Agameoftwohalves (G)
Walk In The Park gelding offered something to work on when sixth of 22 in novice hurdle at Navan (20.2f, heavy, 9/1) on NH debut 28 days ago. Entitled to improve.

Anodandawink (G)
Twice-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 24 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) 23 days ago. Little appeal this side of handicaps.

Bergamasquo (G)
Karaktar gelding. Dam half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Real Steel. Runner-up both completed starts in points and pulled clear of the remainder when second of 18 in novice hurdle (5/2) at Gowran (16.1f, heavy) on …

Coolboy Christy (G)
Bumper placed and finished eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.4f, good, 33/1) 146 days ago, not knocked about. Looks one for handicaps.

Eye Contact (G)
Modest maiden on the Flat and offered little when twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago.

Head To Capri (G)
Showed nothing when pulled up in novice hurdle (25/1) at Listowel (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 79 days ago (found to be clinically abnormal). Upped in trip with plenty to prove.

Larzac (G)

[T]
Pipped by useful Live Conti on his only outing in France for J. Boisnard but didn't get competitive in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham/Ballymore at Punchestown. Upped in trip and makes plenty of appeal faced with a much easier assignment …

Lincoln Du Seuil (G)
Won his sole start in bumpers for M. Seror in France but was easy to back and shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) on stable/hurdle debut. That form has substance and he's likely to be…

Needs Must (G)
Didn't improve for debut when seventh of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16.9f, good, 25/1). Off 8 months (longer trip should suit) but looks to be being brought along with handicaps in mind.

Open Secret (G)
[T]
Fairly useful Flat winner for Charlie Johnston and promise on both hurdle starts for Gordon Elliott, chasing home an improver who had the run of the race at Wexford (20f) on soft ground last time. May have a fitness-edge over a few and ano…

Puma's Dream (G)
Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/useful chase winner Maxxum but shaped like a longer-term project on debut for top yard at Cork last month.

Raise You Up (G)
Runner-up sole outing in points and finished fourth of 8 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Should appreciate this greater test of stamina now sent hurdling by capable stable.

Surrey Force (G)
Fair maiden at best on Flat (stays 2¼m) and showed aptitude for hurdling when 125/1, eighth of 22 in novice hurdle at Navan (20.2f, heavy) on NH debut 28 days ago. Likely to progress at some stage, but that may be in handicaps.

Theabsolutegov'nor (G)
€18,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding showed a bit amid greenness when eighth of 19 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, good, 20/1) on NH debut 140 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and looks the type to improve with time.

Urbs Intacta Manet (G)

Magic Hands Noel (M)
Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighteenth of 24 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) 23 days ago. Hard to fancy this side of handicaps.

Nirisque (M)
Promising effort when second in fillies' juvenile at Compiegne (17.9f, soft) on hurdling debut/sole start for N. George & A. Zetterholm. Has joined an excellent yard and is one to be interested in on U.K. debut.

Susie Lenglen (M)
Promising runner-up on hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (20f) and arrives on back of two solid efforts in bumpers, winning 6-runner bumper at Tramore (16.2f, soft) 20 days ago, holding on gamely. Open to improvement back over hurdles.
