Don Jefe (G)
Progressive form in maiden hurdles, looking suited by step up to 2½m when comprehensively winning a maiden at Fairyhouse in February. Progress came to an abrupt halt when pulled up on last month's handicap debut.

Master Haku (G)
Promising sort who overcame the odd sign of greenness when landing the odds in 14-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m, good to soft) 17 days ago. Up in trip, which should suit and open to improvement for his leading yard.

Midnight Jet (G)
FAV
Bumper winner who produced a big career best when winning 25-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, soft, 9/2) 37 days ago. That form looks solid and he's very much the one to beat.

Columbus (G)
Smart Flat winner who was 5½ lengths sixth of 7 to Eydon in Gran Premio del Jockey Club at Milan (1½m, good). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Christophe Ferland (€400,000) and having joined Willie Mullins, he's a very class …

L'as De Watt (G)
Too green to show true worth in a bumper but sent off 66/1 he offered much more when second of 13 in novice hurdle at Cork (2m, good to soft) on hurdles bow, albeit flattered by proximity to winner. Off 6 months and up in trip.

Mr Hollywood (G)
Useful Flat winner, winning 6-runner minor event at Toulouse (1½m, good, 7/10). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving H-A. Pantall and he's another potentially useful recruit for Willie Mullins.
