Bumper winner over 2m at this track last October and has performed with some credit in maiden hurdles lately, notably last time out when 7L fourth over 2m (yielding to soft) here earlier this month. First time tackling 3m now.
Good effort last time when fifth (beaten just 3½L) over 2m at Tramore, had previously shaped with some promise over 2m4½f at this track. Remains a maiden after ten attempts however and first attempt at the trip.
Ran credible race over C&D last month sporting first-time hood in a handicap hurdle, not quite as good since over this trip but back here, in maiden company, has to be of interest. Hood discarded now, tongue tie on.
Point-to-point winner in April and since filled second spot in that sphere before joining this yard, worth a look on rules debut though is a concern he's only coming to the track at seven.
Failed to produce much in two point-to-point runs and jumped poorly before being quickly pulled up on last month's rules bow at Ballinrobe (2m4f, good) in a maiden. Hard to make any case for him at the moment.
Has gone off short prices for all three point-to-points so far but unable to deliver, was running best race last month however when challenging late on only to be undone by the jumping. First run for new yard.
Seems to have had his issues, considering first ran in a maiden hurdle at Navan in September 2015 and just four more outings since. Best of those came last May when 2¼L second over 2m3f at Kilbeggan, may have needed recent Tramore return on sole start since and a better effort isn't to be ruled out for trainer that won this race 12 months ago.
Fairly moderate ability shown in succession of point-to-point runs and finished 48L behind winner over C&D earlier this month on rules bow. Doesn't make any appeal on that effort.
Shaped well enough on return to action in 2m4f handicap at Tipperary in May, beaten just over 10L in third of 18. Didn't build on that since at Limerick but deserves respect now back in maiden company.
Little sign of ability in four bumpers or hurdles bow, but produced best effort to date over 2m5f at Tramore (good to firm) this month and can be given claims on the back of that now going up in trip.
Well beaten in two maiden hurdles thus far, the step up to 3m will need to draw significant improvement from the filly if she's to have a say in this.
Oscar mare didn't demonstrate anything on debut over extended 2m at Punchestown late last month (beaten 84L) to merit consideration for this, steps up significantly in trip here.
Filly failed to complete in all five point-to-point outings, though she was often prominent in the market. Makes rules bow in this and probably going to be best watched for now.
Well beaten in three bumpers and similar story in both hurdles outings to date, She goes up significantly in trip now and did travel with some promise at Tramore last time over 2m so isn't one to write off completely.

CRESUS DE GRISSAY ran a fine race in a C&D handicap last month and has since been respectable over this trip in similar company at Limerick, so this drop into maiden class gives the gelding a decent chance to open his account. He also ran well enough here in October over a shorter distance and may be improved now. Chestnut Brave comes here on the back of his best effort to date at Tramore and rates a fair danger upped to 3m while Play The Part, who won a bumper here, is another worth noting having run well over shorter at the track last time out. Sweet Home Chicago and Ballinahow Bill are others of some interest.
