Modest five race maiden for trainer Harry Fry when last seen over 18-months ago. Best watched on stable debut.
Well down the field in a number of dismal starts to date. Beaten 105L here in a maiden hurdle earlier this month. Impossible to make a case for.
Too many mistakes and lack of pace late on the main reasons for a disappointing maiden hurdle debut defeat at Tipperary earlier this month. Others preferred.
Point-to-point and a Fairyhouse bumper winner before finishing tailed off in a Grade 2 national hunt Flat race at Leopardstown when last seen in February. Likely to be well prepped for hurdling introduction.
Hard to be too enthusiastic after being tailed off on recent hurdles bow at Punchestown. Others likely to perform better.
Gelding by Moon Ballad out of a Teamster mare. Sire not exactly setting the bloodstock world alight as yet. Beaten 32L on debut in a maiden hurdle here earlier this month. Needs more time.
Ask gelding. Dam modest maiden hurdler. Promising fourth of 13 beaten over 12l on debut at Listowel before disappointing here earlier this month. Watching brief for now.
Modest form in a number of point-to-point starts and will need to raise overall portrait to land a blow here on rules and stable debut.
Point-to-point winner at the third attempt on yielding-to-soft ground in April over 12-months ago. Winner of his most recent bumpers at Downpatrick and at Tipperary earlier this month. Sets the bar here.
Hasn't shown any spark in his two career hurdle starts, the latest of which came in a Clonmel maiden earlier this month when beaten 16L. Too much to find here.
Winner on debut of a Kilbeggan bumper last month but has been firmly put in his place in a couple of gloomy maiden hurdle efforts since. Looks a tall order.
Stowaway gelding. Dam an above average hurdler, winner at 2m-2m4f over hurdles/chase. Well down the field on both below-par career starts in Listowel and Roscommon maiden hurdles. Impossible to make a case for.
Gelding by Fuisse out of an Anabaa mare. Half-brother to handy types Peruvian Bleu and Not That Fuisse. Ended up 113L in rear on debut in a Listowel maiden hurdle last month. Improvement needed.
Dismal start to his maiden hurdle career beaten 43L on debut before only getting as far as the first here last month. Hard to place any faith in.
Daughter of St Jovite out of a dam that was unplaced on the flat. No impression and never nearer on debut in a Punchestown bumper when last seen in June. Plenty to prove on hurdling launch.
Lightly raced mare whose last visit to the track was over two years ago. First time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Six-race maiden hurdler and signs of ability in a couple of starts but hardly produces bundles of confidence here in this company.

Royal Rendezvous (4/6), Empire Burleque (10/3), Tara Dylan (4/1), Steel Cap (20/1), Serefeli (25/1), Criq Sun (25/1), An Siltean (25/1), Tournois (33/1), Strong Current (33/1), Road By The River (50/1), Kilchreest Moon (66/1), Getaday (66/1), Live Every Day (66/1), Ballybeggan Peggy (66/1), Kate Van Hall (66/1), Captain Doran (100/1), Ventura Boulevard (100/1)
Difficult to see past the Willie Mullins-trained dual bumper winner, ROYAL RENDEZVOUS on hurdling debut with Ruby Walsh in the plate. The Gigginstown House-owned Empire Burleque, a bumper winner over this trip is sure to be well prepped for his debut here and along with the generally disappointing Tara Dylan can hit the frame behind the selection.
