Not disgraced in a couple of handicap hurdles in July for relatively new connections but liable to find one or two quicker here.
Finally won his bumper at Tramore last month getting off the mark for connections at the fifth attempt. Market possibly the best guide on hurdling debut.
Not disgraced in a couple of maiden hurdles to date though did finish down the field on each occasion and looking a little one paced in both contests. Out of form recently and hard to fancy.
7f winner on heavy ground for Johnny Murtagh has achieved very little since on the flat and over hurdles.
Modest 78-rated handicapper on the Flat winning one of his eight starts on the level. Market to be informative here.
Without a win in six hurdle starts. Well held in a novice hurdle at the Galway festival in July but note should be taken of his run at Cork in April. Not one to totally leave out of calculations.
Poor 12-race maiden on the Flat rated a lowly 45. Hard to see him making any significant impact on hurdling debut.
Desolate form in a couple of bumpers recently and first time tongue-tie doubtful to bring about the required amount of progress needed to play a role here.
70-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer Dermot Weld and looks a long-term prospect on debut for new connections.
Getaway filly out of a Jamesmead mare. Half-sister to Getabird and Verdana Blue. Last of 14 beaten 28L in a mistake-filled debut at Tramore last month.
Plenty to like about her third start over hurdles when finishing second of 14 beaten 3L in a Tramore 2m maiden hurdle last month. Could be capable of having her say here.
Highly thought of to be tried in Graded bumpers in the spring - well beaten - and maybe worthy of a check in the market following a couple of encouraging maiden hurdle spins last month.
Daughter of Milan out of a Topanoora mare. Half-sister to winners Jezki and Duke Of Lucca but looks a long-term prospect.
First Reserve: 21-race maiden in both codes with a regressive profile. Hard to construct much of a case for him here.

The run over 1m4f at Bellewstown last month could have TENTH AMENDMENT spot on for this hurdle run, enabling the four-year-old to get off the mark for connections at the fifth attempt building on his second of 18 beaten ¾L in a Roscommon maiden when last seen over timber in June. The improving and consistent Misty Mountain can give the selection the most to think about while Galtymore and Arctic Sofia can battle for the remaining place.
