Son of Millenary and a half-brother to the useful jumps performer Kusadasi. Tailed off when pulled up two out on debut and looks opposable on second start.
Point-to-point winner in November before producing a solid effort behind Defi Bleu on rules debut in a Navan bumper. Market likely to reveal expectations.
Nothing of note in two drab displays in low-grade bumpers last season before well beaten and no impression on hurdling debut at Thurles recently. Looks vulnerable in this company.
Inconsistent in three point-to-point starts before being left toiling in two career bumper starts when last seen in 2016. Hard to construct a case for him on return to the track.
Modest in three point-to-point starts and finished well behind on maiden hurdle debut at Naas, 64L behind the winner. Plenty to find in this contest.
Erratic form in four point-to-point starts before a 39L defeat when well beaten on hurdling debut in a Down Royal maiden last month. Looks up against it here.
Beaten 15L into third in a Galway bumper in August. Well held at Kilbeggan later that month and making his hurdling debut for a new yard today. Worth a market check.
Brian Boru gelding out of a Buckskin mare related to multiple winners Fox Appeal, Sub Lieutenant and recent Huntingdon victor Kincora Fort. May need to experience here.
Scorpion gelding who cost €14,500 as a foal. Half-brother 0/3 in maiden hurdles. Promising debut beaten 10L finishing sixth of 24 in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in December. Can improve on that run in first-time hood.
Yeats gelding out of a Great Palm mare related to Holly Bush Henry, Thomas Campbell and recent Wincanton victor Silverhow. Market possibly best guide on debut.
Well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle before slight promise on last start at Limerick over Christmas. Can be expected to improve again for powerful trainer/jockey combination.
Gelding by Kingsalsa out of a Passing Sale mare related to Captain Conan, Samstown and recent Navan maiden hurdle winner Dis Donc. Will come on for debut run here.
Solid enough in two of his three point-to-point starts winning on latest start in October but showed nothing on debut in a Naas maiden hurdle when 77L behind the winner. Plenty to prove in this company.
Not a lot to shout about in two maiden hurdle starts at Fairyhouse and Navan beaten a total of 187L and another struggle looks on the cards here.
Cost E100,000 as a 3-y-o, from same yard as On The Mend . Well beaten last time out under Barry Geraghty weakening four out. Sure to improve on that run but plenty to do in this contest.
Not particularly impressive when fourth of eight on debut at Down Royal in December before a slightly improved performance at Naas last month. Will need to improve to figure.
Beaten a total of 157L on two maiden hurdle starts at this track. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.
Frozen Fire gelding out of a Saint Cyrien mare. Sire won the Irish Derby in 2008 but has so far failed to set the bloodstock world on fire. Others preferred.
Seventh of 13 in a Leopardstown bumper on debut for connections in December before a much more promising run at Gowran Park finishing third of 20. Improvement looks to be on the cards.
Has failed to muster any impression in a number of discordant point-to-point starts with market likely to be the best guide on first start for new yard.
Network mare who should be capable of finding a small race somewhere over hurdles on the pick of her efforts in bumpers before an eye-catching fourth behind Lackaneen Leader on hurdling debut earlier this month.
Impossible to fancy following four dismal career performances including two heavy maiden hurdle defeats before refusing at Limerick last time out.
Well beaten and no impression in two career maiden hurdle starts at Punchestown and here when beaten 57L last month. Unlikely to be involved in the finish.

I Am Sailing, The White Volcano and Dynamic Allen could battle for the lead in the early stages of this competitive opener where AT YOUR EASE, one of seven J P McManus-owned runners in the field, can build on his debut run at Leopardstown to land this prize in first-time hood. Whisperinthebreeze and Crezic can hit the frame.
