Dooks (G)
€52,000 Brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Amarillo Sky and closely related to modest hurdler Leahs Tricks. One of 3 representing the Gordon Elliott yard and the betting should be revealing in terms of the pecking order.

Danny Gilligan | G Elliott | 4 | 69.4 kg |

Haydens Star (G)
Limited appeal on paper and probably best watched on this occasion. Yard also saddles Mac Dara.

Mac Dara (G)
Out of a fairly useful hurdles winner at up to 2½m, herself a half-sister to useful bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Ballywilliam. Entitled to come on for the run.

One To Witness (G)
FAV
Failed to land a blow when fourth in a 5-runner Naas bumper on debut in February. However, he will be more street-wise now and merits respect now switched to hurdles.

Blossom Trixie (F)
Third of 18 on debut in a Thurles maiden hurdle last month but he was beaten a fair way and then suffered a heavy defeat at Cork 2 weeks later.

Celtic Alliance (F)
Order of St George filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler Absolute Notions and fair hurdler Colleen Danu. Interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemates Dooks and One To Witness.

Jake Coen | G Elliott | 4 | 66.2 kg |

Mastertown Miss (F)
€15,500 half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Lowry's Bar, stays 3m, and fairly useful hurdler Glentruan. Will probably be better for the run.

Cian Quirke | D H Kelly | 4 | 66.2 kg |

Betting forecast: One To Witness (4/7), Dooks (4/1), Celtic Alliance (7/1), Mastertown Miss (10/1), Blossom Trixie (14/1), Haydens Star (33/1), Mac Dara (50/1)
