7/2
Has disappointed connections in a series of drab displays since the beginning of December and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel just yet.

9/1
Continues to disappoint influential owners showing poor form in a series of dismal performances since December. Looks vulnerable in this company.

11/4
Fairly solid and consistent during a summer jumping campaign last year including when finishing fourth of 12 in a Galway maiden hurdle last time out in September.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: A Ring(3)| T: D Hogan
9/4
Has shown fairly decent form over the larger obstacles without winning including chasing home all-the-way winner High Nellie last time out at Cork. Could go well if jumping fluently on hurdling debut.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: Donagh Meyler| T: T G McCourt| OR:  100
6/1
Modest 48-rated handicapper on the Flat and well beaten when sent off at 50/1 on two maiden hurdle starts before finishing sixth of 10 beaten 34L in a Thurles maiden hurdle in February. Could possibly need more time.

Kayf Thou29
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: M A Enright| T: G Elliott
25/1
Well beaten and tailed off in two maiden hurdle starts last month at Thurles and Limerick. It's conceivable the gelding may need this run before going handicapping.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-12| J: A E Lynch| T: S Neville
33/1
First-time tongue-tie is unlikely to make any difference to his form shown so far. Requires a chunk of improvement to land a blow here.

Dynamagic328
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-1| J: C D Maxwell| T: J G Cosgrave
22/1
Modest operator on the lat for previous yard and possibly best watched on first run since May last year following being gelded.

Forecasts

Robin The Hare (6/4), Hugo 'n Taz (9/4), Creadan Grae (11/4), Cluan Dara (7/2), Kalamkan (6/1), Cote Tete (9/1), Dynamagic (22/1), Kayf Thou (25/1), Legal Lord (33/1)

Verdict

ROBIN THE HARE appears to be improving with every run impressing last time out when clear second of 10 in a Cork maiden hurdle last month in first time cheekpieces and could possibly attempt to make all here. Cluan Dara and the Gordon Elliott-trained Creadan Grae can battle for the minors.
  1. Robin The Hare
  2. Cluan Dara
  3. Creadan Grae
