Three time winner on soft ground puts this Flemensfirth mare firmly in the mix. Will look to improve on runner-up position at Fairyhouse last time out.
A €105,000 Kayf Tara mare, closely related to Don Poli, rare Gigginstown runner for this trainer who finished fourth of nine on debut as an odds on favourite at Clonmel. Expected to improve.
Ask mare cost €11,000 as a three-year-old. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser with plenty stamina. Promising fourth of 10 beaten over 18L on rules debut.
Has had a torrid time of it in two bumper starts at Punchestown and Thurles beaten a total of 51L. Others make more appeal.
3L winner of a Tinahely point-to-point last month in a 3m mares maiden, and makes her rules debut here. Worth a market check.
Promising debut when third to Aspen Colorado in a Leopardstown bumper in January 2016, and too much to do when staying on into mid-field there in December. Well beaten last time out.
Towards rear on debut beaten 22L at Navan in a 2m maiden hurdle behind Ratoute Yutty last month. Looks out of her depth here.
Beaten 110L last time out in a Cork maiden hurdle over 2m on soft to heavy last month. Out of her depth here and a torrid time looks on the cards.
Encouraging start on seasonal debut when fourth of 14 beaten over 11L behind Billy Flight when last seen in May. Others preferred.
Has started at sizeable odds on all eight career starts so far, and shown no improvement whatsoever since switched to hurdles.
Probably needed the run on seasonal debut when finishing third of eight beaten over 11L in a 2m Cork bumper following an earlier win in April. Worth a market check.
Cost just €600 and is a half-sister to a winning point-to-pointer. Completely tailed off on debut at Downpatrick before another heavy defeat at the same track in August.
Has generally struggled in handicap hurdles over the summer before returning to the point-to-point division. May find this tough.
Well beaten on her last two starts despite her form figures. Will need to improve a chunk to play a role here.
Well beaten and no impression in two maiden hurdles before a promising run when when falling three out at Thurles. Not to be easily discounted.
Promising third of 16 on maiden hurdle debut at Fairyhouse last month over 2m4f on soft to heavy. Worth a market check.
Seasoned bumper runner winning last time out at Wexford. Could be an exciting recruit on much anticipated hurdling debut.
Solid in the point-to-point ranks and consistent bumper form transferred to a promising maiden hurdle third of 18 on debut before an unseat last time out at Thurles when badly hampered. Notable jockey booking.
Had a torrid time of it in bumpers this time last year before a similar story in the point-to-point ranks. Tough ask.
Won her point-to-point in February before a second-rate last of nine in a Galway maiden hurdle in October. Others preferred.
Fifth of 11 beaten 10L on maiden hurdle debut on heavy ground over 2m6f at Punchestown. Looks a tall order.
Possibly needed the run on seasonal debut when finishing ninth of 13 beaten 58L in Downpatrick maiden hurdle before a promising second of eight last time out. May find this tough.
Flemsfirth filly out of a Glacial Storm mare. Yard two winners from 31 starts this season but best watched here on debut.
Out of a Nononito mare by Denham Red. Could be an interesting prospect for the yard who scored with Discorama earlier in the month at Fairyhouse.
Very little to shout about in two bumpers and three outings over hurdles. Can only be watched until revealing more ability.

Martello Tower from the Mags Mullins yard could make the early running in this contest with Monastery and the selection A HARDY NAILER chasing in behind. The eight-year-old will look to improve on runner-up position at Fairyhouse last time out. Shimmer Rock and Lackaneen Leader can battle for the minor honours.
