Modestly rated 53 on the Flat for trainer-Elizabeth Doyle and finished ninth of 12 well held on sole maiden hurdle start over 12-months ago sent off at 40/1. Watching brief here.
Largely well held in a couple of maiden hurdle starts to date and looks more of a long-term prospect.
Beaten over 30L in sole point-to-point start before a 35L defeat on maiden hurdle debut in a Wexford 2m4f contest last month. Has word to do on first run.
Well held and has finished down the field in three maiden hurdle starts since June. Hard to construct much of a case for her.
Generally well beaten in three career bumper starts to date. Market possibly the best guide on hurdling debut.
Well beaten in six poor bumper starts before a promising seventh of 17 beaten 5¾L in a Limerick 2m maiden hurdle on debut last month. Improvement possible and worth a market check.
Has appeared over-whelmed in a number of desolate maiden hurdle performances to date and others looked to be progressing at a quicker rate.
Daughter of Westerner out of a Kadalko mare. Half sister to hardy types Gilgamboa and Wakanda. Will most likely pay her way in years to come.
Not disgraced but will need to step up her progression sooner rather than later following three maiden hurdle defeats in her short career.
Distance winner who landed a 2m bumper here last month on good to firm ground. Market likely to reveal expectations on maiden hurdle debut.
Daughter of Scorpion out of a Anshan mare. Half-sister to Don't Touch It and Might Bite. Expected to progress with age.
Appears to be improving with every start. Fifth of 17 beaten 3½L in a Limerick 2m maiden hurdle last month the daughter of Scorpion can go well if jumping fluently.
Improved on previous starts when finishing third of 25 beaten 9L in a Punchestown 2m½f maiden hurdle on good ground in June. Needs to progress but not ruled out.
Has finished third on her last two starts but has largely been well held on both occasions at Tipperary and Kilbeggan. Vast improvement needed to figure here.
Shantou gelding that cost €14,000 as a three-year-old. Dam was fairly useful on the flat and over hurdles winning over 2m-2m4f. Pulled up before two out on debut at Tipperary in May and much more needed here.
Largely well held in three career bumper starts including a 46L defeat at Limerick last month. May find this a tough assignment.
Nothing of note in a couple of spins around Killarney and here last month when soundly beaten on each start. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Well beaten and no impression when sent off the 11/4f on her most recent start in a Wexford maiden hurdle over 2m last month. Improvement likely, but when? remains to be seen.
Has finished tailed off and well down the field in three career starts starts including in a couple of below-par maiden hurdle performances. Very little to be positive about.
Not shown any great signs of ability on four starts so far on the Flat nor did she in a 24L defeat in a maiden hurdle here last month. Requires a chunk of improvement to land a blow here.
Not disgraced in three bumper starts to date and the daughter of Beat Hollow can be expected to improve over timber. Worth a market check.
Vinnie Roe filly is a half-sister to fair 2m6f hurdle winner Citizen Al. Tailed off seventh of 13 beaten 81L on hurdling debut at Killarney recently and looks a long-term prospect.
Well held on sole start over hurdles but improved on the Flat since the turn of the year. Could surprise back over timber.
Just the two starts and did shape with some promise at Killarney (on second of those before fading to finish sixth. Joined Gavin Cromwell since and worth a look in the betting.

Despite being all out close home when winning here last month the Willie Mullins-trained KORELOVA can come on for the win there to land the opener here under Ruby Walsh. The seven-year-old is expected to step up in this contest seeing off the attentions of potential improver Boragh Beat and Our Roxanne. Fox Dream could surprise at a nice price reverting back to hurdles.
