Leitzel (M)
14/1, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan when last seen. Off 7 months ahead of this yard debut and others make more appeal.

What's It To Ya (G)
[T]
Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, unseated rider after seventh in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Punchestown (20.1f, heavy) 27 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed.

Button Rock (G)
Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, good fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel 105 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Faces a more suitable stamina test now pitched into a handicap and improvement could be on the way.

Kanog Bay (G)
Winner at Fairyhouse in January. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles 40 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that display.

Dolly Watkins (M)
[PT]
Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19.3f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 11 months, so it's reasonable to expect this 7-y-o to need the run.

4/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Clonmel 19 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if on-song.
