Show odds
No impression on winner when finishing second of 20 beaten 6L in a Down Royal maiden hurdle on heavy ground in January. Another bold show looks likely.
Nothing of note in three career maiden hurdle starts since December including when being pulled up at 100/1 in a Cork contest earlier this month tailed off before tow out. Unlikely to play a part here.
Has not transferred decent bumper form to hurdles with two drab displays here and last time out when beaten 42L in a Leopardstown maiden on soft ground over 2m4f. Will need to improve in this company.
Six race maiden under rules and well beaten in two races over timber including beaten 101L behind Allardyce earlier this month. Hard to fancy.
Well beaten and never a factor in either maiden hurdle starts since the turn of the year including a 57L defeat last month. Hard to see where improvement is coming from.
Well beaten on debut back in February 2017 before returning in January suffering two heavy defeats at Fairyhouse and last month at Tramore.
Craigsteel gelding out of an Oscar mare related to Big Zeb, Oscar Whisky and recent Aintree runner-up Wholestone. Tough ask on debut.
Modest Indian Danehill gelding who was well beaten in two career maiden hurdle starts when last seen in September. Market possibly best guide on return.
Caught the eye on stable debut when hampered before finishing third of 10 beaten over 9L in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last month. Improvement a possibility but a tough ask here.
Ridden in rear for most of the race when never a factor on debut earlier this month in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle over 2m on soft to heavy ground. Worth a market check on second start.
Kept on well when headed to finish second in a 3m point-to-point when last seen in April 2017. Joins a powerful yard and market likely to reveal expectations.
Finished 15L adrift of Cheltenham festival winner Laurina at Tramore in December but subsequently well beaten on two starts since the turn of the year. Improvement needed but not ruled out.
Forecasts
Falak (2/1), All Good Things (11/4), Mag Brady (7/2), Isle Of Destiny (8/1), Robin Can Do (12/1), El Rouli (14/1), Casadel Sol (25/1), Free Code (50/1), Eusebius (50/1), The Rebel Knight (66/1), Messie (66/1), Greenandwhitearmy (66/1)
All Good Things has led in the past and could well give a nice pull in to the race to FALAK who can build on his promising second of 20 beaten 6L in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in January and landing the spoils here. Rules newcomer Isle Of Destiny and Robin Can Do are the ones for minor honours.
