Generally disappointing on the whole for powerful stable. Well beaten last time out with form a worry. Others preferred in this company.
Solid enough return when third of 11 beaten 6½L in a Clonmel bumper. Market likely to reveal expectation now back hurdling.
Couple of solid efforts last term in bumpers at Newbury and Punchestown over around 2m but disappointed on hurdling debut at Gowran Park. More needed here.
Moving in the right direction and will thoroughly deserve his maiden hurdle win. Will need things to fall right for him but very much in the mix here.
Crillon gelding bought for €23,000 as a three-year-old. Dam was successful over hurdles in France. Well beaten on debut when never on terms. Improvement needed on hurdling debut.
Never on the premises on debut when finishing in rear division in the 2m Punchestown bumper won by Roaring Bull in April.
Beaten over 161L in a Leopardstown bumper on debut. Will need to improve a chunk to play a role in this with first-time tongue-tie fitted.
Failed to improve on promising bumper debut in January when beaten 25L at Newbury a month later. Others hold stronger profiles.
Special Kaldoun gelding by a Truth Or Dare mare. Related to multiple French winning chaser Vicomte Du Seuil. Market likely to reveal expectations.
Presenting gelding beaten 22L on debut in a Ballinrobe bumper over 1m1½f in August when in the John Bleahen yard. Tough ask and others preferred.
Improved from 19L defeat on debut at Roscommon to finish second beaten 4½L at Tramore last month, but produced a second-rate performance last month when finishing last of four at Listowel.
By Alhaarth out of a Un Desperado mare who is related to three-time hurdle winner Torpichen and 142-rated chaser Attribution. Worth a market check.
Has made steady progress over the summer culminating in a promising third of 12 beaten 4L on hurdling bow earlier this month. More progress possible here.

Forecasts
Allardyce (3/1), Cluan Dara (4/1), Midnight Stroll (11/2), Cosmo's Moon (6/1), Dom Dolo (8/1), Princess Lara (8/1), Dream Baie (12/1), Getaway Katie (12/1), Ceide Fields (12/1), Phar Island (25/1), Aroundthebridge (33/1), Backintheboom (50/1), Montauk Flyer (50/1), Royal Presenting (66/1)
If Ceide Fields takes the field along here he could set up the race for the consistent CLUAN DARA who will be travelling in behind the leader and has been showing the right signs of late. The Noel Meade-trained Princess Lara is worth a market check, while Allardyce could be interesting back hurdling.
