Finished runner-up on each of his last three point-to-point starts and worth a check in the market as he embarks on a rules career following a break.
Placed three times from four starts over hurdles so far. Beaten 4L in a 2m4f maiden hurdle on heavy ground here in February and one to note upped in trip on seasonal debut.
12 race maiden but has placed in maiden hurdles in the past including at Gowran Park (soft-to-heavy) on his penultimate outing. Disappointed last time however and more needed today.
Placed in a point-to-point on debut and ran well in a bumper over 2m here back in April. Well held at Down Royal (soft) earlier this month and making his hurdling debut today.
Finished runner-up in three point-to-points but failed to complete the last twice and probably best watched on his debut under rules.
Sent off a big price but ran well when finishing ninth in a bumper on good-to-yielding ground here on debut in the spring. Interesting to see how he fares now sent over hurdles.
Signs of promise when finishing 27L fifth at Galway (soft-to-heavy) in a maiden hurdle on his racecourse debut last month. Has a fair bit to find with Cosmo's Moon on that form.
Placed on each of her last three outings including on hurdling debut at Naas (soft-to-heavy) last time out. Represents leading connections stepping up markedly in trip today.
Unraced gelding by Getaway bought cheaply for €3,200 as a three-year-old last year. Half-brother to the useful Powersbomb and worth a check in the market on his racecourse debut.

MIGHTY STOWAWAY finished a decent third in a similar race to this when last in action back in February. With similar conditions forecast today the selection can take this on his first attempt at the trip with Stooshie, a good second behind a promising individual at Naas last week taken to claim second. The booking of Ruby Walsh for Cosmo's Moon catches the eye and he can take third on his first attempt at this trip.
