Scorpion gelding who cost £50,000 at the April sales following an impressive point-to-point win a month earlier. Plenty to like about his run on debut in a Listowel bumper at the harvest festival last month. Key jockey booking.
Mixing bumpers with maiden hurdles recently and needs to improve on NHF form significantly to play a part here.
Placed in bumpers in three of his last five starts including a second behind Steel Cap at Kilbeggan last month. Plenty to like about this entire and could make the frame once again.
Impressive point-to-point winner on yielding-to-soft ground at Taylorstown at the end of April. Pulled-up when weakening quickly at Downpatrick on debut in August. Place claims.
Five-bumper maiden and first time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here despite beneficial jockey booking.
Gelding by Yeats out of a Cadoudal mare. Third of six beaten 24L in a Downpatrick 2m3f bumper in August on good to yielding ground. Worth a market check.
Gelding by Frozen Fire out of a Acatenango mare. Cost €50,000 as a three-year-old. Requires special attention with the yard holding a 29% winning strike rate in bumpers since April.
Home-bred Scorpion foal, finished ninth of 13 in bumper at Kilbeggan on debut four weeks ago, needs to improve significantly to figure here.
Beaten 20L on each of his two bumper starts to date and first time tongue tie inconceivable to produce the required amount of development needed to play a role here.
Half-sister to four winners on the Flat including the game Mr Coco Bean. Needs to improve on 21L defeat on debut at Listowel last month.
Put firmly in his place by the promising Batcio at Kilbeggan on racecourse debut in August but expected to improve for that run here.
Filly by Thousand Words out of a Norwich mare. Beaten 28L on debut in a Listowel bumper last month and unlikely to trouble the judge here.
Filly by Salutino out of a Naheez mare. Half-sister to Mr Markham and Grade 2 novice chase winner Northern Alliance. Looks well out her depth here.
Getaway filly out of a Saddlers Hall mare. Closely related to recent Galway winner Awayinthewest. Beaten 43L on debut in a Ballinrobe bumper in August.
Unraced filly by Arakan out of a Royal Academy mare. Half-sister to jumps winners Vosnee Romanee and Formidableopponent. Best watched on debut.

Although having to see off the attentions of Castletown Quary in the hands of Jamie Codd, the Willie Mullins-trained PRESENTING LEAH should be really getting off the mark here under Patrick Mullins. Second on debut behind the promising Batcio, the mare was over 8L ahead of the rest of the field at Kilbeggan and can get the better of nearest rivals Everybreathyoutake and Jakoby.
