fairyhouse. Will leave tha…

Blue Velvet (M)
Bumper winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, benefiting from both a more fluent round of jumping and the step up in trip as she landed the odds at Punchestown (19f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. More to come (will be a stayer) but down…

| 12th | 5 | — |
Carrigmoornaspruce (M)
Useful bumper winner who was an impressive scorer on hurdles debut at Listowel in September. Better form when runner-up twice in graded company since, latterly 5 lengths second in Future Champions Novice at Leopardstown. Has plenty of expe…

Chosen Comrade (M)
Bred to stay well and seemed unsuited by the steady pace as she met with defeat for the first time in 19f listed mares novice hurdle at Punchestown 3 months ago. Had looked potentially useful at Limerick and remains one to be positive abou…

Diamond Du Berlais (M)
[T]
Plenty of tries without success in France but fetched €160,000 in July and made no mistake starting out for top yard at Ludlow (21f) last month, coming clear with plenty in hand. Could do better and has place claims down in trip.

Echoing Silence (M)
Confirmed the promise of her debut when landing 12-runner bumper a year ago and made it 2 from 2 over obstacles in listed company at Punchestown in December. Looks ready and able for a higher grade.

Darragh O'Keeffe | H De Bromhead | 6 | 71.7 kg |

| 13th | 9 | — |
Full Of Life (M)
Landed the odds at Tramore last summer and back from a spell chasing in the autumn, she caused a bit of a surprise in 9-runner Grade 3 at Down Royal by 1¼ lengths from Carrigmoornaspruce, holding on gamely.

Mike O'Connor | H De Bromhead | 7 | 71.7 kg |

Future Prospect (M)
[H]
Didn't go on in bumpers after a win but got her career firmly back on track with a taking hurdling debut success after 8 months off at Naas (2m) 2 months ago, asserting on the long run-in. Task is to build on that now.

Jackie Hobbs (M)
Dual-bumper winner who had a bit in hand when making a successful hurdles debut/return at Newbury. Showed similar form when fourth of 9 in listed event at Haydock the following month and cemented excellent start over hurdles for latest win…

Kingston Queen (M)
[P1]
Progressed well in bumpers last season and it's been a similar story over hurdles, no match for Old Park Star here before taking 19f Warwick Grade 2 (beat White Noise ¾ length) last month. Open to further improvement, and worth her place a…

La Conquiere (M)
Useful in bumpers and looked good prospect when winning first 2 starts over hurdles, latterly in listed company at Newbury in November. Cemented excellent start when second to a more-experienced rival in Warfield Mares' Hurdle at Ascot and…

Louve D'irlande (M)
[H1]
Met with defeat just once in France (in Grade 1 bumper), switching to Paul Nolan after a successful hurdles debut at Fontainebleau in October. Open to improvement but this is surely a bridge too far at this stage.

Oldschool Outlaw (M)
Listed bumper winner who had race fitness on her side when seeing off Bambino Fever on hurdles debut at Naas in December, the pair clear. Maintained unbeaten record for this yard with a strong-travelling performance in Grade 3 Solerina 5 w…

Place De La Nation (M)
Not beaten far when 200/1 for the Triumph last year and started this season with 2 wins in thin races. Jumped well but readily outspeeded by Oldschool Outlaw in the Solerina at Fairyhouse last month and hard to see her turning that form ar…

Scavengers Reign (M)
Justified heavy support against her own sex at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Shaped quite well in a handicap at Doncaster last month but this is a very tall order.

St Irene (M)
Easy winner of a Southwell bumper on her debut for Ben Brookhouse. Built on hurdling debut second for new yard with an impressive success in 7-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton and took step up to listed class in her stride when following …

White Noise (M)

Completed a hat-trick in a first-time tongue strap in 8-runner 2m handicap at Newbury in December. Had her winning run ended but lost very little in defeat (short of room briefly) behind Kingston Queen in Grade 2 at Warwick last month and …

Charme De Faust (F)
Second of 18 in newcomers hurdle at Auteuil for Gabriel Leenders and acquired by leading connections, she looked a useful prospect when hammering 11 rivals at Thurles (2m) in January. Expected to leave bare form of that well behind.

Manganese (F)
French bumper winner who is unbeaten in 3 juvenile hurdles for Max Comley, including defeating Manlaga in a fillies listed event at Doncaster in January. Well-bred mare who will stay further when required.

Mille Et Une Vies (F)
Fairly useful form over hurdles, placed all 3 starts at Auteuil, best effort when 8 lengths second of 10 to Olga de Kiev in Group 3 Prix Sagan when last seen in May. Has left Francois Nicolle and joined very powerful British stable.
