Maiden after 14 starts including two runs over hurdles this spring. Beaten 23L at Cork (good) last time but remains open to improvement.
Well held in three maiden hurdle races so far. Finished 53L behind the winner at Punchestown (good) over an extended 2m last time and likely to struggle.
Well held in two maiden hurdle outings early last month. Beaten 68L at Cork (good) on the most recent of those and more needed here.
Well held on both starts so far including when 11th of 17 on hurdling debut at Listowel (yielding) earlier this month. Others make more appeal today.
Finished fourth of 16 beaten 17L in a 2m1f bumper at Killarney (good) on his most recent start last month. Worth a check in the market on hurdling debut here.
Maiden after 11 starts on the Flat. Finished runner-up twice at Dundalk in low grade handicaps this spring but well held last time and making his hurdling debut today.
Had just the two starts over hurdles so far and better effort than on debut when 27L sixth of ten at Clonmel (good) last time. Drops back in trip today.
Unraced Presenting gelding cost €40,000 as a foal in November 2013. Dam a half-sister to useful staying chaser Shutthefrontdoor amongst others and worth a check in the market on debut.
Failed to figure in two bumpers and a similar story on hurdling debut over an extended 2m4f at Punchestown (good) a fortnight ago. Probably best watched here.
Fair effort when finishing tenth of 16 on debut in a competitive bumper at Punchestown (good-to-yielding) in April. Worth a check in the market for a good yard on hurdling debut.
Placed a couple of times on the Flat in handicap company over 1m. Well beaten sixth in that sphere last time but represents a leading stable and every chance he will fare better over hurdles.
Maiden after 14 starts on the Flat and well held over 1m at Dundalk in December when last in action. Debuts over hurdles and for a new stable here.
Unraced Dark Angel gelding cost €26,000 as a yearling in 2014. Half-brother to Gerty's Man, ran twice in bumpers last year and probably best watched on debut here.
Finished in the first three in each of his six starts on the Flat for Mark Johnston. Beaten 3L over 1m1f on good-to-firm ground in the latest of those at Hamilton last August and makes his debut for this yard and over hurdles in this.
Unraced home-bred daughter of Strategic Prince. Dam a 23 race maiden and probably best watched on her racecourse debut in this.
23 race maiden on the Flat. Ran well to finished 5L third of 17 over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park (yielding-to-soft) last time and makes her hurdling debut today. First reserve.

FIRST CLASS TICKET ran well to finish fourth behind a useful Flat horse on his second start over hurdles at Punchestown last month and he is taken to defeat Super Bowl in this. The latter represents leading connections and while he showed only modest form on the Flat at two and three he is likely to prove better over hurdles. Of their rivals here second reserve Kalanisi Repre caught the eye on debut and is another to note.
