Solid and consistent form in three bumpers over the summer months and sure to have plenty of supporters on hurdling debut with powerful trainer/jockey combination in tow.
Last seen winning a Punchestown maiden hurdle on good ground in May 2015. The gelding lost the race following the discovery of a banned substance. Entitled to need this run after a break.
Two solid runs at Limerick and here on first two hurdle starts finishing runner-up in both. One to consider in first-time tongue-tie.
Beaten favourite last time out in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle, when second of nine. Should go well with conditions to suit.
Well known veteran who is a maiden over hurdles after six starts. Fifth of 10 at the Galway Festival before a respectable effort at Killarney last time.
Hard to see what improvement first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces combo will bring and it's been a while since he has shown some ability. Others preferred.
Difficult to see what improvement first-time tongue-tie will bring for a gelding beaten a total of 222L in three starts.
Not seen since a 122L, tailed off defeat at Tipperary last time out in October last year. Best to leave this one.
Sent off at big prices in his last five starts and has even failed to finish in his last two, pulled-up in both. First-time hood combined with blinkers needs to see him improve.
Mustameet gelding that's bred to be decent in time, although may need more time than this. Well beaten on debut at Down Royal in May and entitled to need the run here.
Point-to-point winner, third on debut in a Tramore maiden hurdle, that may turn out better than it was. Best watched here though.

Go Another One and Iolani will give their best but it will take something special to get the better of ANYTIME NOW after winning last time out and with more improvement likely.
