|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 1 | — |
Boomerang Breeze (G)
Alkaadhem gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Queen of Cool and fairly useful hurdler All That Remains. The betting should guide to expectations with this newcomer.

| 11th | 2 | — |
Calzaghi (G)
Fairly useful Flat winner but only mid-division in 2 maiden hurdles this season and might be more one for handicaps after this.

| 9th | 3 | — |
Capri Gear (G)
Ninth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (2m, good to soft, 7/1) on debut 37 days ago. Best watched unless the betting hints that improvement is anticipated.

| 15th | 4 | — |
Denham Rock (G)
Considerately handled when mid-field in 3 starts under Rules. Steps up in trip here but likely more one for handicaps after this.

Freddie's Back (G)
[T]
Winning pointer who showed fair form when reaching the frame in a pair of course maidens on heavy ground last season. Likely to be in the mix back from 102 days off.

Goodmancon (G)
Placed on the first of 2 starts over hurdles but had plenty of tries in bumpers and is vulnerable from a win point of view.

[T]
Fair form when placed in 19f bumpers at Cork and Kilbeggan and ran to a a similar level when 4 lenghths third on hurdling debut at Listowel (2½m, good to soft) 33 days ago. Enters calculations in a refitted tongue strap under Danny Mullins.

| 1st | 12 | — |
Siege Of Carthage (G)
Made no impact in a point but offered something to work with when a distant second to a good prospect on bumper debut at Gowran (2¼m, heavy) in February. Only fifth in a Wexford bumper 12 weeks later but retains potential now hurdling.

Latopix (M)
Bumper winner. Best effort over hurdles when second of 18 in maiden at Punchestown (2¾m, good) 25 days ago, despite pulling hard. This slightly shorter trip could be ideal. Good form shout.

Torque De Lune (M)
Showed a lot more than previously when fourth of 10 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (19f, good to firm) 19 days ago, the longer trip suiting. Needs to take another step forward now.
