Jo's Secret (M)
Runner-up on second of 322 bumper starts last spring. Off 11 months and tongue tied first time, 15 lengths second of 8 in maiden at Catterick (2m, good, 8/11) on hurdle debut 31 days ago, needing stiffer test. Should improve.

Lady Fromentro (M)
Hinted at ability when sixth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Wexford (2m, heavy, 6/1) on debut 18 days ago. Salsinha looks the de Bromhead first string here.

Salsinha (M)
FAV
Bumper winner. Promise both starts over hurdles, particularly when 3½ lengths third of 9 to Amen Kate in listed novice at Thurles (2m, good to soft) 105 days ago. Likely to improve again and the one to beat.

Shesakindofmagic (M)

Simply Natural (M)
Promising sort. Second of 7 in maiden over a slightly longer trip here (heavy, 3/1) on hurdles bow 42 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Strong Contender (M)
Remote third of 4 in maiden hurdle (15/2) at Sligo (25f, good to soft) on debut 162 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on stamina. Significantly down in trip on return.
