Shanliss Tricks (M)
[H]
Hooded and shaped as if needing experience (jumped sketchily) when seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at Navan (2m, heavy, 100/1) on debut 69 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind.

Echinacea (F)
Fair maiden on the Flat arrives after finishing runner-up in handicaps at Dundalk on her last 2 outings. Should be able to make an impact sent hurdling in a thin race.
