Fair Flat performer whose best effort in three starts over hurdles saw him finish third of 14 in an ordinary contest at Bellewstown. Has not won any sort of contest since October, 2014, and needs to find more.
Point-to-point and bumper winner who has suffered from jumping problems over hurdles, but managed to get round when a decent second at Downpatrick last time. Should be able to build on that with confidence restored.
Gradual improvement in bumpers and won at the third time of asking at Clonmel. Makes his hurdling debut and has to be of major interest for his powerful stable.
Moderate Flat performer who has won three of his 65 races. Interesting to see how he performs on his hurdling debut.
Beaten only a head at Clonmel two starts ago, but not so good on his return to that track last time. Others make more appeal.
Runner-up twice in point-to-points, but was well held on hurdling debut at Punchestown. Best watched until showing more.
Moderate four-race maiden on the Flat who was in rear throughout on his hurdling debut at Downpatrick. Needs to take a giant step forward if he is to figure.
Cost connections £50,000 after finishing second in a point-to-point last December. One of three runners for his good stable and well worth a market check on debut.
Son of Beneficial who cost €45,000 as a three-year-old and shaped promisingly when third of 14 on debut at KIlbeggan. Obvious contender for leading connections.
Has finished third in a couple of maiden hurdles and was not disgraced when fifth of 20 at Downpatrick last time. May be vulnerable to less exposed types.
Beaten huge distance on both starts in bumpers, she has her first attempt at jumping hurdles. Others have much stronger profiles.

Forecasts
Hardline (5/2), Itsonlyrocknroll (11/4), Mount Hanover (3/1), Schmidt (4/1), Howluckycanwebe (20/1), Felix Mendelssohn (20/1), Balinaboola Steel (20/1), Trojan Lass (33/1), Hernandoshideaway (33/1), Credo Vivo (50/1), The Lady Of Brega (50/1), Wendals Girl (100/1), Michael James (100/1), Rockview Emperor (100/1)
A line can be put through plenty of these. Mount Hanover and Schmidt give their trainer a strong hand, while Hardline should be a leading contender now he looks as though he has ironed out his jumping problems. Preference, though, is for ITSONLYROCKNROLL, who landed a bumper last time and can score at the first time of asking over hurdles for his leading stable.
