Green Hope (G)
[T]
Left hurdles debut form well behind and caused a big shock when winning a maiden at Down Royal (by 1¼ lengths from Star of The Week) in January, but failed to back that up by some margin at Ayr last time. Hasn't been done any favours by th…

Maverick Mack (G)
Came on plenty for his sole outing in bumpers when winning maiden hurdle at Gowran (by 6½ lengths from Bergamasquo) in November, but found the test too much when a remote third in a novice at this course last time. Good value conditional b…

Doctor Elvis (G)
[P1]
Has made the frame all 4 starts in this sphere, most recently finishing 8½ lengths second of 8 to Dani Donadoni in maiden at Limerick last month. Cheekpieces now applied on handicap debut.

Some Song (G)
Was fortunate when winning a maiden hurdle at Down Royal (by 18 lengths from Juke Hill, held in third when left clear last) in October and ran no sort of race when attempting to defy a penalty in a novice last time. This looks a big ask on…

Tir Og (M)
Has enjoyed a fruitful campaign, registering a third win when beating Our Lucky Lady by 3¾ lengths in a novice at Naas in November. Has looked in the handicapper's grip since, though.

Sticwiththeprocess (G)
[PT1]
Twice placed in similar events over C&D prior to winning 16-runner 2m novice hurdle at this course on seasonal return. Not seen to best effect when last of 5 here last time and no surprise to see him bounce reverting to a large-field handi…

Don Jefe (G)
Progressive form in maiden hurdles, looking suited by step up to 2½m when comprehensively winning a maiden at this course (by 6 lengths from Gunnery Sergeant) last time. This is tougher but still unexposed and excellent-value conditional k…

Takenasred (G)
[H]
A maiden hurdler that has finished in the frame on 3 of his last 4 starts, 9 lengths fourth of 19 to Barley Lane at Down Royal on latest. Makes handicap debut but limit looks fairly established.

S D Bowen | S R B Crawford | 8 | 71.7 kg |

Royal Soldier (G)
Left previous hurdling efforts well behind when winning 11-runner handicap at Gowran last time by 5½ lengths from Galavanting George. Up 8 lb but will benefit from this step back up in trip and looks open to further improvement.

Umpire's Call (G)
Placed twice in maiden hurdles before taking form up another level when winning 11-runner handicap at Naas (by 1¾ lengths from Only For Our Man) last month. Further progress looks assured, with the attitude he displayed that day sure to co…

Aurea Fortuna (G)
A winner over both hurdles and fences this season. Well held over fences here on Saturday but had previously run well when sent off favourite at Leopardstown at Christmas. Back over the smaller obstacles now.

Philip Byrnes | A J Martin | 7 | 70.8 kg |

Frankie's Freebie (G)
Point winner who has been consistent rather than progressive in maiden hurdles and arrives on the back of a disappointing effort at Limerick last time. Needs to improve now tackling a handicap.

Mi Lucky Cailin (M)
Won handicap at Thurles (by 6½ lengths from Gaelic des Chastys) in January and solid fourth of 7 to Zanoosh in listed hurdle (22/1) at Navan 56 days ago. Reverts to handicap company off career-high mark.

Diamond Tipp (M)

Surpassed bumper form at the first time of asking over hurdles when successful at Downpatrick in July. Development has stalled in handicap company since, though.

Katie Daniels (M)

Zam Bobbler (G)
Improved upon previous hurdling efforts when winning 14-runner maiden at Wexford last time by 1¾ lengths from Mart Lane. More required now handicapping, but capable conditional takes off a useful 5 lb.

Lauro's Legend (G)
Turned in best effort over hurdles when 3½ lengths third of 14 to Claude in maiden at Wexford in July. Made no impact in lesser race on handicap debut after 7 months off last time and is readily passed over in this company.

Sky And Sand (G)

Attracted some support and showed improved form to get off the mark at Gowran last month. The runner-up that day has gone in since, so very much respected for all this represents a step up in grade.

Jaynemax (G)
Progressed when 2¼ lengths second of 18 to Dee's Lady in novice handicap at Leopardstown in March but is likely to find this too competitive.

Minority Interest (G)

Successful at Gowran in October and took step back in right direction despite barely adequate test when fifth of 13 to Something Noble in conditionals event at Limerick last time. Will be suited by the return to 2½m, but will need to step …

Poet's Gale (G)
Hasn't cut much ice in a trio of maiden hurdles, but is related to some above-average jumpers and is likely to prove capable of much better now handicapping. He's eligible for lesser handicaps than this, so he'll be one to take very seriou…

Sheer Raz (G)
Promising individual, who shaped encouragingly when 10¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Umpire's Call in handicap at Naas on return from a 14-month absence last time. He's very much one to have on side with that outing under his belt, especially wi…
