Four Springs (G)

€82,000 after easily winning sole start in Irish points in May. Interesting hurdle newcomer, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

Hey Buddy (G)
Fair form in bumpers in the spring. Better in novice hurdles this autumn when third of 9 over C&D a fortnight ago. May do better again.

Kool Kid (G)
Course bumper winner in February but only modest form in maiden/novice hurdles in recent weeks. Retains potential but improvement needed.

Land Of Punt (G)
Clear when fell last sole start in points in March. Well backed to make a winning hurdle debut at Chepstow 3 weeks ago weakened to finish a remote ninth of 14. Evidently thought capable of better.

Liam Mera Kai (G)
Bumper winner on debut in March and made a promising start over hurdles when third of 13 at Huntingdon (2m, good) 7 months later. Open to improvement and leading claims.

Lully Du Houx (G)
Buck's Boum gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/smart chaser Epson du Houx. Dam maiden chaser in France. The yard has been doing well in similar races so market confidence could prove significant.

Raging Al (G)

Fair maiden on Flat but made an inauspicious start over hurdles at Exeter last week, pulling hard in a clear head when trying to refuse and unseating at the second.

Ballylicky Bay (M)
Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and made a winning start under Rules in a Bangor bumper in June. Looked badly in need of experience when distant last of 3 on Wetherby hurdle debut 4 months later. Should be capable of bette…
