Modest and poor 53-rated handicapper on the Flat and unlikely to play a role at the business end of the contest.
Failed to build on an eye-catching effort at Cork when finishing last of eight beaten 21L in a Naas maiden hurdle over 2m last month. Hard to fancy.
Signs of ability in seven outings on the Flat but finished well beaten in a handicap on his final start for Joseph Murphy. Beaten 165L on hurdling and stable debut last month and best left here.
Not a lot to shout about in two hurdle starts beaten a total of 154L. Tough ask and others preferred.
Looks to be heading in the right direction finishing second on both maiden hurdle starts beaten ¾L on each occasion. Improvement looks to be on the cards and another bold show looks likely.
Below-par performance on debut when ninth of 13 beaten 47L in a 3-Y-O hurdle at Listowel in September. Vast improvement needed here.
Picked up for 35,000 gns from William Haggas in July. Well beaten in two maiden hurdle starts at Naas and Fairyhouse in January and earlier this month. Looks opposable.
Modest Flat performer in France by Soldier Hollow out of a Monsun mare related top Shirocco and recent Bangor-On-Dee winner Tawseef. Likely to be a warm order on debut for powerful connections.
Modest in three Flat starts in the Autumn and well beaten on hurdling debut before another heavy defeat at Limerick on St Stephens day. Looks vulnerable in this company.
A 77-rated handicapper for English trainer Harry Dunlop, winning over 1m2f at Salisbury in August. Well behind on both hurdle starts for current yard and much more of the same expected here.
Fell on sole point-to-point start earlier this month and hard to construct much of a case for him on stable debut.
11-race maiden on the Flat and plenty of work to do based on what she has shown on hurdling debut.
Has achieved little of note in three Flat maidens and was beaten over 40L despite finishing fourth on her hurdles debut at Limerick before another 44L defeat last month and hard to fancy here.
Much improved performance when fourth of eight beaten 3¼L in a Naas maiden hurdle last month but looks up against it here.
Rated just 47 on the Flat, and is an 13 race maiden. Made the frame on her hurdles debut at Cork last month before a 24L defeat at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Difficult to fancy here.
Forecasts
Saldier (15/8), Les Arceaux (9/4), Park Paddocks (6/1), Strange Notions (6/1), Tildas Icon (10/1), Make It Hurrah (14/1), Viking Hoard (20/1), Galtymore (20/1), Cristal Icon (25/1), Young Dev (25/1), Big Ego (33/1), Still Alive (33/1), Guido Reni (33/1), Harlow (33/1), Petite Gina (50/1)
While the early pace could come from the likes of Big Ego, Galtymore, Tildas Icon and Les Arceaux, those at the top of the market will have to go some to reel in Triumph hurdle entry SALDIER from powerful owner/trainer combination.
