Last of eight and tailed off in a bumper last time. Has plenty to find and may need softer ground.
Dual point-to-point winner. Down the field on his rules debut at Tramore. Looks up against it here with yard 3-119 with their hurdlers in the past five seasons.
Off the track six months since finishing tailed off over fences at Sligo. Hard to be positive on that basis.
Scored on bumper debut and showed promise in first two runs over hurdles. Has gone the wrong way since and blinkers are now tried.
Has looked poor over fences and now switches attention to hurdles. Difficult to make a case based on recent evidence.
Has teased us with an additional glimpse of some promise only to fail to deliver. Tackles a new trip in a bid to give trainer his first winner in five seasons.
Impressive winner of his bumper in 2015 on decent going. Has been keen in his three runs back from an absence and that raises slight concerns about his ability to see out this longer trip. Top rider booked and has claims if settling better.
Yard have been in good form lately and this stoutly bred gelding settled better on his hurdling debut last time. Should have more to offer over his extra mile.
Has looked most disappointing so far and was reported in distress after his latest run. Hard to recommend at present.
Winning pointer who was returning from a near two year absence when tailed off last time. May need more time.
Winning point-to-pointer who has weakened rapidly in the closing stages of all his races over a range of distances. Reportedly burst a blood vessel when weakening and falling last time.
Winner of 2m4f bumper so this trip should suit. Showed promise on hurdles debut and something must have been amiss last time. Respected with good jockey booked.
Signs of ability in his two starts to date. Looks the type to improve on what we have seen so far.
Failed to complete any of his three point-to-points and tailed off on rules debut. Tough to see him being competitive.
Was running well around this time last year and has lost her way since. Better ground may help but remains a risky proposition.
Has failed to score in 16 previous attempts over hurdles. Attracted support on her last two starts when ridden positively. Question is can she stay this far if ridden he same way?
Well beaten at 100/1 when a distant fourth last time. In good hands but may be one for handicaps going forward.

In form Robbie Power teams up with the promising LOUGHADERRA PRINCE. He won his bumper on better ground than he has had to race on since. The son of Oscar has raced freely following a break but if settling better he can beat some of his more exposed rivals who have looked ordinary. Vinylhaven, Gettysburg Address and High Nellie would come into that category. In contrast Goose Man, Penance and Winsome Bucks are all potentially better than we have seen so far.
- Loughaderra Prince
- Goose Man
- Winsome Bucks
