Antoine De Paris (G)

William F Browne (G)
[P]
Fair Flat winner, well beaten on return in that sphere at the Curragh (6f) 3 weeks ago. Little appeal on hurdles debut.

Casual Water (G)
Half-brother to numerous winners, including dual Champion Chase winner Altior and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Princess Leya. 4/1, easy to back and was given a considerate introduction on debut at Limerick (3m) 4 weeks ago. Can impr…

Dahab (G)
[T1]
Fair Flat maiden but hasn't offered enough in 2 hurdle starts to think he can make a significant impact fitted with tongue tie here for new yard.

Denham Rock (G)
Mahler gelding out of a 2m-21f hurdle winner. 28/1, given a considerate introduction in Punchestown bumper a fortnight ago. Goes hurdling now.

First Ascent (G)
[T]
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat (stays 13f) for Matthew J. Smith. Clearly wasn't 100% on the day sent hurdling for new yard at Roscommon (2m. 7/2) in September in usual tongue strap.

Hey Now (G)
FAV
Shaped better than the bare result in maiden bumper at Naas and encouragement to be taken from fifth-placed effort on hurdles debut at Clonmel (2m, heavy) in March. Open to improvement and likely contender in this company.

Aidan Kelly | A McNamara | 5 | 71.7 kg |

Saint Peregrine (G)
Winless in 14 starts, although his 2 best efforts over hurdles have come over C&D. Place claims on first run for 6 months.

Screaming Eagle (G)
Fair maiden on the Flat who has finished mid-field in a couple of attempts in this sphere and returns from a year off here. Will be of more interest when sent handicapping.

Finns First (G)
Half-brother to fair hurdler Iknowwhereiamnow. 125/1, looked badly in need of the experience in 17f Bellewstown juvenile hurdle on debut 3 weeks ago.

Game Point (G)
[H1]
Fair maiden on the Flat, hasn't returned in much form for new yard. Hood goes on for hurdles debut and worth a look in a thin race.

Lilac Lady (M)
Fair maiden hurdler who ran well when third in C&D handicap in October when last seen. That form has a solid look to it and she has a good shout in this company.

Tawny Lea (M)
Jukebox Jury mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser Duke of Navan. Not overfaced for debut and worth a look.
