Modest maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (2½m, soft, 20/1) when last seen in December. Off 6 months.

Bold Reflection (M)
Bumper winner in December 2022 but off for almost 3 years before folding tamely and pulled up on Hexham hurdle debut in March. Can only watch after that.

Crossbar Getaway (M)
Improved effort over hurdles when returning from 8 months off to finish second of 18 in 17f maiden at Clonmel (good) 24 days ago. Will be suited by the step up in trip. Likely to have a big say.

Hello Below (M)
Maiden pointer, runner-up last 2 starts (latest May 23). Worth a second look in betting on hurdle debut.

Julie Liath (M)
Point winner. Fourth on the second of 2 bumpers starts and fair form when third of 16 on 2¾m Killarney hurdle debut 4 weeks ago. Her veteran status raises a few doubts over her building on that.

Prophetess Miriam (M)
[H1]
Held every chance when falling at the last on her sole outing in points. Promise when runner-up in her first 2 bumpers but faded into eighth on last month's 2¾m Killarney hurdle debut. Hooded first time.

Royal Order (M)
Order Of St George filly. Dam won at 2½m over hurdles and is half-sister to fairly useful chaser. Makes some appeal on paper but best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Some Pretender (M)
FAV
Bumper winner last summer and placed 3 times in listed company subsequently. Not at best at the Punchestown Festival latest but starts out over hurdles in a very winnable race and the longer trip looks sure to suit. The one to beat.

Working Away (M)
[T]
Showed more than on hurdling debut when third of 8 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft) 6 months ago. First-time tongue tie worn on that occasion is retained. One of 2 for Gordon Elliott. Likely to be in the mix.

Cheekpieces on, last of 19 in bumper at this course (17f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut 40 days ago. Quickly switches to hurdles over a significantly longer trip.
