Amen Kate (M)
1 win from 3 runs this season. 1/3, career best when winning 6-runner novice hurdle at Galway (16f, soft) 46 days ago. Open to more improvement.

Carry On Heidi (M)
Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in October. 13/2, good fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. This requires plenty more though.

Chosen Comrade (M)
2 wins from 2 runs this season, easily landing 11-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (16.3f, soft, 6/4) on hurdles bow 53 days ago. Should have more to offer so she's a likely player.

Divaboriva (M)
Fairly useful hurdler. 30 lengths last of 5 to Good Girl Kathleen in Gr 3 hurdle at Cork (24.4f, soft, 9/2) 4 days ago. Back down in trip.

Echoing Silence (M)
Promising sort who bagged 15-runner novice hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 39 days ago by 6 lengths from Divaboriva. Scored comfortably there and merits serious consideration.

Neon Diamond (M)
[P]
Fair hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Killarney in July. Last of 4 in handicap hurdle (15/8) at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to firm) 123 days ago. Trainer going well so could bounce back.

Switch From Diesel (M)
FAV
Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Good second of 22 in novice at Navan (16f, heavy, 5/4) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Capable of better but this is no easy ask though.
